From the reduction standard potentials;
The emf of Zinc = -0.76 V
and the emf of Aluminium = -1.66 V
In a galvanic cell the component with lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that it is added to the anode compartment.
Therefore. the voltage of a galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminium will be;
Voltage =Ered- Eoxd
= -0.76 - (-1.66)
= 0.9 V
A solid will start to melt when it reaches its melting point. For example the melting point of Helium is -272° Celsius and the melting point of Carbon is 3500° Celsius . Helium has the lowest melting point and carbon has the highest melting point in the periodic table.
Answer:
The acid must be a concentrated acid
Explanation:
Ethene is prepared in the laboratory by heating ethanol with excess concentrated tetraoxosulphate VI acid at 170°C . The reactionoccursc in two stages;
1) when the ethanol and sulphuric acid are mixed in a ratio of 1:2, ethyl hydrogentetraoxosulpate VI is formed
2) The compound formed in the first step is heated in the presence of excess concentrated sulphuric acid to give ethene and sulphuric acid.
The overall reaction can be perceived as the dehydration of ethanol. The gas produced (ethene) is usually passed through sodium hydroxide solution to remove any gaseous impurities present.
concentrated sulphuric acid is used in this process since it is a good dehydrating agent.
