What we call "tin cans" are really iron cans coated with a thin layer of tin. The anode is a bar of tin and the cathode is the i

ron can. An electrical current is used to oxidize the Sn to Sn2+ in solution, which is reduced to produce a thin coating of Sn on the can.

Answer:

Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)

Explanation:

Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.

The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:

Sn (s)\rightarrow Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-

Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:

Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Fe (s)

The net equation is then:

Sn (s) + Fe^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)

However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:

Actual anode half-equation:

Fe (s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-

Actual cathode half-equation:

Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Sn (s)

Actual net reaction:

Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)

5. How many moles of NaCl will it take to make 3.0 L of<br> a 0.1 M solution?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

0.30 mole NaCl needed.

Explanation:

From the definition of solution molarity => Molarity = moles solute / Volume of Solution in Liters => Molarity = moles/Volume(L) => solve for moles =>

moles = Molarity X Volume(L) = (0.1M)(3.0L) = 0.30 mole NaCl needed.

A) Calculate the average density of the following object (assume it is a perfect sphere). SHOW ALL YOUR WORK (formulas used, num
-BARSIC- [3]

Answers:

A) 2040 kg/m³; B) 58 600 km

Explanation:

A) Density

V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3} = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi\times (\text{1150 km})^{3} = 6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}

\text{Density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} = \frac{1.3\times 10^{22} \text{ kg} }{6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}}\times (\frac{\text{1 km}}{\text{1000 m}})^{3} = \text{2040 kg/m}^{3}

<em>B) Radius</em>

\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{5.68\times 10^{26} \text{ kg} }{687 \text{ kg/m}^{3} }= 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}

V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3}

r^{3} = \frac{3V }{4 \pi }\

r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3V }{4 \pi } }

r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3\times 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}{4 \pi } }= \sqrt [3]{ 1.974 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}= 5.82 \times 10^{7} \text{ m}=\text{58 200 km}

A sample of carbon dioxide at RTP is 0.50 dm3. How many grams of carbon dioxide do we have?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

0.924 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of CO2 at RTP = 0.50 dm³

Mass of CO2 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of CO2 that occupied 0.50 dm³ at RTP (room temperature and pressure). This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of gas = 24 dm³ at RTP

Thus,

1 mole of CO2 occupies 24 dm³ at RTP.

Therefore, Xmol of CO2 will occupy 0.50 dm³ at RTP i.e

Xmol of CO2 = 0.5 /24

Xmol of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Thus, 0.021 mole of CO2 occupied 0.5 dm³ at RTP.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO2 as follow:

Mole of CO2 = 0.021 mole

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (2×16) = 13 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.021 = mass of CO2 /44

Cross multiply

Mass of CO2 = 0.021 × 44

Mass of CO2 = 0.924 g.
