Answer:

It is termed a buffering agent

Explanation:

A buffering agent consist of a weak acid and a base that is used to maintain the acidity of a solution after the addition of

another acid or base

A buffer is used to prevent any rapid change in ph

Calculate the cell potential at 25oC under the following nonstandard conditions: 2MnO4-(aq) + 3Cu(s) + 8H+(aq) ⟶ 2MnO2(s) + 3Cu2

baherus [9]

Answer:

1.346 v

Explanation:

1) Fist of all we need to calculate the standard cell potential, one should look up the reduction potentials for the species envolved:

(oxidation) $Cu_{(s)}$ → $Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} +2e$ E°=0.337 v

(reduction) $MnO_{4 (aq)} + 3e + 4H^{+}_{(aq)}$ → $MnO_{2 (aq)}+2H_{2}O$ E°=1.679 v

(overall) $2MnO_{4 (aq)}+3Cu_{(s)}$ +8H^{+}_{(aq)}→ $3Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}+2MnO_{2 (aq)}+4H_{2}O$ E°=1.342 v

2) Nernst Equation

Knowing the standard potential, one calculates the nonstandard potential using the Nernst Equation:

$E=E^{0} -\frac{RT}{nF}Ln\frac{[red]}{[ox]}$

Where 'R' is the molar gas constant, 'T' is the kelvin temperature, 'n' is the number of electrons involved in the reaction and 'F' is the faraday constant.

The problem gives the [red]=0.66M and [ox]=1.69M, just apply to the Nernst Equation to give

$E=1.342 -\frac{298.15*8.314}{6*96500}Ln\frac{[.66]}{[1.69]}=1.346$

E=1.346

Help me with these questions :)

maxonik [38]

Answer:

1 ) H2O 2) Hydrogen and oxygen 3) Compound

Explanation:

1) To write a chemical formula, you write the number of molecules of an element (2 hydrogen atoms + 1 Oxygen atom, or H2O). The letters represent the element's notation on the periodic table, while the number that follows it represents the number of atoms of that particular element within the compound. If there is no number that follows the letter, there is only one.

2) Letter "H" on the periodic table represents hydrogen, while "O" represents oxygen

3) You can tell that this is a compound because it is made of two or more elements found on the periodic table

2. Nitric oxide contains 46.66% nitrogen and 53.34% oxygen. Water contains 11.21% hydrogen and 88.79% oxygen. Ammonia contains 1

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The law of reciprocal proportions states that if two elements react individually with a given weight of a third element, the ratio of the masses with which they combine with the third element are either the same or a simple multiple of the ratio of the masses with which they combine with each other

The compounds formed includes;

1) Nitric oxide, NO

Nitrogen = 46.66% × 30.01 = 14

Oxygen = 53.34% × 30.01 = 16

2) Water, H₂O

Hydrogen = 11.21% × 18.01528 = 2

Oxygen = 88.79% × 18.01528 ≈ 16

3) Ammonia, NH₃

Hydrogen = 17.78% × 17.031 ≈ 3

Nitrogen = 82.22% × 17.031 ≈ 14

The ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in nitric oxide = 14:16 = 7:8

The ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in ammonia = 14:3

The ratio in which hydrogen and oxygen combine with nitrogen = 3/16

The ratio of hydrogen and oxygen combine with each other in water = 2/16

Therefore, the ratio with which hydrogen and oxygen combine with nitrogen, is (2/3) times the ratio with which they combine with each other, which verifies the law of reciprocal proportions
