A common dry-cell battery is the zinc-carbon battery, which uses a cell that is sometimes called the Leclanché cell. The cell is made up of an outer zinc container, which acts as the anode.

Answer:

Graphite

Explanation:

An electrode is a solid electric conductor (usually metallic) used in electrolytic cells for carrying electric current. An electrolytic cell is made up of electrodes and electrolytes. There are two types of electrodes

Anode - attracts negatively charged ions (anions)
Cathode - attracts positively charged ions (cations)

The common dry cell is the transistor battery. The cylindrical coating of this cell is made up of zinc which serves as the anode while the center electrode which is the graphite is the cathode. Graphite is one of the allotropes of carbon and it is a good conductor of electricity.

An electrolyte is a liquid/aqueous solution that allows the passage of electric current. The electrolyte in this cell is usually made up of manganese dioxide (MnO₂), carbon powder and ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl).

Answer:

mass % = 28.4%

mole fraction = 0.252

molality = 3.08 molal

molarity = 2.69 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of toluene = 50.0 mL = 0.05 L

Density toluene = 0.867 g/mL

Molar mass toluene = 92.14 g/mol

Volume of benzene = 125 mL = 0.125 L

Density benzene = 0.874 g/mL

Molar mass benzene = 78.11 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate masses

Mass = density * volume

Mass toluene = 50.0 mL * 0.867 g/mL = 43.35 g

Mass benzene = 125 mL * 0.874 g/mL = 109.25 g

Step 3: Calculate number of moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles toluene = 43.35 grams /92.14 g/mol = 0.470 5 moles

Moles benzene = 109.25 grams / 78.11 g/mol = 1.399 moles

Step 4: Calculate molarity of toluene

Molarity = moles / volume

Molarity toluene = 0.4705 moles / 0.175 L = 2.69 M

Step 5: Calculate mass % of toluene

Mass % = (43.35 grams / (43.35 + 109.25) )*100 % = 28.4 %

Step 6: Calculate mole fraction of toluene

Mole fraction toluene = Moles toluene / total number of moles

Mole fraction toluene = 0.4705 / (0.4705 + 1.399) = 0.252

Step 7: Molality of toluene

Molality = number of moles / mass

Molality of toluene = 0.4705 moles / (0.04335 + 0.10925)

Molality of toluene = 3.08 molal

An electric current can be conducted by _____. a sugar solution rubbing alcohol methane gas a salt solution

VMariaS [17]

The answer is salt water.

Salt water can conduct electricity or we can say that an electric current is conducted by salt water as salt water is a good conductor of electricity when salt that is sodium chloride or NaCl is dissolved in water , positively charged sodium (Na⁺) and negatively charged chlorine(Cl⁻) molecules are set apart by the water molecule so that they can float easily and freely. We can define the conductivity of a substance as the mobility or movement of ions. So as in water, sodium and chlorine are set apart and can move freely so it become a electrolyte that can conduct electricity.

Given the two reactions H2S(aq)⇌HS−(aq)+H+(aq), K1 = 9.57×10−8, and HS−(aq)⇌S2−(aq)+H+(aq), K2 = 1.46×10−19, what is the equilib

Dvinal [7]

Answer: The value of $K_c$ for the final reaction is $7.16\times 10^{25}$

Explanation:

The given chemical equations follows:

Equation 1: $H_2S(aq.)\rightleftharpoons HS^-(aq.)+H^(aq.);K_1$

Equation 2: $HS^-(aq.)\rightleftharpoons S^{2-}(aq.)+H^(aq.);K_2$

The net equation follows:

$S^{2-}(aq.)+2H^+(aq.)\rightleftharpoons H_2S(aq.);K_c$

As, the net reaction is the result of the addition of reverse of first equation and the reverse of second equation. So, the equilibrium constant for the net reaction will be the multiplication of inverse of first equilibrium constant and the inverse of second equilibrium constant.

The value of equilibrium constant for net reaction is:

$K_c=\frac{1}{K_1}\times \frac{1}{K_2}$

We are given:

$K_1=9.57\times 10^{-8}$

$K_2=1.46\times 10^{-19}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_c=\frac{1}{(9.57\times 10^{-8})}\times \frac{1}{(1.46\times 10^{-19})}=7.16\times 10^{25}$

Hence, the value of $K_c$ for the final reaction is $7.16\times 10^{25}$
