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.

A gas sealed in a drum container occupies 7.70 L at a sizzling 325C degrees. What will the volume be if the drum is quickly chi

grigory [225]

The volume of the drum after chilled quickly is 3.6 L.

Explanation:

As per the Charles Law, for any gas at constant pressure, volume of the gas is in direct proportion with the temperature measured in Kelvin. As the temperature increases, the gas expands and vice versa.

$$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2} \\$

After chilling the drum, the volume will get reduced and it can be found as,

V2 = $$\frac{V1T2}{T1}$

= $$\frac{7.7 L \times 282 K}{598 K}$

= 3.6 L

Here the drum is chilled quickly, that is temperature is reduced and so the volume also decreases.
