A student constructs a galvanic cell that has a strip of iron metal immersed in a solution of 0.1M Fe(NO3)2 as one half-cell and

a strip of aluminum metal immersed in a solution of 0.1M Al(NO3)3 as the other half-cell. The measured cell potential is less than zero when the positive terminal of the voltmeter is attached to the aluminum strip and the negative terminal is attached to the iron strip. Which half-cell is the anode (Fe or Al)?

Answer:

Fe

Explanation:

The cell potential is:

ΔE°cell = E°red(red) - E°red(oxid)

Where, E°red(red) is the reduction potential of the substance that is reducing, and E°red(oxid) is the reduction potential of the substance that is oxidizing. For the reaction be spontaneous and happen, ΔE°cell > 0.

The reduction takes place in the cathode, which is the negative pole, and the oxidation in the anode, which is the positive pole. So, the electrons flow from the positive pole to the negative pole (anode to cathode).

Then, if the voltmeter measured a negative potential, it means that is was attached incorrectly. So, the anode is Fe.

3690 J of heat are added to a 21.5 g sample
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

693K

Explanation:

The enthalpy change in the iron is 3690J

We now apply the formula for enthalpy change which is ΔH=mC∅ where ∅ is the temperature change, m the mass of the substance, and C the specific heat capacity for the substance.

ΔH in this case is 3690J.

Therefore 3690J=21.5g×0.449J/g.K×∅

as we are looking for ∅, we make it the subject of the formula.

∅=3690J/(21.5g×0.44J/g)

∅=390

Temperature=30°C +390

=420°+273

=693K

0.200 grams of HCl is dissolved in 0.801 grams water. The density of the solution formed is 1.10 g/mL. What is the molarity of t
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

M=6.03M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the molarity is computed by:

M=\frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}}

Whereas the solute is the hydrochloric acid, we compute the corresponding moles with its molar mass (36.45 g/mol):

n_{solute}=0.200gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.45gHCl} =0.00549molHCl

Next, since the solution contains both HCl and water, we compute the volume in liters by using its density:

V_{solution}=(0.200+0.801)g*\frac{1mL}{1.10g} *\frac{1L}{1000mL} =9.1x10^{-4}L

Therefore, the molarity turns out:

M=\frac{0.00549mol}{9.1x10^{-4}L}\\ \\M=6.03M

Regards.

The vapor pressure of ethanol is 400. mmhg at 63.5°c. its molar heat of vaporization is 39.3 kj/mol. what is the vapor pressure
Vilka [71]

Answer: -

100 mm Hg

Explanation: -

P 1 =400 mm Hg

T 1 = 63.5 C + 273 = 336.5 K

T 2 = 34.9 C + 273 = 307.9 K

ΔHvap = 39.3 KJ/mol = 39.3 x 10³ J mol⁻¹

R = 8.314 J ⁻¹K mol⁻¹

Now using the Clausius Clapeyron equation

ln (P1 / P2) = ΔHvap / R x (1 / T2 - 1 / T1)

Plugging in the values

ln (400 mm/ P₂) = (39.3 x 10³ J mol⁻¹ / 8.314 J ⁻¹K mol⁻¹) x (\frac{1}{307.9 K} - \frac{1}{336.5 K}

= 1.38

P₂ = 100 mm Hg

Even though the molecular formula of acetylene is C2H2, and that of benzene is C6H6, these compounds have the same percent compo
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

CH

Explanation:

The empirical formular is the simplest formular of a compound. It shows the relative number of elements present in a compounds. It shows the number of atoms of elements present in simple ratios.

In both compounds, the ratio of the carbon to hydrogen s 1:1

In C2H2;

C : H = 2 : 2 (Which is equivalent to 1 : 1)

In C6H6;

C : H = 6 : 6 (Which is equivalent to 1 : 1)

This means the empirical formular is CH
