First, we write the half equations for the reduction of the chemical species present:
Cu⁺² + 2e → Cu; E° = 0.34 V
Ni⁺² + 2e → Ni; E° = - 0.23 V
In order to determine the potential of the cell, we find the difference between the two values. For this:
E(cell) = 0.34 - (-0.23)
E(cell) = 0.57 V
The second option is correct. (The difference in values is due to different values in literature, and it is negligible)
Answer:
2.6 kJ
Explanation:
The formula for the amount of heat (q) absorbed by the water is
q = mCΔT
1. Calculate ΔT
ΔT = 23.5 °C - 22.1 °C = 1.4 °C
2. Calculate q
q₂ = mCΔT = 500 g × 4.184 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × 1.4 °C = 2900 J = 2.9 kJ
Answer:
pH =3.8
Explanation:
Lets call the monoprotic weak acid HA, the dissociation equilibria in water will be:
HA + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻ with Ka = [ H₃O⁺] x [A⁻]/ [HA]
The pH is the negative log of the H₃O⁺ concentration, we know the equilibrium constant, Ka and the original acid concentration. So we will need to find the [H₃O⁺] to solve this question.
In order to do that lets set up the ICE table helper which accounts for the species at equilibrium:
HA H₃O⁺ A⁻
Initial, M 0.40 0 0
Change , M -x +x +x
Equilibrium, M 0.40 - x x x
Lets express these concentrations in terms of the equilibrium constant:
Ka = x² / (0.40 - x )
Now the equilibrium constant is so small ( very little dissociation of HA ) that is safe to approximate 0.40 - x to 0.40,
7.3 x 10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.40 ⇒ x = √( 7.3 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.40 ) = 1.71 x 10⁻³
[H₃O⁺] = 1.71 x 10⁻³
Indeed 1.71 x 10⁻³ is small compared to 0.40 (0.4 %). To be a good approximation our value should be less or equal to 5 %.
pH = - log ( 1.71 x 10⁻³ ) = 3.8
Note: when the aprroximation is greater than 5 % we will need to solve the resulting quadratic equation.
Answer:
Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is-272.25°C
Explanation:
Conductor are those hard substances which allows path of electric current through them. And super conductors are those hard substances which have resistance against the flow of electric current through them.
As given, molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90 K.
Temperature in Kelvins can be converted in °C by relation:
T(°C)=273.15-T(K)
Molybdenum becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius.
T(°C)=273.15-0.90= -272.25 °C
Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is -272.25 °C
Answer:
Correct answer is b) convex mirror
Explanation:
A convex mirror, which bulges outward, reflects at a wider angle near its edges than at its center, creating a slightly distorted image that's smaller than actual size. Convex mirrors have many uses. The smaller size of the images means that you can see more with these surfaces, hence their use in safety mirrors.
