Answer:

Platinum is a Heterogeneous catalyst

Explanation:

Catalyst are substance that speed up the rate of a chemical reaction . Catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering it activation energy. During the reaction, the catalyst are not consumed. In other words, catalyst does not change in amount as it does not go into the reaction.

Catalyst can be homogeneous or heterogeneous . A homogeneous catalyst is one which phase(liquid or gas) is same as the reactant phase. Heterogeneous catalyst are catalyst which phase(solid) is different from the reactants phase.

From the reaction above

2H2O(aq) Pt(s)→ 2H2O(l) + O2(g)

Platinum is at the solid phase which is a different phase from the reactant(Hydrogen peroxide) which is Aqueous.

Since platinum is of a different phase , it is a heterogeneous catalyst.

Answer:

Heterogeneous

Explanation:

The catalyst, Pt, is not in the same phase as the reactants, i.e. it is solid, whilst the hydrogen peroxide is aqueous.

If you have 12.5g of fluoride and 16.2g of sodium, which is the limiting reactant and how sodium fluoride in grams is your theor

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

F2 is the limiting reactant

27.6 grams of NaF is produced.

Explanation:

Balance the equation first.

2Na+ F2 ---> 2NaF

To find the limiting reactant, solve for how much NaF can be produced with Na and F2

12.5g F2 x (1 mole F2/ 38.00 grams F2)x (2 mole NaF/ 1 mole F2)

=0.658 moles NaF

16.2g Na x (1 mole Na/ 22.99 grams Na)x (2 mole NaF/ 2 mole Na)

=0.705 moles NaF

Since F2 produced the least NaF, F2 is the limiting reactant.

Now, to find how much NaF there is, use the moles solved above with F2 as the limiting reactant.

0.658 moles NaF x (41.99 grams NaF/ 1 mole NaF)= 27.6 moles NaF

27.6 moles of NaF would be theoretically produced.

A voltaic cell consists of a Pb/Pb2+ half-cell and a Cu/Cu2+ half-cell at 25 ?C. The initial concentrations of Pb2+ and Cu2+ are

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

a) Ecell = 0.5123 V

b) Ecell = 0.4695 V

c) [Pb2 +] = 4.75 M

Explanation:

The reaction at the cathode is represented as follows:

Cu2 + + 2e- -> Cu (s) Eocathode = 0.34 V

The reaction at the anode is equal to:

Pb (s) -> Pb2 + + 2e- Eoanode = -0.13 V

The number of moles of the electrons that are involved is equal to n = 2

Standard cell potential equals Eo = Eocathode - Eoanode = 0.34 V- (-0.13 V) = 0.47 V

The initial cell potential can be calculated with the following formula:

Ecell = Eocell - - 0.0592 / n) log ([(Pb2 +)] / [(Cu2 +)]) = 0.47 - (0.0592 / 2) log (0.052 / 1.4) = 0.5123 V

The reaction in the cell is equal to:

Cu2 + + Pb (s) -> Cu (s) + Pb2 +

The concentration of Cu2 that gives the exercise is equal 0.2 M

Therefore, the change in concentration for Cu2 + is equal to:

Cu2 + = 1.4 M - 0.2 M = 1.2 M

We use the formula from part a)

Ecell = Eocell - (0.0592 / n) log ([(Pb2 +)] / [(Cu2 +)]) = 0.47 - (0.0592 / 2) log (1,252 / 1.2) = 0.4695 V

To find the concentration of Pb2 + when there is a potential change in the cell of 0.37 V, we must clear the concentration of Pb2 + from the following formula:

Eccell = Echocell - (0.0592 / n) log (([Pb2 +]) / ([Cu2 +]))

0.0296 log ([Pb2 +] / [Cu2 +]) = (Eocélula - Ecélula / 0.0296)

Clearing Pb2 +:

[Pb2 +] = 4.75 M

What is the theoretical yield of a reaction?

mestny [16]

I think it's D, because theoretical yield is like, the yield you'd get if 100% of the reactants formed to make product. Well that's how I think of it, but it has something to do with limiting reagents and stuff. Sorry this isn't a really detailed explanation.
