Answer:

The answer to this is

The column of water in meters that can be supported by standard atmospheric pressure is 10.336 meters

Explanation:

To solve this we first list out the variables thus

Density of the water = 1.00 g/mL =1000 kg/m³

density of mercury  = 13.6 g/mL = 13600 kg/m³

Standard atmospheric pressure = 760 mmHg or 101.325 kilopascals

Therefore from the equation for denstity we have

Density = mass/volume

Pressure = Force/Area  and for  a column of water, pressure = Density × gravity×height

Therefore where standard atmospheric pressure = 760 mmHg we have for Standard tmospheric pressure= 13600 kg/m³ × 9.81 m/s² × 0.76 m = 101396.16 Pa

This value of pressure should be supported by the column of water as follows

Pressure = 101396.16 Pa =  kg/m³×9.81 m/s² ×h

∴  h = \frac{101396.16}{(1000)(9.81)} = 10.336 meters

The column of water in meters that can be supported by standard atmospheric pressure is 10.336 meters

One mole of acetyl chloride was mixed with one mole of dimethylamine. After the reaction is complete, what species can be found
fredd [130]

Answer:

N,N-dimethylacetamide is formed.

Explanation:

  • It is an example of a nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction. Here dimethylamine acts as a nucleophile.
  • In the first step, dimethyl amine gives nucleophilic addition reaction at carbonyl center of acetyl chloride.
  • In the second step, removal of Cl atoms occurs.
  • In the third step, deprotonation takes place from amino group to produce N,N-dimethylacetamide.
  • Full reaction mechanism has been shown below.

The cell potential of a redox reaction occurring in an electrochemical cell under any set of temperature and concentration condi
avanturin [10]

Answer : The actual cell potential of the cell is 0.47 V

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Q) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given redox reaction is :

Ni^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Ni(s)+Zn^{2+}(aq)

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction : Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction : Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q=\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

Q=\frac{(0.0141)}{(0.00104)}=13.6

The value of the reaction quotient, Q, for the cell is, 13.6

Now we have to calculate the actual cell potential of the cell.

Using Nernst equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{RT}{nF}\ln Q

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = 316 K

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2 mole

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.51 V

E_{cell} = actual cell potential of the cell = ?

Q = reaction quotient = 13.6

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=0.51-\frac{(8.314)\times (316)}{2\times 96500}\ln (13.6)

E_{cell}=0.47V

Therefore, the actual cell potential of the cell is 0.47 V
