Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound is defined as the substance in which different elements are chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

For example, $MgSO_{4}$ is a compound and elements are present in 1:4 ratio.

A compound can be divided into its constituent or simpler substances.

Hence, a chemical formula shows the elements involved in it along with their identity and relative proportion.

But a chemical formula does not tell how atoms are joined together as it can be done by structural formula and not by chemical formula.

Thus, we can conclude that the chemical formula of a compound does not indicate how elements are joined in the compound.

How many moles of copper are there in 6.93 g of copper sample<br>pls be quick

Alex_Xolod [135]

Molar mass of copper=63.5g/mol
Given mass=6.93g

$\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{Molar\:mass}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=\dfrac{6.93}{63.5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\:moles=0.109\approx 1.11moles$

A sample of carbon dioxide occupies a 5.13 dm3 container at STP. What is the volume of the gas at a pressure of 286.5 kPa and a

suter [353]

Considering the ideal gas law and STP conditions, the volume of the gas at a pressure of 286.5 kPa and a temperature of 12.9°C is 1.8987 L.

<h3>Definition of STP condition</h3>

The STP conditions refer to the standard temperature and pressure. Pressure values at 1 atmosphere and temperature at 0 ° C are used and are reference values for gases. And in these conditions 1 mole of any gas occupies an approximate volume of 22.4 liters.

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P×V = n×R×T

where:

P is the gas pressure.
V is the volume that occupies.
T is its temperature.
R is the ideal gas constant. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.
n is the number of moles of the gas.

<h3>Volume of gas</h3>

In first place, you can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of STP conditions 22.4 L are occupied by 1 mole of carbon dioxide, 5.13 L (5.13 dm³= 5.13 L, being 1 dm³= 1 L) are occupied by how many moles of carbon dioxide?

$amount of moles of carbon dioxide=\frac{5.13 Lx1 mole of carbon dioxide}{22.4 L}$

<u><em>amount of moles of carbon dioxide= 0.229 moles</em></u>

Then, you know:

P= 286.5 kPa= 2.8275352 atm (being 1 kPa= 0.00986923 atm)
V= ?
T= 12.9 C= 285.9 K (being 0°C= 273 K)
R= 0.082 $\frac{atmL}{mol K}$
n= 0.229 moles

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

2.8275352 atm× V = 0.229 moles×0.082 $\frac{atmL}{mol K}$ × 285.9 K

Solving:

V= (0.229 moles×0.082 $\frac{atmL}{mol K}$ × 285.9 K)÷ 2.8275352 atm

Finally, the volume of the gas at a pressure of 286.5 kPa and a temperature of 12.9°C is 1.8987 L.

What gets reduced in an electrolytic cell made with nickel and copper electrodes?

jekas [21]

Answer:

D. Ni²⁺

Explanation:

We know at once that the answer cannot be A or C, because Ni and Cu are already in their lowest oxidation states.

The correct answer must be either B or D.

An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a galvanic cell. In the former, the reaction proceeds spontaneously. In the latter, you must force the reaction to occur.

One strategy to solve this problem is:

Look up the standard reduction potentials for the half reaction·
Figure out the spontaneous direction.
Write the equation in the reverse direction.

1. Standard reduction potentials

E°/V

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; 0.3419

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257

2. Galvanic Cell

We reverse the direction of the more negative half cell and add.

Ni ⟶ Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻; 0.257

<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; </u> 0.3419

Ni + Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu + Ni²⁺; 0.599

This is the spontaneous direction.

Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu.

3. Electrochemical cell

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257

Cu + Ni²⁺ ⟶ Ni + Cu²⁺; -0.599

This is the non-spontaneous direction.

Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni in the electrolytic cell.

Which of the following results from acid deposition? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following results from acid deposition?

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Objects made of stone, like marble headstones, are worn away.

Explanation:

Acid deposition on earth is mostly as a result of acid rain. Acid rain forms which oxides of non-metals such as nitrogen and carbon dissolves in rain water to produce weak acid.

This weak acid that is produced easily wears away materials made up of marble and other sculptures. The most active of the acid is weak carbonic acid produced by dissolution of carbon dioxide in rain water.

Can someone provide me with 5 different sentences describing what the boundry type Divergent - Mid-Ocean Ridge is? 10 POINTS!!

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The massive mid-ocean ridge system is a continuous range of underwater volcanoes that wraps around the globe like seams on a baseball, stretching nearly 65,000 kilometers (40,390 miles).

The majority of the system is underwater, with an average water depth to the top of the ridge of 2,500 meters (8,200 feet).

Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart.

As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt.

The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge – slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.

tell me if this is wrong please
