<u>Answer:</u> Yes, this is an example of an organic compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An organic compound is defined as the compound which is found in living organisms.

These compounds mainly consists of carbon atoms which are covalently bonded to hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms.

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula $C_{57}H_{110}O_6$

In the given compound, carbon is covalently bonded to hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Thus, it is an organic compound. The chemical name for the compound is tristearin.

Therefore, yes, this is an example of an organic compound.

A molecule with the chemical formula C57H110O6 is an example of a triglyceride. This molecule is named as stearin or glyceryl tristearate. It is classified as a triglyceride formed from three molecules of stearic acid. Triglycerides are esters that are made from glycerol and three units of a specific fatty acid.

ANEK [815]

The negative ion reactions that consist of the formation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is generally an exothermic reaction. By definition, an exothermic reaction takes place when the chemical process eventually releases heat as its by-product. It is in contrast in endothermic process wherein heat is absorbed.

What is oxidized in a galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes ?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Aluminum metal

Explanation:

In order to properly answer this or a similar question, we need to know some basic rules about galvanic cells and standard reduction potentials.

First of all, your strategy would be to find a trusted source or the table of standard reduction potentials. You would then need to find the half-equations for aluminum and gold reduction:

$Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al; E^o=-1.66 V$

$Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Since we have a galvanic cell, the overall reaction is spontaneous. A spontaneous reaction indicates that the overall cell potential should be positive.

Since one half-equation should be an oxidation reaction (oxidation is loss of electrons) and one should be a reduction reaction (reduction is gain of electrons), one of these should be reversed.

Thinking simply, if the overall cell potential would be obtained by adding the two potentials, in order to acquite a positive number in the sum of potentials, we may only reverse the half-equation of aluminum (this would change the sign of E to positive): $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-; E^o=1.66 V\\Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Notice that the overall cell potential upon summing is:

$E_{cell}=1.66 V + 1.50 V=3.16 V$

Meaning we obey the law of galvanic cells.

Since oxidation is loss of electrons, notice that the loss of electrons takes place in the half-equation of aluminum: solid aluminum electrode loses 3 electrons to become aluminum cation.
