This would not be a good idea because bacteria is everywhere and function as a part of out everyday lives. Starting off with animals, many animals rely on bacteria to digest their food so many animals would begin to die off. Ecosystems would fail due to nitrogen not being able to cycle.
Without bacteria biological waste would build up causing a drop in population, eventually going extinct.
Basically, the balance of nature between humans, animals, and plants would no longer exist.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential E0red = +0.13V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the
Ivan

Answer:

a. 1.23 V

b. No maximum

Explanation:

Required:

a. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

b. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

The standard cell potential (E°cell) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E°cell = E°red, cat - E°red, an

If E°cell must be at least 1.10 V (E°cell > 1.10 V),

E°red, cat - E°red, an > 1.10 V

E°red, cat - 0.13V > 1.10 V

E°red, cat > 1.23 V

The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.23 V while there is no maximum standard reduction potential.

Identify what type of reaction is below. Also, determine what coefficients that would balance the chemical equation. ___ C4H10 +
Evgen [1.6K]

This is a combustion reaction because it is being combined with oxygen. Then to balance you will put the number of carbons you have or 4 in front of the CO2 and then same with H2. Then you will add up the oxygen and divide it by two to get. 1, (13/2), 4, 5

Why the measured pressure of a gas under conditions that are very close to those that would result in condensation will be lower
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Inter-molecular forces and molecular volumes are the chief reasons for lower measured pressure

Explanation:

The kinetic theory assumes that gas particles occupy a negligible fraction of the total volume of the gas. It also assumes that the force of attraction between gas molecules is zero.

However, during high pressure, the volume of the gas particles are not negligible compare to the total gas volume and as such the volume of a real gas under such condition is higher than the Ideal gas. Vander-waal attempted to modify the ideal gas equation by subtracting the excess volume from the ideal equation. The increased volume is the reason the measured pressure of a real gas is  less than an ideal gas

On the other hand,  close to condensation, the other  assumption of negligible forces of attraction becomes invalid. As inter-molecular distances decrease, inter-molecular forces increase reducing the bombardment of the wall of the container due to restricted particle movement and lower measured gas pressure.
