Answer:

0.193 M

Explanation:

We need to calculate the Zn²⁺ concentration at the cathode where reduction occurs which is the right side in the expression:

Zn2+(aq,0.100 M) ‖ Zn2+(aq,? M) | Zn(s)

Zn²⁺ (aq,?) + 2 e⁻   ⇒ Zn (s)

and oxidation will occur in the anode

Zn (s) ⇒ Zn²⁺ (aq, 0.100 M ) + 2 e⁻

and the overall reaction is

Zn²⁺ (aq,?) ⇒ Zn²⁺ (0.100 M )

The driving force is the difference in concentration and E the electromotive force will be given by

E = Eº - 0.0592/2 log [Zn²⁺ (0.100 M) / Zn²⁺ (M) ]

Plugging the value for E and knowing Eº is cero because we have the same electrodes, we have

17.0 x 10⁻³ = 0 - 0.0592 log 0.100/ X =

- 17.0 x 10⁻³ / 0.0592 = log 0.100 / X

- 0.287 = log (0.100 / X)

Taking inverse log to both sides of the equation

0.516 = 0.100 / X   ⇒ X = 0.100 / 0.516 = 0.193 M

Aluminum has a face-centered cubic unit cell. How many atoms of Al are present in each unit cell
Serjik [45]

Answer:4

Explanation:

As shown in the image attached, a face-centred cubic structure has 8 atoms at the corners and 6 face center atoms.

Each corner atom contributes to eight cell, so per unit cell 1/8 ×8 =1atom

Face center atoms contributes to two unit cells 1/2 × 6=3atoms

Total atoms =3+1=4atoms

Therefore the atoms in Al FCC per unit cell is 4

The law of the conservation of mass must be obeyed in a chemical reaction. what do the atoms do during a reaction that shows the
Rainbow [258]
A balanced equation is a prime example of the law of the conservation of mass as the number of atoms in the reactants is consistent with the number of atoms in the reactants meaning the amount of matter has not changed and no mass has been created or destroyed hence obeying the law.

21 Which process is used to determine the concentration of an acid?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

4) Titration

Explanation:

Titration is a common process used to determine the concentration of acids. It does this by adding a solution of base with a known concentration to the acid until it reaches neutralization.

Which is a true statement?
labwork [276]

Answer: B) Particles can be filtered from a suspension.

Explanation: Colloids are solutions with particle size intermediate between true solutions and suspensions. They exhibit tyndall effect that is scattering of light.

Suspensions have large sized particles which settle when left undisturbed for sometime and thus can be filtered off easily.

The particle size in colloids is less and hence they do not settle under the effect of gravity.

A solution can be homogeneous in which the composition is uniform or heterogeneous in which is the composition is not uniform.
