<span>The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, </span><span>from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

The standard cell potential (E°cell) for the reaction below is +0.63 V. The cell potential for this reaction is ________ V when
tia_tia [17]

Answer : The cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Explanation :

The given cell reactions is:

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

The half-cell reactions are:

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

Reduction half reaction (cathode):  Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb

First we have to calculate the cell potential for this reaction.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

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

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.63 V

E_{cell} = cell potential for the reaction = ?

[Zn^{2+}] = 3.5 M

[Pb^{2+}] = 2.0\times 10^{-4}M

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

E_{cell}=(+0.63)-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{2\times 96500}\log \frac{3.5}{2.0\times 10^{-4}}

E_{cell}=0.50V

Therefore, the cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Can someone please explain the relationship between the group number, the number of valence electrons lost or gained, and the fo
soldi70 [24.7K]
<span>Ca has 2 valence electrons and F has 7, they would end up having to share electrons but Ca or F has to keep one because in total there are 9 valence elections and only 8 are needed to make this pair "happy". that's all i can provide. i hope it helped some</span>

What is the chemical formula of the salt produced by the neutralization of potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid?KSO3KSO4K(SO4)
kakasveta [241]

Answer: The salt produced will be K_{2}SO_{4}

Explanation:

During a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base for producing the correspondent salt, and water.

The strong acids release all the protons avalaible when are dissolved, such as sulfuric acid. As you can see, sulfuric acid have 2 protons ready for being released (H_{2}SO_{4}); and those places have to be occcupied for other ions equivalents to the H+: K+ from KOH in this case.

Therefore the answer will be K_{2}SO_{4}.

Matter is made up of heat energy and ___________energy?
ella [17]
You’re correct, matter is made up of heat energy and chemical energy

all matter contains heat because it is the result of the movement of atoms, molecules, or ions in solids, liquids, and gases.

all matter also contains chemical energy. chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds so atoms and molecules are held together by chemical energy

hope this helps :)

Evaluate the carbon dioxide molecule. Explain how to determine if double or triple bonds exist in the molecule.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

It contain double Bond.

Explanation:

To determine weather the bond is double or triple simply check the electron involved in mutual sharing of an electron if 2 electron takes parts it said to be double or if 3 it said to be triple.
