Answer:

The best reducing agent is Zn(s)

Explanation:

A <em>reducing agent </em>must to be able to reduce another compound, by oxidizing itself. Consequently, the oxidation potential must be high. The oxidation potential of a compound is the reduction potential of the same compound  with the opposite charge. Given the reduction potentials, the best reducing agent will be the compound with the most negative reduction potential. Among the following reduction potentials:

Cd₂⁺(aq)|Cd(s) ⇒ -0.40 V

Zn²⁺(aq)|Zn(s) ⇒ -0.76 V

Ni²⁺(aq)|Ni(s) ⇒‑0.25 V

Cu²⁺(aq)|Cu(s) ⇒ +0.34 V

Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s) ⇒ +0.80 V

The most negative is Zn²⁺(aq)|Zn(s) ⇒ -0.76 V

From this, the most reducing agent is Zn. Zn(s) is oxidized to Zn²⁺ ions with the highest oxidation potential (0.76 V).

What is the specific heat capacity of silver metal if 55.00 g of the metal absorbs 193.9J of heat and the temperature rises 15.0
skad [1K]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.24 j/g.°C.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 55.00 g

increase of temperature ΔT= 15.0 °C

Heat absorbed = 193.9 J

Specific heat capacity of silver = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance.

ΔT = change in temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

193.9 J = 55.00 g × c ×15.0 °C

193.9 J = 825 g.°C  × c

c = 193.9 J / 825  g.°C

c= 0.24 /g.°C

The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.24 j/g.°C.

Draw a Lewis structure for C2H3Cl . Include all hydrogen atoms and show all unshared electron pairs. None of the atoms bears a f
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since C2H3Cl is an organic compound we need a central C-C parent chain to which the three hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom provides the electrons to get all the octets except for H as given on the statement.

In such a way, on the attached picture you can find the required Lewis dot structure without formal charges and with all the unshared electron pairs, considering there is a double bond binding the central carbon atoms in order to compete their octets.

Best regards!
