We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

<span>                                       x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>

<span>                                       <em> </em><span><em>x = 3.575 g</em></span></span>

The question is below
rodikova [14]
The anode is the electrode where the oxidation occurs.

Cathode is the electrode where the reducction occurs.

Equations:

  Mn(2+) + 2e-  --->  Mn(s)                      Eo = - 1.18 V
2Fe(3+) + 2e-  ----> 2 Fe(2+)                2Eo = + 1.54 V

The electrons flow from the electrode with the lower Eo to the electrode with the higher Eo yielding to a positive voltage.

Eo = 1.54 V - (- 1.18) = 1.54 + 1.18 = 2.72

Answer: 2.72 V

What is the hydrogen ion concentration of a substance with a pH of 4.5?​
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The hydrogen ion concentration of the substance is 3.16*10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

pH is a parameter used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a substance. The pH is calculated as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the concentration of hydronium ions [H₃O⁺] or hydrogen ions [H⁺].

pH= - log [H₃O⁺]= - log [H⁺]

Values ​​on the pH scale range from 0 to 14, where pH equal to 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic and above 7 is basic.

In this case, pH= 4.5

So:

4.5= - log [H⁺]

Solving:

[ H⁺]= 10⁻⁴ ⁵

[H⁺]= 3.16*10⁻⁵ M

The hydrogen ion concentration of the substance is 3.16*10⁻⁵ M

In which medium does sound travel the slowest?
ZanzabumX [31]
Sound actually travels slower in air.This is because sound is kinetic energy and has to pass from molecule to molecule.In gas the molecules are farther apart taking more time for it to pass,in water the molecules are closer so it takes less time for the sound to get from one molecule to another and with cast iron (since it's very dense) the molecules are very close allowing sound to travel quickly with ease.

The reaction between ammonia and oxygen is given below:
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

N2O(g) + 3 H2O(l) ---------------> 2 NH3(g) + 2 O2(g)

Explanation:

If we look at the reaction stated in the question, we will notice that the option chosen in the answer is the reverse of that reaction.

One thing is clear, if a reaction is possible, then its reverse reaction is equally possible. The equilibrium position may shift towards the forward or reverse reaction based on the conditions of the reaction.

Hence if the reaction, 2NH3(g) + 2O2(g) → N2O(g) + 3H2O(l) is possible, then the reaction, N2O(g) + 3 H2O(l) ---------------> 2 NH3(g) + 2 O2(g) is also possible.
