Explain in your own words, why can’t we predict earthquakes?

There is currently no way to reliably predict when an earthquake will happen, its strength or length. Earthquakes can vary in their magnitude, the size of the earthquake at its source, and length, lasting from seconds to minutes.

Research has shown, that shaking of an earthquake displays a characteristic pattern. After the first tremors start, building up in intensity, a peak is reached, followed by a fading shaking. Large and small earthquakes start the same way, but there is no way to say when the peak, the maximal magnitude of the quake, is reached.

What is produced at each electrode in the electrolysis of agf(aq)?
Rzqust [24]
AgF consists of Ag+ and F- ions, which are fully dissociated in aqueous solution. When solving electrolysis problems, it is important to remember that water itself may also be a subject to electrolysis. Therefore, determining which species is oxidized and which species is reduced depends on selecting the processes that are the most energetically favorable. The most preferred reduction reaction will be  Ag+ + e- = Ag (Emf=0.7996 V) which will occur at the cathode, on the other hand, the most favorable oxidation reaction will be
2H2O = O2 +4H+ + 4e- (Emf = -1.3 V) that will occur at the anode. Thus, the product at the anode is oxygen gas and at the cathode electrode is silver metal.

A 3.452 g sample containing an unknown amount of a Ce(IV) salt is dissolved in 250.0-mL of 1 M H2SO4. A 25.00 mL aliquot is anal
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

1,812 wt%

Explanation:

The reactions for this titration are:

2Ce⁴⁺ + 3I⁻ → 2Ce³⁺ + I₃⁻

I₃⁻ + 2S₂O₃⁻ → 3I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻

The moles in the end point of S₂O₃⁻ are:

0,01302L×0,03428M Na₂S₂O₃ = 4,463x10⁻⁴ moles of S₂O₃⁻. As 2 moles of S₂O₃⁻ react with 1 mole of I₃⁻, the moles of I₃⁻ are:

4,463x10⁻⁴ moles of S₂O₃⁻×\frac{1molI_{3}^-}{2molS_{2}O_{3}^-} = 2,2315x10⁻⁴ moles of I₃⁻

As 2 moles of Ce⁴⁺ produce 1 mole of I₃⁻, the moles of Ce⁴⁺ are:

2,2315x10⁻⁴ moles of I₃⁻×\frac{2molCe^{4+}}{1molI_{3}^-} = 4,463x10⁻⁴ moles of Ce(IV). These moles are:

4,463x10⁻⁴ moles of Ce(IV)×\frac{140,116g}{1mol} = <em>0,0625 g of Ce(IV)</em>

As the sample has a 3,452g, the weight percent is:

0,0625g of Ce(IV) / 3,452g × 100 = <em>1,812 wt%</em>

I hope it helps!
