Answer:

Mutarotation refers to the change in the optical rotation or optical activity of a solution due to the change in the equilibrium of the two anomers. It depends upon the optical activity and ratio of the anomeric forms in the solution.

To measure the optical rotation of a given solution, a polarimeter can be used and thus the ratio of the anomeric forms can be calculated.

Tarnish on copper is the compound CuO. A tarnished copper plate is placed in an aluminum pan of boiling water. When enough salt

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Cu is cathode because of higher EP

Al3++3e−→Al E∘=−1.66 V anode

Cu2++2e−→Cu E∘=0.340 V cathode

Step 2: Balance both equations

2*(Al → Al3+-3e−) E∘=1.66 V

3*(Cu2++2e−→Cu) E∘=0.340 V

Step 3: The netto equation

2 Al + 3Cu2+ +6e- → 2Al3+ + 3Cu -6e-

2 Al + 3Cu2+ → 2Al3+ + 3Cu

Step 4: Calculate the standard cell potential

E∘cell = E∘cathode - E∘anode

E∘cell = E∘ Cu2+/Cu - E∘ Al3+/Al

E∘cell =0.340 V - (-1.66) = 2.00 V

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

How many atoms are in a sample of 1.83 moles of potassium (K) atoms? Please explain the conversions to me. Thank you!

IRINA_888 [86]

1 mole K ------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
1.83 moles K ------ ?? atoms

1.83 x (6.02x10²³) / 1 =

1.101x10²⁴ atoms of K

hope this helps!

Atomic radius increases as you move down a group of elements.

raketka [301]

Yes, the atomic radius increases as you move down a group of elements. this is true
going down leads to valence electrons that are further away from nucleus -> less electrostatic attraction -> less pull towards nuc. -> greater radius/volume taken

What is the difference between single, double, and triple covalent bonds? How many shared electrons are in each?

lana66690 [7]

Answer

A *single covalent bond* is formed by sharing one pair of valence electrons.They are less reactive comparatviely and have a high bond length

A *double covalent bond* is formed by sharing two pairs of valence electrons.They are moderately reactive and have moderate bond length.

A *triple covalent bond* is formed by sharing three pairs of valence electrons.They are highly reactive and have a low bond length.
