Answer:

The sun is heavier than all of the planets, thus having more gravity

Explanation:

Because the sun is heavier, it exerts more gravitational pull towards itself, thus keeping all of the planets in orbit.

Determine the free energy(ΔG) from the standard cell potential (Ecell0 ) for the reaction:2ClO2-(aq)+Cl2(g)→2ClO2(g)+ 2Cl-(aq)wh

Dima020 [189]

Answer: The $\Delta G^o$ for the given reaction is $-7.84\times 10^4J$

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction:

$2ClO_2^-(aq.)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ClO_2(g)+2Cl^-(aq.)$

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $ClO_2^-\rightarrow ClO_2+e^-;E^o_{ClO_2^-/ClO_2}=0.954V$ ( × 2)

Reduction half reaction: $Cl_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl(g);E^o_{Cl_2/2Cl^-}=1.36V$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=1.36-(0.954)=0.406V$

To calculate standard Gibbs free energy, we use the equation:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

Where,

n = number of electrons transferred = 2

F = Faradays constant = 96500 C

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard cell potential = 0.406 V

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times 0.406=-78358J=-7.84\times 10^4J$

Hence, the $\Delta G^o$ for the given reaction is $-7.84\times 10^4J$

18. What is the percent by mass sugar of a solution made by dissolving 12.45 grams of sugar in 100 grams of water?

Fantom [35]

The percent by mass sugar of a solution : 11.07%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of sugar = 12.45 g

mass of water = 100 g

Required

The percent by mass

Solution

Mass of solution :

$\tt mass~sugar+mass~water=12.45+100=112.45~g$

Percent mass of sugar :

$\tt \%mass=\dfrac{mass~sugar}{mass~solution}\times 100\%\\\\\%mass=\dfrac{12.45}{112.45}\times 100\%=11.07\%$

A space air is at a temperature of 75 oF, and the relative humidity (RH) is 45%. Using calculations, find: (a) the partial press

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

A) Partial Pressure of dry air = 13.32 KPa

Partial Pressure of water vapour = 1.332 KPa

B) Humidity ratio; X = 0.0691

C) V_p = 0.8384 m³/Kg

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Temperature = 75°F

Relative Humidity = 45%

Now,to calculate the partial pressure, we will use the relationship;

Relative Humidity = (Partial Pressure/Vapour Pressure) × 100%

Making partial pressure the subject;

Partial Pressure = Relative Humidity × Vapour Pressure/100%

From the first table attached, at temperature of 75°F, the vapor pressure is 29.6 × 10^(-3) bar = 29.6 KPa

Thus;

Partial Pressure of dry air = (45 × 29.6)/100

Partial Pressure of dry air = 13.32 KPa

From online values, vapour pressure of water vapour at 75°F = 2.96 KPa

Thus;

Partial Pressure of water vapour = (45 × 2.96)/100 = 1.332 KPa

B) humidity ratio of moist air is given as;

X = 0.62198 pw / (pa - pw)

where;

pw = partial pressure of the water vapor in moist air

pa = atmospheric pressure of the moist air

Thus;

X = (0.62198 × 1.332)/(13.32 - 1.332)

X = 0.0691

C) Formula for moist air specific volume is;

V_p = (1 + (xRw/Ra) × RaT/p

Where;

V_p is specific volume

T is temperature = 75°F = 297.039 K

p is barometric pressure which in this case is standard sea level pressure = 101.325 KPa

pw is partial pressure of the water vapor in moist air = 1.332 KPa

Rw is individual gas constant for water = 0.4614 KJ/Kg.K

Ra is individual gas constant for air = 0.2869 KJ/Kg.K

V_p = (1 + (0.0691 * 0.4614/0.2869)) × 0.286.9 * 297.039/101.325

V_p = 0.8384 m³/Kg

Water molecules have __________ than molecules of similar size, such as ammonia and methane, reflecting its capacity to absorb l

Flura [38]

Given what we know, the ability of water to absorb more heat than the other substances mentioned is a reflection of its high boiling point.

<h3>What do we mean by boiling point?</h3>

This is the temperature at which the substance boils, and subsequently evaporates. Having a higher boiling point means that the substance will be able to absorb much more heat than that of a substance with a lower boiling point.

Therefore, Water molecules have a higher boiling point than molecules of similar size, such as ammonia and methane, reflecting its capacity to absorb large amounts of heat.
