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

Suppose you find a rock that contains some potassium-40 (half-life of 1.3 billion years). you measure the amount and determine t
Alborosie
Equation for Half life :
A = a(0.5)^(t/h)
A is current amount, "a" is initial amount, h is halflife, t is time

5 = 40(0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
5/40 = (0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
take the log of both sides , power rule
Log(5/40) = (t/1.3x10^9) * Log(0.5)
(1.3x10^9) * Log(5/40) / Log(0.5) = t
3.9x10^9 years = t

And if you think about what a half life is, the time it take for the amount to reduce to half.
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
It went through 3 half-lifes
3 * 1.3x10^9 = 3.9x10^9 years

Calculate the speed of light in an unknown substance whose index of refraction is 1.65. Would you expect the light to bend towar
Anna71 [15]

(a) The speed of light in the unknown substance is determined 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s.

(b) The light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.

<h3>What is the speed of light?</h3>

The speed of light passing from air into the substance is calculated as follows;

refractive index = speed of light in air / speed of light in the substance

speed of light in the substance = speed of light in air/refractive index

speed of light in the substance = (3 x 10⁸) / (1.65)

speed of light in the substance = 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.

Fed [463]

Answer:

A. -166.6 kJ/mol

B. -127.7 kJ/mol

C. -133.9 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the oxidation of sulfur dioxide.

2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 SO₃(g)     ΔG° = -141.8 kJ

The Gibbs free energy (ΔG) can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ

where,

ΔG° is the standard Gibbs free energy

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature (25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K)

Q is the reaction quotient

The molar concentration of each gas ([]) can be calculated from its pressure (P) using the following expression:

[]=\frac{P}{R.T}

<em>Calculate ΔG at 25°C given the following sets of partial pressures.</em>

<em>Part A  130atm SO₂, 130atm O₂, 2.0atm SO₃. Express your answer using four significant figures.</em>

[SO_{2}]=[O_{2}]=\frac{130atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K} =5.32M

[SO_{3}]=\frac{2.0atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K} =0.0818M

Q=\frac{[SO_3]^{2} }{[SO_{2}]^{2}.[O_{2}] } =\frac{0.0818^{2} }{5.32^{3} } =4.44 \times 10^{-5}

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ = -141.8 kJ/mol + (8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K) × 298 K × ln (4.44 × 10⁻⁵) = -166.6 kJ/mol

<em>Part B  5.0atm SO₂, 3.0atm O₂, 30atm SO₃  Express your answer using four significant figures.</em>

<em />

[SO_{2}]=\frac{5.0atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K}=0.204M

[O_{2}]=\frac{3.0atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K}=0.123M

[SO_{3}]=\frac{30atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K}=1.23M

Q=\frac{[SO_3]^{2} }{[SO_{2}]^{2}.[O_{2}] } =\frac{1.23^{2} }{0.204^{2}.0.123 } =296

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ = -141.8 kJ/mol + (8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K) × 298 K × ln 296 = -127.7 kJ/mol

<em>Part C Each reactant and product at a partial pressure of 1.0 atm.  Express your answer using four significant figures.</em>

<em />

[SO_{2}]=[O_{2}]=[SO_{3}]=\frac{1.0atm}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).298K}=0.0409M

Q=\frac{[SO_3]^{2} }{[SO_{2}]^{2}.[O_{2}] } =\frac{0.0409^{2} }{0.0409^{3}} =24.4

ΔG = ΔG° + R.T.lnQ = -141.8 kJ/mol + (8.314 × 10⁻³ kJ/mol.K) × 298 K × ln 24.4 = -133.9 kJ/mol

Explain how CO2 is absorbed into the ocean of H2O
Dmitrij [34]
The ocean absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere wherever air meets water. Wind causes waves, giving more opportunity for the water to absorb the carbon dioxide.
