Answer: Na or Ca?

Explanation:

Answer:

Calcium will be the anode and sodium will be the cathode

Explanation:

I know that your confusion stems from the relative positions of the two metals in the activity series but I want you to get something clearly. Sodium metal is more reactive than calcium metal but calcium ion is more reactive (a better reducing agent) than the sodium ion.

Hence, in an electrochemical cell, a better reducing agent will function as the anode. This is why calcium is the anode in the cell mentioned in the question. Calcium ion has a reduction potential of -2.87 V while sodium ion has a reduction potential of -2.71 V, hence the answer.

adell [148]
Answer is: both reactions are exothermic.

<span>In exothermic reactions, heat is released and enthalpy of reaction is less than zero (as it show second chemical reaction).
According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is <span>exothermic heat is included as a product (as it show first chemical reaction).</span></span>

How many moles of ammonia can be formed from 4.0 mol H2
Bess [88]

Answer: 1. 2.7 moles  of ammonia are formed

2. 12.0 moles  of hydrogen are required

3. 2.0 moles of nitrogen are required

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

According to stoichiometry:

3 moles of hydrogen form = 2 moles of ammonia

Thus 4.0 moles of hydrogen form =\frac{2}{3}\times 4.0=2.7moles of ammonia

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of ammonia are formed by = 3 moles of hydrogen

Thus 8.0 moles of ammonia are formed by  =\frac{3}{2}\times 8.0=12.0moles of hydrogen

According to stoichiometry:

3 moles of hydrogen react with = 1 mole of nitrogen

Thus 6.0 moles of hydrogen react with =\frac{1}{3}\times 6.0=2.0moles of nitrogen

If you are given the molarity of a solution, what additional information would you need to find the weight/weight percent (w/w%)
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.

- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since molarity is mathematically defined as the moles of solute divided by the volume of solution and the weight/weight percent as the mass of solute divided by the mass of solution, we need:

- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.

- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.

For instance, if a 1-M solution of HCl has a density of 1.125 g/mL, we can compute the w/w% as follows:

w/w\%=1\frac{molHCl}{L\ sln}*\frac{36.45gHCl}{1molHCl}*\frac{1L\ sln}{1000mL\ sln}*\frac{1mL\ sln}{1.125g\ sln}    *100\%\\\\w/w\%=3.15\%

Whereas the first factor corresponds to the molar mass of HCl, the second one the conversion from L to mL of solution and the third one the density to express in terms of grams of solution.

Regards.
