I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The statement that is true about the atmospheric pressure near Earth’s surface would be that it decreases as you move away from Earth’s surface. Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. Hope this answers the question.

Answer : Option B) It decreases as someone moves away from earth's surface.

Explanation : The atmospheric pressure at the surface of the earth is at maximum, it is seen that as we move away from the surface of the earth the pressure decreases. As on the top of mountains the atmospheric pressure is found to be low as compared to the surface of the earth.

It is assumed that the atmospheric pressure is caused due to hydrostatic measurements where the changes caused by weight of air are measured.

Also, it is observed that when there is an elevation, the atmospheric pressure decreases.

Calculate the standard reaction Gibbs free energy for the following cell reactions: (a) 2 Ce41(aq) 1 3 I2(aq) S 2 Ce31(aq) 1 I32

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

For a: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

Explanation:

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$ ............(1)

For a:

The given chemical equation follows:

$2Ce^{4+}(aq.)+3I^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ce^{3+}(aq.)+I_3^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Ce^{4+}(aq.)\rightarrow Ce^{3+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 2)

Reduction half reaction: $3I^_(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow I_3^-(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=2\\E^o_{cell}=+1.08V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times (+1.80)=-347,400J=-347.4kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b:

The given chemical equation follows:

$6Fe^{3+}(aq.)+2Cr^{3+}+7H_2O(l)(aq.)\rightarrow 6Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 6)

Reduction half reaction: $2Cr^{2+}(aq.)+7H_2O(l)+6e^-\rightarrow Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=6\\E^o_{cell}=-1.29V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-6\times 96500\times (-1.29)=746,910J=746.91kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

Which element is reduced in this reaction? cr2o72−+3hno2+5h+→2cr3++3no3−+4h2o enter the chemical symbol of the element?

Ksju [112]

A reducing agent loses electrons, so on the left side of the equation N in HNO2 has an oxidation number of +3 and on the right side in NO3^- it has an oxidation number of +5, so it has lost electrons. Thus, the reducing agent would be HNO2.

You are given 25.00 mL of an acetic acid solution of unknown concentration. You find it requires 35.75 mL of a 0.2750 M NaOH sol

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

a. 0.393M CH₃COOH.

b. 2.360% of acetic acid in the solution

Explanation:

The reaction of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) with NaOH is:

CH₃COOH + NaOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

That means 1 mole of acid reacts per mole of NaOH.

Moles of NaOH to reach the equivalence point are:

35.75mL = 0.03575L × (0.2750mol / L) = 9.831x10⁻³ moles of NaOH

As 1 mole of acid reacts per mole of NaOH, moles of CH₃COOH in the acid solution are 9.831x10⁻³ moles.

a. As the volume of the acetic acid solution is 25.00mL = 0.02500L, the molarity of the solution is:

9.831x10⁻³ moles / 0.02500L =

b. Molar mass of acetic acid is 60g/mol. The mass of 9.831x10⁻³ moles is:

9.831x10⁻³ moles ₓ (60g / mol) = 0.590g of CH₃COOH.

As volume of the solution is 25.00mL, the percentage of acetic acid is:

(0.590g CH₃COOH / 25.00mL) ₓ 100 =

<h3>2.360% of acetic acid in the solution</h3>

The term sink refers to _____.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The term sink refers to a location of carbon dioxide storage.

Thus option B is correct answer.

Explanation:

The term sink refers to a location of carbon dioxide storage. in carbon cycle where the carbon dioxide stored in the cycle that is called the sink.

in other words sink is also defined as the location of carbon products storage such as coal fossil fuel gases inside the earth is also known as the sink.

Thus sink behaves like the reservoir which stores carbon dioxide in the form of coal gases etc.

Thus option B is correct answer.
