Ni-cad (nickel–cadmium) batteries have a slightly lower cell potential than the common alkaline value of 1.5 v normally used in

flashlights. they have a cadmium anode, which is oxidized to cd(oh)2(s) in a basic background electrolyte of concentrated oh–, and a cathode half-reaction in which nio(oh)(s) is reduced to ni(oh)2(s). what is the value of δg°cell?

The half-reaction are:

Cd ---> Cd(OH)₂
The oxidation number of Cd changed from 0 to +2. So, the number of mol electron transferred here is 2.

NiO(OH) --> Ni(OH)₂
The oxidation number of Cd changed from +3 to +2. So, the number of mol electron transferred here is 1.

Now, the greatest common factor would be 2. So, we use n=2 for the formula for ΔG°. F is Faraday's constant equal to 96,485 J/mol e.

ΔG° = nFE° = (2)(96,485)(1.5) =<em> 289,455 J</em>

If you combine 27.1 g of a solute that has a molar mass of 27.1 g/mol with 100.0 g of a solvent, what is the molality of the res
baherus [9]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of the solution is 0.1 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}

Where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute = 27.1 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute = 27.1 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent = 100 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{27.1\times 1000}{27.1\times 100}\\\\\text{Molality of solution}=0.1m

Hence, the molality of the solution is 0.1 m.

3. What is the energy of a photon whose frequency is 5.2 x 1015 Hz? Use the equation: E = hxv
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

3. 3.45×10¯¹⁸ J.

4. 1.25×10¹⁵ Hz.

Explanation:

3. Determination of the energy of the photon.

Frequency (v) = 5.2×10¹⁵ Hz

Planck's constant (h) = 6.626×10¯³⁴ Js

Energy (E) =?

The energy of the photon can be obtained by using the following formula:

E = hv

E = 6.626×10¯³⁴ × 5.2×10¹⁵

E = 3.45×10¯¹⁸ J

Thus, the energy of the photon is 3.45×10¯¹⁸ J

4. Determination of the frequency of the radiation.

Wavelength (λ) = 2.4×10¯⁵ cm

Velocity (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency (v) =?

Next, we shall convert 2.4×10¯⁵ cm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

2.4×10¯⁵ cm = 2.4×10¯⁵ cm × 1 m /100 cm

2.4×10¯⁵ cm = 2.4×10¯⁷ m

Thus, 2.4×10¯⁵ cm is equivalent to 2.4×10¯⁷ m

Finally, we shall determine the frequency of the radiation by using the following formula as illustrated below:

Wavelength (λ) = 2.4×10¯⁷ m

Velocity (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency (v) =?

v = c / λ

v = 3×10⁸ / 2.4×10¯⁷

v = 1.25×10¹⁵ Hz

Thus, the frequency of the radiation is 1.25×10¹⁵ Hz.

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
DedPeter [7]

Answer: X is a Solid; Y is a Gas

Explanation:

There are three (3) states of matter. They are: Solid, Liquid and Gases.

Substance X and Y, belong to the states of matter.

A Solid is a substance that retains its SIZE and SHAPE without need of a container (as opposed to a liquid or gas).

Thus, it will most likely be concluded that: substance X is a Solid; while Y is a Gas

A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 8.10kg of water at 33.9 degree
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The new temperature of the water bath 32.0°C.

Explanation:

Mass of water in water bath ,m= 8.10 kg = 8100 g ( 1kg = 1000g)

Initial temperature of the water = T_1=33.9^oC=33.9+273K=306.9 K

Final temperature of the water = T_2

Specific heat capacity of water under these conditions =  c = 4.18 J/gK

Amount of energy lost by water = -Q = -69.0 kJ = -69.0 × 1000 J

( 1kJ=1000 J)

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

-69.0\times 1000 J=8100 g\times 4.18 J/g K\times (T_2-306.9 K)

-69,000.0 J=8100 g\times 4.18 J/g K\times (T_2-306.9 K)

T_2=304.86 K=304.86 -273^oC=31.86^oC\approx 32.0^oC

The new temperature of the water bath 32.0°C.
