Explain why sodium chloride solution cannot be used as the electrolyte to produce

ira [324]

Explanation:

Because the solution only contains Na+ and Cl− ions, and water, and not the metal Na(s) . You cannot evaporate the water from the solution and hope to obtain anything but NaCl(s) .

Na(s) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1 , but Na+(aq) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 . That means they are not the same element, and thus, there is no straightforward way of extracting Na(s) from a NaCl (aq) solution

The sodium atom loses an electron to form a sodium ion (Na+). Which statement is correct with respect to its atomic radius?

mixer [17]

Its atomic radius increases because there is less electron shielding after the sodium loses one e-. Sodium is a nonmetal which means it forms an anion. Anions always increase from their original atomic radius

How much energy (in joules) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature? A. 51,3

expeople1 [14]

The amount of energy released when 0.06 kg of mercury condenses at the same temperature can be calculated using its latent heat of fusion which is the opposite of melting. Latent heat of fusion and melting can be used because they have the same magnitude, but opposite signs. Latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state or phase of a substance. For latent heat, there is no temperature change. The equation is:

E = m(ΔH)

where:
m = mass of substance
ΔH = latent heat of fusion or melting

According to data, the ΔH of mercury is approximately 11.6 kJ/kg.

E = 0.06kg (11.6 kJ/kg) = 0.696 kJ or 696 J

The answer is D. 697.08 J. Note that small differences could be due to rounding off or different data sources.

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Distinguish between Accuracy and Precision Question Jamie is measuring the mass of one mole of carbon. She measures the mass 4 times, achieving the following measurements: 11.86 g, 11.87 g, 11.89 g, and 11.90 g. If the accepted value of one mole of carbon is 12.11 g, how can Jamie's measurements best be described?

Select the correct answer below:

Jamie's measurements are both precise and accurate,

Jamie's measurements are accurate but not precise.

Jamie's measurements are precise but not accurate,

Jamie's measurements are neither precise nor accurate,

Answer : The correct option is, Jamie's measurements are precise but not accurate.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

As we are given that:

The measurements are, 11.86, 11.87, 11.89 and 11.90

The accepted value is, 12.11

The average of these values = $\frac{11.86+11.87+11.89+11.90}{4}=11.88$

From this we conclude that, these measurements are close to each other that means they are precise. But the accepted value are not equal to average of four values that means they are not accurate.

Hence, the correct option is, Jamie's measurements are precise but not accurate.
