Answer:

Explanation:

57.1 g of oxygen combines with 42.9 g of carbon

57.1/16 atoms of oxygen combines with 42.9 / 12 atoms of carbon

3.56 atoms of oxygen combines with 3.575 atoms of carbon

one atom of oxygen combines with one atom of carbon

A appears to be CO ( carbon monoxide gas )

2 )

72.7 g of oxygen combines with 27.3 g of carbon

72.7 / 16 atoms of oxygen combines with 27.3 / 12 atoms of carbon

4.54 atoms of oxygen combines with 2.275 atoms of carbon

2 atoms of oxygen combines with 1 atom of carbon

B appears to be CO₂ ( Carbon dioxide)

6. A balloon filled with air has a volume of 3.25 L at 30°C. It is placed in a freezer at
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

2.82 L

T₁ = 303 K

T₂ = 263 K

The final volume is smaller.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial temperature (T₁): 30 °C
  • Initial volume (V₁): 3.25 L
  • Final temperature (T₂): -10 °C
  • Final volume (V₂): ?

Step 2: Convert the temperatures to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

T₁: K = 30°C + 273.15 = 303 K

T₂: K = -10°C + 273.15 = 263 K

Step 3: Calculate the final volume of the balloon

Assuming constant pressure and ideal behavior, we can calculate the final volume using Charles' law. Since the temperature is smaller, the volume must be smaller as well.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁ × T₂/T₁

V₂ = 3.25 L × 263 K/303 K = 2.82 L

Chalk markings cannot be easily rubbed off from a black board if kept for a long time.why?
snow_tiger [21]

The chalk particles embed themselves into the small pores on the surface.

Although a chalkboard seems smooth to the touch, it is quite rough at the microscopic level, with <em>pores</em> that reach below the surface.

When you drag chalk across the board, friction causes small particles of chalk to rub off onto the surface.

If you leave the markings for a long time, some of the chalk particles will work their way into the pores.

A brush will remove the surface particles, but <em>it will not be able to get at the particles in the pores</em>.

Which type of bond is found between atoms of solid cobalt?
Vsevolod [243]
The answer is (3) metallic. Cobalt is a transition metal, so it can't be covalent bonds, which bond non-metals, therefore eliminating choice 1 and 2. Ionic bonds are between metals and non metals, but solid cobalt does not have a non metal, eliminating choice 4 as well. Metallic bonds are bonds between metals, therefore the answer is (3) metallic.

Use the following half-reactions to construct a voltaic cell:
velikii [3]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.);E^o_{cell}=+1.53V

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow Cr(s);E^o=-0.73V\\\\Ag^+(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o=+0.80V

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, silver will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The half reactions for the above cell is:

Oxidation half reaction: Cr(s)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}+3e^-;E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.73V

Reduction half reaction: Ag^{+}+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag}=0.80V       ( × 3)

Net equation:  3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=0.80-(-0.73)=1.53V

Hence, the correct answer is 3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.);E^o_{cell}=+1.53V

How can i find the number of electrons are gained or lost
wel

15. 1 were lost

16. 3 were gained

17. 2 were lost

18. 1 was gained

You can figure that out by looking at the number nest to the molecule with a  plus or minus sign next to it

+ = gained

- = lost
