A particular voltaic cell operates with the reaction: Zn(s)+Cl2(g)--->Zn^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq) giving a cell potential of .853 V.

Calculate the amount of energy liberated from the cell when 20.0g of zinc metal is consumed?

Answer:

The amount of energy liberated will be 49.38 J.

Explanation:

The amount of energy liberated (gibbs free energy) can be calculated using the following equation:

ΔG° = -nFε

n: amount of moles of electrons transfered

F: Faraday's constant

ε: cell potential

20.0 g of Zn is equal to 0.30 mol.

Two electrons are transfered during the reaction.

Therefore, n = 2x0.30 ∴ n = 0.60

ΔG° = - 0.60 x 96.485 x 0.853

ΔG° = 49.38 J

12 g of powdered magnesium oxide reacts with nitric acid to
galben [10]

Answer:

80.8 g

Explanation:

First, let's write a balanced equation of this reaction

MgO + 2HNO₃ → Mg(NO₃)₂ + H₂O

Now let's convert grams to moles

We gotta find the weight of MgO

24 + 16 = 40 g/mol

12/40 = 0.3 moles of MgO

We can use this to find out how much Magnesium Nitrate will be formed

0.3 x 1 MgO / 1 Mg(NO₃)₂ = 0.3 moles of Magnesium Nitrate formed

Convert moles to grams

Find the weight of Mg(NO₃)₂ but don't forget that 2 subscript acts as a multiplier of whatever is inside that parenthesis.

24 + 14 x 2 + 16 x 3 x 2 = 148 g/mol

148 x 0.3 = 80.8 g

Provide three different examples of how minerals can form on earth
Misha Larkins [42]
A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS.Thank you so much!
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: The coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+} + Cl_{2}

Now, the two half-reactions can be written as follows.

Reduction half-reaction: Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

This will be balanced as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 7H_{2}O ... (1)

Oxidation half-reaction: Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cl_{2} + 1e^{-}

This will be balanced as follows.

6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 3Cl_{2} + 6e^{-} ... (2)

Adding both equation (1) and (2) we will get the resulting equation as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 3Cl_{2} + 7H_{2}O

Thus, we can conclude that coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.

If a neutral atom has 24 electrons and 26 neutrons how many protons does it have?​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

24

Explanation:

The number of protons in the atom of the neutral element will also be 24.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges at all

Now, in a neutral atom, the charge is balanced and the number of protons and electrons are the same in the atom.

So, since we have been given that the atom has 24 electrons, the number of protons will be 24.
