This is true. Elements past lead are radioactive, because the repulsive force of the protons cannot be overpowered by the “gluing” ability of neutrons (remember, likes repel). As more and more protons are added, generally, the elements become more unstable; for example, Bismuth, right next to lead on the Periodic Table, is radioactive, but the half life of this element is about a billion times longer than the current age of the universe, but Oganesson, element number 118, has a half life of fractions of a second.

Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0
Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative,  the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity  because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .

So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:

Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V =  5.06 V

Equally valid is to write the equation as:

Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species

These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.

Volume occupied 3.52x10^32 moluchles<br>of Mathane (CH4)<br>1) At STP​
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

volume = 13097674418.528dm³

Explanation:

n = (3.52)*10^32/(6.02)*10^23)

n = (584717607.97)

n = volume /molar volume

molar volume at stp = 22.4dm³

volume= 584717607.97 x 22.4

volume = 13097674418.528dm³

Which notation represents atoms that have the same number of protons but a different neutron?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Those are called isotopes,

the answer is 3.

each element has its own unique number of protons (atomic number) but a different number of neutrons can be shown in example number 3.
