From the reduction standard potentials;
The emf of Zinc = -0.76 V
and the emf of Aluminium = -1.66 V
In a galvanic cell the component with lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that it is added to the anode compartment. 
Therefore. the voltage of a galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminium will be;
Voltage =Ered- Eoxd
             = -0.76 - (-1.66)
             = 0.9 V

Answer : The voltage of galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminum is, 0.90V

Explanation :

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

E^0_{[Al^{3+}/Al]}=-1.66V

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode compartment. The second forms the cathode compartment.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : Al+3e^-\rightarrow Al^{3+}       E^0_{[Al/Al^{3+}]}=1.66V

Reduction : Zn^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Zn       E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V

The expression for standard cell is,

E^0{cell}=E^0{Anode}+E^0{Cathode}

E^0=E^0_{[Al/Al^{3+}}+E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}

E^0=1.66V+(-0.76V)

E^0=0.90V

Therefore, the voltage of galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminum is, 0.90 V

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

4.52 x 10¹⁴ cycles/s

Explanation:

From c = f·λ => f = c/λ = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)/(6.63 x 10⁻⁷m) = 4.52 x 10¹⁴ cycles/s.

f = frequency = ?

λ = wavelength = 6.63 x 10⁻⁷ meter

c = speed of light in vacuum = 3.0 x 10⁸ meters/s

Briefly explain formality in solution.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Both molarity and formality express concentration as moles of solute per liter of solution. Formality is a substance's total concentration in solution without regard to its specific chemical form. ... The formality of a solution is defined as the number of formula mass of any solute dissolved in 1 litre of solution.

How can you tell which ionic compounds will react in an aqueous solution
Darina [25.2K]
1.  Determine if the ionic substances can break apart into ions.
 - e.g. CaCO3 isn't very soluble, do it can't dissolve and dissociate.  If it can't pop apart, no ions.
2.  Swap the partners for all the other ions that you can get from step 1.  You can skip pairings with the same charge - a + can't get close to another + to react.
3.  Use solubility, acid/base, and redox rules to see if anything will happen with the ions in solution.<span />
