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.

In a Dam, If we doubled the depth of the dam the hydrostatic force will be ?
AnnZ [28]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Force acting on a dam is as follows.

                  F = \frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega H^{2} .......... (1)

Now, when we double the depth then it means H is increasing 2 times and then the above relation will be as follows.

                F' = \frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega (2)^{2}

               F' = \frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega 4 ........... (2)

Now, dividing equation (1) by equation (2) as follows.

          \frac{F}{F'} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega H^{2}}{\frac{1}{2}\rho g\omega 4}  

Cancelling the common terms we get the following.

                 \frac{F}{F'} = \frac{1}{4}    

                   4F = F'

Thus, we can conclude that if doubled the depth of the dam the hydrostatic force will be 4F.

^{16}_{\phantom{1}8}\text{O}.

Oxygen-16 is the atom in question.

  • Atomic number: 8.
  • Mass number: 16.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

The superscript of the ion says "2-". That means that the ion here carries a charge of -2.

  • The charge is negative, meaning that there are more electrons (which are negative) than protons (which are positive) in that ion.
  • The size of the charge is 2. There are two more electrons than protons in that ion.

There are 10 electrons in total in that ion. There are two more electrons than protons. That means that there are 10 - 2 = 8 protons in that ion.

The atomic number of an atom is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of X is 8.

The atomic number determines the element. Atomic number 8 is oxygen. Thus element X is oxygen.

Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons in an atom. 8 + 8 = 16 for this atom.

Chemistry help!!
Scrat [10]

The student originally has 252 grams of water in this experiment.

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS:

  • The law of conservation of mass explains that matter (mass) can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.

  • This means that in a chemical reaction, the sum of the masses of the reactants must equate to the total mass of product(s).

  • According to this question, a student conducts an experiment to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. The student collects 28.0 g of hydrogen and 224.0 g of oxygen.

  • Since hydrogen and oxygen are the constituent elements of water, the sum of their masses must equate the mass of water.

  • Therefore, 224g of oxygen + 28g of hydrogen = 252g of water.
