Answer: C)  0.637 V

Explanation:

The balanced redox reaction is:

Zn(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)

Here Zn undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials.

Zn^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(s)= -0.763

Pb^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Pb(s)= -0.126

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.763V

E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.126V

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

E^0=-0.126-(-0.763V)=0.637V

The standard emf of a cell is 0.637 V

At 700 K, the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) <====> 2SO3(g) has the equilibrium constant Kc = 4.3 x 106. At a certain instant, f

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is defined for a generic reaction:

aA + bB → cC + dD

Q=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are not those of equilibrium, but other given concentrations

Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which the direct and indirect reaction have the same speed and is represented by a constant Kc, which for a generic reaction as shown above, is defined:

Kc=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are those of equilibrium.

This constant is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

  • If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.
  • If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.
  • If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

In this case:

Q=\frac{[So_{3}] ^{2} }{[SO_{2} ]^{2}* [O_{2}] }

Q=\frac{10^{2} }{0.10^{2} *0.10}

Q=100,000

100,000 < 4,300,000 (4.3*10⁶)

Q < Kc

<u><em> The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.</em></u>

Complete and balance the equation for this single-displacement reaction. Phases are optional. Li+NaOH--&gt;
sdas [7]
The complete and <span>balanced equation for this single-displacement reaction would be written as follows:

</span><span>Li+NaOH--> LiOH + Na

In this reaction, lithium replace sodium in the compound sodium hydroxide forming lithium hydroxide and sodium metal as products. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Water boils at 100°C at sea level. If the water in this experiment did not boil at 100°C, what could be the reason?
RSB [31]
One reason could be that the water in this experiment, didn’t boil, but instead became a “chemical reaction” from atmospheric pressure which is normal.

While heating two different samples, of
sea level water it decides on a temperature of 102°C and the other boils at 99.2°C. Basically calculating of the percent error.

What is the characteristic of the polar water molecule?
NikAS [45]

A water molecule, because of its shape, is a polar molecule. That is, it has one side that is positively charged and one side that is negatively charged. The molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The bonds between the atoms are called covalent bonds, because the atoms share electrons.
