How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: C2H4 + O2 → H2O + CO2?
Answer:
CHO
Explanation:
Carbon = 41%, Hydrogen = 4.58%, oxygen = 54.6%
Step 1:
Divide through by their respective relative atomic masses
41/ 12, 4.58/1, 54.6/16
3.41 4.58 3.41
Step 2:
Divide by the lowest ratio:
3.41/3.41, 4.58/3.41, 3.41/3.41
1, 1, 1
Hence the empirical formula is CHO
A electrochemical reaction is said to be spontaneous, if
Answer 1:
Consider reaction: <span>Ni^2+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) ----> + Ni (s) + S (s)
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
</span>

Hence,

we know that,

and

Therefore,

= - 0.25 - (-0.47) = 0.22 v
Since,
is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous

Answer 2: Consider reaction: <span>Pb^2+ (aq) +H2 (g) ----> Pb (s) +2H^+ (aq)
</span>
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;

Hence,

we know that,

and

Therefore,

= - 0.126 - 0 = -0.126 v
Since,
is negative, hence cell reaction is non-spontaneous.....................................................................................................................
Answer 3:
Consider reaction: <span>2Ag^+ (aq) + Cr(s) ---> 2 Ag (s) +Cr^2+ (aq)
</span>
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;

Hence,

we know that,

and

Therefore,

= - 0.22 - (-0.913) = 0.693 v
Since,
is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous
Answer:
Cl^-<NO3^-<H2O<F^-<CN^-
Explanation:
When we talk about base strength we are referring to how easily a chemical specie accepts protons.
The greater the ability of a specie to accept H^+, the greater its base strength.
The order of increasing base strengths of the species listed are shown in the answer above.
