Answer:

CO2 consists of individual molecules with one central carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms. Silicon does not form double bonds with oxygen. CO2 is gas but SiO2 is a solid because SiO2 has a giant molecular structure. CO2 has a simple molecular structure, and because of this, CO2 is gas but SiO2 is solid at room temperature.

Answer:

Explanation:

Because of their structure . Silica has a chain structure with e one silicon atom bonded to 4 oxygen atoms in the lattice. The structure is a long chain of tightly held atoms and this forms a solid.

The carbon dioxide molecule however as a linear structure and each oxygen atom is bonded by double bonds. These double bonds are not as strong as the Si - O bonds in silica so will not form a chain structure.

Use the following half-reactions to write three spontaneous reactions, calculate E°cell for each reaction, and rank the oxidizin

Ainat [17]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

we know that

half cell with higher reduction potential is cathode

cathode :

N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20

anode :

Cr(s) ---> Cr+3 + 3e-

overall reaction is

3 N20 + 6H+ + 2 Cr ---> 3N2 + 3H20 + 2Cr+3

now

Eo cell = Eo cathode - Eo anode

EO cell = 1.77 + 0.74

Eo cell = 2.51 V

now

in this case

oxidizing agents are N20 and Cr+3

reducing agents are Cr and N2

higher the reduction potential , stronger the oxidizing agent

lower the reduction potential , stronger the reducing agent

oxidzing agents

N20 > Cr+3

reducing agents

Cr > N2

cathode :

Au+ + e- --> Au

anode :

Cr ---> Cr+3 + 3e-

overall reaction

3Au+ + Cr ---> 3Au + Cr+3

Eo cell = 1.69 + 0.74

Eo cell = 2.43

now

oxidizing agents :

Au+ > Cr+3

reducing agents :

Cr > Au

cathode :

N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20

andoe :

Au ---> Au+ + e-

overall

2 Au + N20 + 2H+ --> 2 Au+ + N2 + H20

Eo cell = 1.77 - 1.69

Eo cell = 0.08

oxidizing agents

N20 > Au+

reducing agents

Au > N2

What would be a simple way to prevent erosion

vladimir1956 [14]

There are many simple ways to prevent erosion. One of the simplest forms of preventing erosion is with vegetation and by establishing root systems that hold the soil together. You can also use geotextiles, fertilizers and also build retainer walls to keep the soil intact and prevent erosion.

Answer:

Explanation:

The best bet would just be to use filler questions, after all this is one of the least important parts.

Examples would be: Would blank melt ice faster because blank?
