Answer:

E^{0} for Zn^{2+}\mid Zn system would be -1.53 V

Explanation:

Determination of standard reduction potential of any system is done by placing the system in cathode and a reference half cell in anode and then evaluate the cell potential. The cell potential is the standard reduction potential of the system.

So E_{cell}^{0}=E_{system}^{0}-E_{reference}^{0}

As E_{H^{+}\mid H_{2}}^{0} is equal to 0 therefore cell potential is equal to reduction potential of any system by taking hydrogen electrode as a reference.

E_{Zn^{2+}\mid Zn}^{0} equal to -0.76 V with respect to hydrogen

E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe^{2+}}^{0} equal to 0.77 V with respect to hydrogen

Therefore standard reduction potential of Zn^{2+}\mid Zn system when Fe^{3+}\mid Fe^{2+} system is taken as reference is-

E_{cell}^{0}=E_{Zn^{2+}\mid Zn}^{0}-E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe^{2+}}^{0}

                          = -0.76 V - 0.77 V

                          = -1.53 V

John has a solution with a pH of 12.21. what is the hydrogen ion concentration of this solution? ​
Georgia [21]

Answer:

  1. In this way, ph is determined by hydrogen ion concentration . In the case of neutral solution [H+] =10-7 which we call a ph of 7. This means, for example, that a hydrogen-ion concentration of a solution with a ph of 4 is 10-4 mol/l, meaning it contains 0.0001 mole of hydrogen ion in a solution of 1 liter.

Hello this is my 3 attempt, please someone answer this i'm begging you.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

No worries, I got you :)

So for the first question, you need to use PV=nRT to find the n, or in other words, the number of moles. Then, you can find the molar mass since you know the grams and the moles

110 kPa / 101.3 = 1.085 atm (I converted it to atm so I can use the .08206 L atm/ k mol  for the rate)

550 ml / 1000 = .550 L (I converted mL to L in order to use the .08206 L atm/ k mol for the Rate)

28.5 c + 273 = 301.5 K (I converted C to K in order to use the .08206 L atm/ k mol for the Rate)

PV=nRT

(1.085) (.550 L) = n (0.08206) (301.5)

Divide the (0.08206) (301.5) to get n alone:

(1.085) (.550 L) / (0.08206) (301.5) = n

When I divided, I got n= .02412 moles, and since we have 1.88g , we divide the 1.88 by .02412 to get the molar mass (grams/mole)

77.94 g/mole is the molar mass

we know that there are 3 H's in the compound, so we do 3(1.008) and subtract 77.94 by what you get.

3 x 1.008 = 3.024 -----> 77.94-3.024 = 74.9

Now we look at the periodic table and try to find an element that has a molar mass of 74.9

Arsenic (As) has a molar mass of 74.922, which is close enough. Plus, Arsenic has a charge of 3, so it fits with the 3 hydrogens.

A student thinks that halogens are highly reactive because their electrons are weakly attracted to their nuclei. Which is eviden
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)

Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.

Ionic bonds form between which two types of elements?​
Alla [95]

Answer:

Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl.
