What symbol is used to show the standard reduction potential of an oxidation reaction in a half-cell?

1 answer:

6 0

The reduction potential of an oxidation reaction in a half-cell is denoted by the symbol E°.
Reduction potential is the tendency of a given chemical species to become reduced, that is, gain electrons or undergo a decrease in oxidation number. The greater the reduction potential, the more likely that a species will be reduced.

The combustion method used to analyze for carbon and hydrogen can be adapted to give percentage N by collecting the nitrogen fro

12345 [234]

Answer:

The percentage of N in the compound is 0.5088

Explanation:

Mass of compound = 8.75 mg = 8.75×1000 = 8750 g

Mass of N2 = number of moles of N2 × MW of N2 = 1.59 × 28 = 44.52 g

% of N in the compound = (mass of N2/mass of compound) × 100 = (44.52/8750) × 100 = 5.088×10^-3 × 100 = 0.5088
