Answer:

In chemistry, a radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron. With some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make radicals highly chemically reactive. Many radicals spontaneously dimerize. Most organic radicals have short lifetimes.

Problem PageQuestion Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume
IgorC [24]

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm  (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =273K=

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{1atm\times 3.16L}{0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 273K}=0.141moles

CH_4+4Cl_2\rightarrow 4HCl+CCl_4

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = \frac{1}{4}\times 0.141=0.0352 moles of carbon tetrachloride

volume of carbon tetrachloride =moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=0.0352mol\times 22.4L/mol=0.788L

Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

How is the energy divided up in the plant
Lerok [7]
When a crop of wheat grows, new organic matter is created by the process of photosynthesis, which converts light energy into energy stored in chemical bonds within plant tissue. ... New compounds and structures are synthesized, cells divide, and the plant grows in size over time

What is the charge on the phosphorus atom in the polyatomic ion: PO4-3
oee [108]

+5

Explanation:

  The given radical is                 PO₄³⁻

To solve this problem, we need to understand what oxidation number entails.

The extent of the oxidation of each atom is expressed by the oxidation number.

Here are some rules for assigning them:

  • Elements in an uncombined state or elements that combines with one another, their oxidation number is zero.
  • The charge on an ion is its oxidation number
  • In an neutral compound, algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms is zero.
  • In a radical, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of the ions is equal to the charge on them.

Oxygen is known to have an oxidation number of -2;

                       

                          PO₄³⁻

 P + 4(-2) = -3

 P -8 = -3

  P = -3 + 8 = +5

The charge on phosphorus is +5

A galvanic cell at a temperature of is powered by the following redox reaction: 2Cr3 + 3Ca Suppose the cell is prepared with in
stira [4]

Answer:

2.13 V

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the reaction his;

2Cr^3+(aq) + 3Ca(s) -----> 2Cr(s) + 3Ca^2+(aq)

Since this is a galvanic cell then E°cell must be positive. It implies that calcium will be the anode and chromium will be the cathode since calcium is ahead of chromium in the electrochemical series.

E°anode= -2.87 V

E°cathode= -0.74 V

E°cell= E°cathode -E°anode

E°cell= -0.74 -(-2.87)

E°cell = 2.13 V
