Answer:

Explanation:

Aluminium is used in rechargeable battery.

Aluminium ions provide the energy by flowing from anode to the cathode.

When the battery is recharged these ions comes to the anode.

The one ion gives three electrons. Which means one Al⁺³ is equal to the three Li⁺ ions. So, three unit of charge giving by ions increase the energy storage capacity.

The rechargeable batteries with aluminium gives low cost and low flammability.

It is safe to use because of inertness of aluminium and also easy to use in ambient environment.

Aluminium also have high volume capacity than lithium which means energy storage per volume is greater.

Its charge discharge cycles are also greater.

The aluminum ion batteries are also smaller in size.

BH+ClO4- is a salt formed from the base B (Kb = 1.00e-4) and perchloric acid. It dissociates into BH+, a weak acid, and ClO4-, w

Len [333]

Answer:

The pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is 5.44

Explanation:

Given: The base dissociation constant: $K_{b}$ = 1 × 10⁻⁴, Concentration of salt: BH⁺ClO₄⁻ = 0.1 M

Also, water dissociation constant: $K_{w}$ = 1 × 10⁻¹⁴

The acid dissociation constant ( $K_{a}$ ) for the weak acid (BH⁺) can be calculated by the equation:

$K_{a}. K_{b} = K_{w}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{b}}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{1\times 10^{-14}}{1\times 10^{-4}} = 1\times 10^{-10}$

Now, the acid dissociation reaction for the weak acid (BH⁺) and the initial concentration and concentration at equilibrium is given as:

Reaction involved: BH⁺ + H₂O ⇌ B + H₃O+

Initial: 0.1 M x x

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.1 - x x x

The acid dissociation constant: $K_{a} = \frac{\left [B \right ] \left [H_{3}O^{+}\right ]}{\left [BH^{+} \right ]} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(0.1 - x)} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$

$\Rightarrow K_{a} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$

$\Rightarrow 1\times 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$

$As, x$

$\Rightarrow 0.1 - x = 0.1$

$\therefore 1\times 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 }$

$\Rightarrow x^{2} = (1\times 10^{-10})\times 0.1 = 1\times 10^{-11}$

$\Rightarrow x = \sqrt{1\times 10^{-11}} = 3.16 \times 10^{-6}$

Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ion: x = 3.6 × 10⁻⁶ M

Now, pH = - ㏒ [H⁺] = - ㏒ (3.6 × 10⁻⁶ M) = 5.44

Therefore, the pH of 0.1 M BH⁺ClO₄⁻ solution is 5.44

How does the emission spectrum support the idea of quantized energy levels

ryzh [129]

Explanation:

Different atoms absorb and emit specific wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation and nothing in between. These absorption and emission spectra are actually used to identify atoms of elements in a substance. This phenomenon is explained by Bohr's theory of quantized energy levels in an atom – called orbital levels. When an electron 'jumps' from a lower to higher orbital level, it absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation specific to the ‘jump’. Vice versa, when an electron 'jumps' to a lower orbital level is emits an equivalent and specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.

Significant digits are the number of digits that reflect the precision of a measurement or number.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Significant digits are numbers that helps to present the precision of measurements calculations.

Numbers that do not contribute to the precision of a reading should not be counted as significant.

There are rules of assigning significant numbers:

Leading or trailing zeros are insignificant and should only be counted as a place holder.
All non-zero digits are significant
Zeroes between non-zero digits are significant.
Leading zeros in a decimal are significant before the number.
All the numbers in a scientific notation are significant.
