An electromagnet is a magnet that is created using an electric current -- created by electricity. Since electricity can be turned on and off, so can an electromagnet. It can even be weakened or strengthened by decreasing or increasing the current. Also when charges, like electrons or protons, are stationary, they produce electric forces. But when they're moving, they produce magnetic forces.

Well I'm sure many a time you've seen on some science experiment someone wrap a copper wire around a nail well thats generally the idea for electromagnets you get a solid piece of iron which is the only metal that is magnetic and you wrap a copper wire around it and the idea is to make two opposing magnetic poles by aligning the molecules with a electrical charge (a battery) so now with all three pieces assembles you have a copper wire attached to two sides of a battery and wrapped around a nail

The standard reduction potentials for the Ag+|Ag(s) and Zn2+| Zn(s) half-cell reactions are +0.799 V and -0.762 V, respectively.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: The potential of the given cell is 1.551 V

Explanation:

The given chemical cell follows:

$Zn(s)|Zn^{2+}(0.125M)||Ag^{+}(0.240M)|Ag(s)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(0.125M)+2e^-;E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.762V$

Reduction half reaction: $Ag^{+}(0.240M)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag}=0.799V$ ( × 2)

Net cell reaction: $Zn(s)+2Ag^{+}(0.240M)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(0.125M)+2Ag(s)$

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:

$E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.762)=1.561V$

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = ? V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.561 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

$[Zn^{2+}]=0.125M$

$[Ag^{+}]=0.240M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=1.561-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{(0.125)}{(0.240)^2})$

$E_{cell}=1.551V$

Hence, the potential of the given cell is 1.551 V

Why does poop turn blue after you bleach it

Llana [10]

Enzymes and activators in the poop might cause the bleach to decompose quickly, releasing chlorine gas. Otherwise, it would have the effect making your toilet smell like a swimming pool, which might be a worthwhile improvement.

Question 22

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

O2, oxygen.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the undergoing chemical reaction, we need to compute the moles of CO2 yielded by 85 g of CH4 (molar mass = 16 g/mol) and by 320 g of O2 (molar mass 32 g/mol) via the following mole-mass relationships:

$n_{CO_2}^{by\ CH_4}=85gCH_4*\frac{1molCH_4}{16gCH_4} *\frac{1molCO_2}{1molCH_4} =5.3molCO_2\\\\n_{CO_2}^{by\ O_2}=320gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2} *\frac{1molCO_2}{2molO_2} =5molCO_2$

Considering the 1:2:1 among CH4, O2 and CO2. Therefore, since 320 g of O2 yield the smallest amount of CO2 we infer that the limiting reactant is O2.

Best regards.

What is arranged to form a material with a crystal structure

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is known as crystallography.
