Answer:

The two most obvious ways to restore balance to carbon cycles are:

1. To move away from our dependence on fossil fuels.

2. To farm in ways that retain more carbon for longer periods than conventional farming methods currently do.

Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0

Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative, the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .

So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:

Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V = 5.06 V

Equally valid is to write the equation as:

Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species

These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.

Identify the decomposition reaction. 2nh3 + h2so4 ⟶ (nh4)2so4 2nabr + ca(oh)2 ⟶ cabr2 + 2naoh 2 no2 ⟶ 2 o2 + n2 3pb + 2h3po4 ⟶ 3

TEA [102]

A decomposition reaction should look like

A ------> B +C+...

It has to have only one reactant and several products.

2 NO2 ⟶ 2 O2 + N2

Three 1.0-l flasks, maintained at 308 k, are connected to each other with stopcocks. initially the stopcocks are closed. one of

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

0.6103 atm.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the vapor pressure of each component after the stopcocks are opened.

Volume after the stopcocks are opened = 3.0 L.

1) For N₂:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = 1.5 atm & V₁ = 1.0 L & V₂ = 3.0 L.

P₂ of N₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂ = (1.5 atm) (1.0 L) / (3.0 L) = 0.5 atm.

2) For H₂O:

Pressure of water at 308 K is 42.0 mmHg.

we need to convert from mmHg to atm: (1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg).

P of H₂O = (1.0 atm x 42.0 mmHg) / (760.0 mmHg) = 0.0553 atm.

We must check if more 2.2 g of water is evaporated,

n = PV/RT = (0.0553 atm) (3.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K) (308 K) = 0.00656 mole.

m = n x cmolar mass = (0.00656 mole) (18.0 g/mole) = 0.118 g.

It is lower than the mass of water in the flask (2.2 g).

3) For C₂H₅OH:

Pressure of C₂H₅OH at 308 K is 102.0 mmHg.

we need to convert from mmHg to atm: (1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg).

P of C₂H₅OH = (1.0 atm x 102.0 mmHg) / (760.0 mmHg) = 0.13421 atm.

We must check if more 0.3 g of C₂H₅OH is evaporated,

n = PV/RT = (0.13421 atm) (3.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K) (308 K) = 0.01594 mole.

m = n x molar mass = (0.01594 mole) (46.07 g/mole) = 0.7344 g.

It is more than the amount in the flask (0.3 g), so the pressure should be less than 0.13421 atm.

We have n = mass / molar mass = (0.30 g) / (46.07 g/mole) = 0.00651 mole.

So, P of C₂H₅OH = nRT / V = (0.00651 mole) (0.082 L.atm/mole.K) (308.0 K) / (3.0 L) = 0.055 atm.

So, total pressure = P of N₂ + P of H₂O + P of C₂H₅OH = 0.5 atm + 0.0553 atm + 0.055 atm = 0.6103 atm.
