How can you tell that a white powder is salt without tasting it?

You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.

Natali [406]

Answer:

A. Diethyl ether will react with the alkenes that were formed in the experiment.

Explanation:

Ethers such as diethyl ether dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar organic compounds. Nonpolar compounds are generally more soluble in diethyl ether than alcohols because ethers do not have a hydrogen bonding network that must be broken up to dissolve the solute.

Pls help Would be much appreciated:)
Pie

Answer:

Ok so,  b. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni) is reduced - In voltaic cells, also called galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. A mnemonic for this is "An Ox. Red Cat." So since silver is oxidized, the silver half-cell is the anode. And the nickel half-cell is the cathode...

i. Write the half-reactions for this reaction, indicating the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction- The substance having highest positive  potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced

ii. Which metal is the anode, and which is the cathode?-The anode is where the oxidation reaction takes place. In other words, this is where the metal loses electrons. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place.

iii. Calculate the standard potential (voltage) of the cell

Look up the reduction potential,

E

, for the reduction half-reaction in a table of reduction potentials

Look up the reduction potential for the reverse of the oxidation half-reaction and reverse the sign to obtain the oxidation potential. For the oxidation half-reaction,

iv. What kind of electrochemical cell is this? Explain your answer.

All parts in the electrochemical cells are labeled in second figure. Following are the part in electrochemical cells

1) Anode 2) Cathode 3) gold Stripe (Electrode) 4) Aluminium Glasses (Electrode) 5) Connecting wires 6) Battery

A sample of N2 gas in a flask is heated from 27 Celcius to 150 Celcius. If the original gas is @ pressure of 1520 torr, what is
Romashka [77]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{B.) 2.8 atm}}

Explanation:

The volume and amount are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac’s Law:

At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

\dfrac{p_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{T_{2}}

Data:

p₁ = 1520 Torr; T₁ =   27 °C

p₂ = ?;               T₂ = 150 °C

Calculations:

(a) Convert the temperatures to kelvins

T₁ = (  27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K

T₂ = (150 + 273.15) K = 423.15 K

(b) Calculate the new pressure

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1520}{300.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{423.15}\\\\5.064 & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{423.15}\\\\5.064\times423.15&=&p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \text{2143 Torr}\end{array}\\

(c) Convert the pressure to atmospheres

p = \text{2143 Torr} \times \dfrac{\text{1 atm}}{\text{760 Torr}} = \textbf{2.8 atm}\\\\\text{The new pressure reading will be $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.8 atm}}$}
