Why is argon used in a light bulb? using the terms of the electronic structure of an argon atom.
AVprozaik [17]
 The property of a filament of argon which lasts for a long time than air because argon is inert and will not oxidize the filament even at high temperatures is the key reason why argon is used in light bulbs compared to air which reacts quickly in  the atmosphere.

Given the problem below, what would the first step be in solving it?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

First step would be convert to moles

Final Answer: 37.8 g of NaCl

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCI

We convert the mass of each reactant to moles:

18 g . 1mol /23g = 0.783 moles of Na

23g . 1mol / 70.9g = 0.324 moles of chlorine

We use the mole ratio to determine the limiting reactant:

Ratio is 2:1. 2 moles of Na react to 1 mol of chlorine

Then, 0.783 moles of Na, may react to (0.783 . 1)/2 = 0.391 moles.

Excellent!. We need 0.391 moles of Cl₂ and we only have 0.324 moles available. That's why the Cl₂ is our limiting reactant.

We use the mole ratio again, with the product side. (1:2)

1 mol of Cl₂ can produce 2 moles of NaCl

Then, our 0.324 moles of gas, may produce (0.324 . 2)/1 = 0.648 moles

Finally, we convert the moles to grams:

0.648 mol . 58.45g/mol =

Sesh wants to create a device to transmit an electrical current. He has the following materials: pure water (H2O), brass (Cu3Zn2
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Use the brass foil to carry the current, because metals conduct electricity well in the solid state.


Dissolve the calcium chloride in water, because ionic compounds conduct electricity well when dissolved.


Pure water, sugar, or methane are not useful because they are covalent compounds and do not conduct an electric current.

Question 5 options: The cell potential for an electrochemical cell with a Zn, Zn2 half-cell and an Al, Al3 half-cell is _____ V.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The voltage is  E_{cell} =  0.944 \ V

Explanation:

Generally the half reaction for Zn, Zn2 half-cell is mathematically represented as

    Zn_{(s)}   ⇔   Zn^{2+}_{ (aq)} + 2e^-    (reference study academy)

and the electric potential for this is a constant value

     E_{zn } =  -0.7618 \ V

Generally the half reaction for Al, Al3 half-cell is mathematically represented as

      Al^{3+}  _{(aq)} + 3e^-  ⇔  Al_{(s)}

and the electric potential for this is constant value  

       E_{Al  } =  -1.662 \ V

Therefore the cell potential for an electrochemical cell  is mathematically represented as

          E_{cell} =  E_{zn }  -  E_{Al }

substituting values

         E_{cell} =  -0.718  - (-1.662)

        E_{cell} =  0.944 \ V
