I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. It is the salt bridge that balances charges that may build up as reduction and oxidation occur in a voltaic cell. The salt bridge is to <span>maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one half cell to the other.</span>

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a voltaic cell, salt bridge is used for connecting oxidation and reduction half cells.

The main purpose of using salt bridge in a voltaic cell is that it helps in maintaining electrical neutrality in the internal circuit occurring at anode and cathode of the cell.

Without salt bridge in a voltaic cell there will be imbalance of charges as a result solution in anode compartment will become positively charged whereas solution in cathode compartment will become negatively charged.

Thus, we can conclude that the salt bridge balances charges that may build up as reduction and oxidation occur in a voltaic cell.

A compound that is composed of molybdenum (Mo) and oxygen (O) was produced in a lab by heating molybdenum over a Bunsen burner.
irakobra [83]
First, we determine the mass of each element from the data collected. We can get the mass of molybdenum Mo from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum and the mass of crucible:
     Mass of molybdenum = 39.52 – 38.26 = 1.26 g Mo

We can calculate for the mass of molybdenum oxide from the difference between the mass of crucible and molybdenum oxide and the mass of crucible:
     Mass of molybdenum oxide = 39.84 – 38.26 = 1.58g 

We can now compute for the mass of oxygen O by subtracting the mass of molybdenum from the mass of molybdenum oxide:
     Mass of oxygen in molybdenum oxide = 1.58 – 1.26 = 0.32g O

To convert mass to moles, we use the molar mass of each element.
     1.26 g Mo * 1 mol Mo / 95.94 g Mo = 0.0131 mol Mo
     0.32 g O * 1 mol O / 15.999 g O = 0.0200 mol O

0.0131 mol is the smallest number of moles. We divide each mole value by this number:
     0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1
     0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.53

Multiplying these results by 2 to get the lowest whole number ratio,
     0.0131 mol Mo / 0.0131 = 1 * 2 = 2
     0.0200 mol O / 0.0131 = 1.5 * 2 = 3
Thus, we can write the empirical formula as Mo2O3.

In Denver, Colorado the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level. Explain what potential effects this may have on the solub
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The solubility of the gaseous solute decreases

Explanation:

As we know, pressure decreases with altitude. This means that, at higher altitudes, the pressure is much lower than it is at sea level.

The solubility of a gas increases with increase in pressure and decreases with decrease in pressure.

Hence, in Denver, Colorado where the elevation is about 5,280 feet above sea level, a gaseous solute is less soluble than it is at sea level due to the lower pressure at such high altitude.

Calculate the enthalpy of the reaction below (∆Hrxn, in kJ) using the bond energies provided. CO(g) + Cl₂(g) → Cl₂CO(g).
nalin [4]

The enthalpy change of the reaction below (ΔHr×n , in kJ) using the bond energies provided. CO(g) + Cl₂(g) → Cl₂CO(g). is - 108kJ.

The bond energies data is given as follows:

BE  for C≡O  = 1072 kJ/mol

BE for Cl-Cl = 242 kJ/mol

BE for C-Cl = 328 kJ/mol

BE for C=O = 766 kJ/mol

The enthalpy change for the reaction is given as :

ΔHr×n = ∑H reactant bond - ∑H product bond

ΔHr×n = ( BE C≡O + BE Cl-Cl) - ( BE C=O + BE 2 × Cl-Cl )

ΔHr×n = ( 1072 + 242 ) - ( 766 + 656 )

ΔHr×n = 1314 - 1422

ΔHr×n = - 108 kJ

Thus, The enthalpy change of the reaction below ( ΔHr×n , in kJ) using the bond energies provided. CO(g) + Cl₂(g) → Cl₂CO(g). is - 108kJ.
