<u>Answer:</u> The potential of electrode is -0.79 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

When zinc is dipped in zinc sulfate solution, the electrode formed is Zn^{2+}(aq.)/Zn(s)

Reduction reaction follows:  Zn^{2+}(0.1M)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(s);(E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V)

To calculate the potential of electrode, we use the equation given by Nernst equation:

E_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}=E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Zn]}{[Zn^{2+}]}

where,

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

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = -0.76 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn]=1M    (concentration of pure solids are taken as 1)

[Zn^{2+}]=0.1M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=-0.76-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{1}{0.1})\\\\E_{cell}=-0.79V

Hence, the potential of electrode is -0.79 V

Select all statements that are correct:____
topjm [15]

Answer:

A, C and D are correct.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the vapor pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent as stated by the Raoult's law:

P_{vap}^{solution}=x_{solvent}P_{solvent}

Since the solute is not volatile, the mole fraction of the solute is not taken into account for vapor pressure of the solution, therefore A is correct whereas B is incorrect.

Moreover, since the higher the vapor pressure, the weaker the intermolecular forces due to the fact that less more molecules are like to change from liquid to vapor and therefore more energy is required for such change, we can evidence that both C and D are correct.

Best regards.

In a redox reaction, the substance that accepts electrons is said to be
brilliants [131]
The substance doesn't have a specific name. We just say that that substance is being reduced. Remember this mnemonic - OILRIG where "Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain" of electrons.

What is the product of silver nitrate + lead ii nitrate?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

In theory, not much of anything. The vast majority of nitrates are water soluble. Aside, not sure what chemistry level you are at but you will probably be asked to know or memorize some solubility rules. This, for lack of a better phrase, Nitrate rule, is near spot on. With one exception—a rare one—all metal cationic nitrates are soluble in water. All of them. So, assuming you are talking about aqueous, water-based solutions of these salts and mixing them together, I expect nothing to occur. Both solutions, I believe are colorless in water and will thus remain so. If you had say a solution of Iron (III) nitrate and copper (II) nitrate, slightly different story. Both are colorful solutions and I would think you might see blending of colors but no reaction; no precipitate will form. You will probably learn about markers of a chemical reaction. One of these is a color change. Note, you should read this as a change of color from what you previously had. Going from red to blue or colorless to colored (or vice versa) is a strong indication of a reaction (e. g. evidence of bond-breaking and bond-formation). The mere mixing of colors does not constitute a chemical reaction.
