<span>Fluoride is the element that is added to city water supplies and toothpastes to prevent tooth decay. According to research, fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay as it can reduce cavities by 24% and by boosting the production of saliva. Saliva helps to protect the tooth enamel by providing high levels of calcium and phosphate ions to the surface of the tooth.</span>

Rank the four gases (air, exhaled air, gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2, gas from decomposition of NaHCO3) in order o
TEA [102]
Decomposition of sodium bicarbonate produces pure carbon dioxide and decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produces pure oxygen.
The amount of carbon dioxide in exhaled air is greater than that in regular air. Thus, the order is:

gas from decomposition of NaHCO₃ → Exhaled air → Air → gas from the decomposition of H₂O₂

Interactive Activity—The Relationship among E°cell, Keq, and Gibbs Free Energy In an electrochemical cell, the potential differe
amm1812

Answer:

Keq = 1.17 × 10²⁰

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

Cu²⁺(aq) + Ni(s) → Cu(s) + Ni²⁺(aq)

We can identify 2 half-reactions.

Cathode (reduction): Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s)            E°red = 0.337 V

Anode (oxidation): Ni(s) → Ni²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻                  E°red = -0.257 V

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.337 V - (-0.257V) = 0.594 V

We can calculate the equilibrium constant (Keq) using the following expression.

E\°=\frac{0.0592V}{n} logKeq

where,

n are the moles of electrons transferred

0.594V=\frac{0.0592V}{2} logKeq\\Keq = 1.17 \times 10^{20}

Can some help me plz.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Pythagoras was the first ancient astronomer to suggest that there was a harmony of the spheres, and that the movement of the planets, sun, moon and stars could be described by whole numbers and mathematical precision. His other discovery was that the morning and evening star are the same thing, the planet Venus.
