The solution to the problem is as follows:

 <span>a) 

C + O2 = CO2 

Molar mass CO2 = 44 g/mol 

3.67 g CO2 * 1 mol / 44 g = 

=0.0834 mol CO2 = 0.0834 mol C 

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of zinc in a 1.0 M zinc ion solution and another electrode composed
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The E°cell for the galvanic cell is 1.56 V.

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is a device that uses redox reactions to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The chemical reaction used is always spontaneous.

Oxide-reduction reactions, also called redox, involve the transfer or transfer of electrons between two or more chemical species. In these reactions two substances interact: the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.

The gain of electrons is called reduction and the loss of electrons oxidation. That is to say, there is oxidation whenever an atom or group of atoms loses electrons (or increases its positive charges) and in the reduction an atom or group of atoms gains electrons, increasing its negative charges or decreasing the positive ones.

The species that supplies electrons is the reducing agent (that is, it is that species that oxidizes, yielding electrons and increasing its positive charge, or decreasing the negative one causing the reduction of the other species) and the one that gains them is the oxidizing agent ( that is, it is that species that is reduced, capturing electrons and increasing its negative charge, or decreasing its positive charge, causing oxidation of the other species).

The galvanic cell works as follows: In the anodic half-cell oxidations occur, while in the cathodic half-cell reductions occur. The anode electrode, conducts the electrons that are released in the oxidation reaction, to the metallic conductors. These electrical conductors conduct the electrons and carry them to the cathode electrode; the electrons thus enter the cathode half-cell and the reduction takes place in it.

To determine the oxidizing and reducing agent you must first know the reduction potentials. For this you consult the list of standard reduction potentials. In this list you can see that the semi-reactions that occur with their corresponding potentials are:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag E°= 0.80 V

Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Zn E° -0.76 V

The species that has the greatest potential for reduction will be the species that will be reduced, that is, it will be the oxidizing agent. In this case, it will be the experience corresponding to silver (Ag). Therefore, to obtain the redox reaction, the half-reaction corresponding to zinc (Zn) must be reversed to be an oxidation, keeping its E ° value constant. Then:

Reduction: Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag E°= 0.80 V

Oxidation: Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻ E° -0.76 V

So: <em>E°cell=Ereduction - Eoxidation</em>

Or what is the same<em> E°cell=Ecathode - Eanode </em>because the reduction always occurs in the cathode and oxidation in the anode.

E°cell=0.80 V - (-0.76) V

<em>E°cell= 1.56 V</em>

Then <u><em>the E°cell for the galvanic cell is 1.56 V.</em></u>

A chemist takes 50-gram sample of sulfur powder that has a melting point of 115.2 °C. What is the melting point of a 100-gram sa
JulijaS [17]
I would say that B is the correct answer which means that the melting point would be intensive or that no matter how large or small the sample of the sulphur is, it will have a consistent melting temperature or of 115.2 degrees C.

One of the commercial uses of sulfuric acid is the production of calcium sulfate and phosphoric acid. If 26.8 g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ rea
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The percent yield reaction is 64.3%

Explanation:

This is the ballanced reaction

Ca₃(PO₄)₂ (s) + 3H₂SO₄ (aq) → 2H₃PO₄ (aq) + 3CaSO₄ (aq)

Let's determine the moles of our reactants:

Mass / Molar mass = Mol

26.8 g / 310.18 g/m = 0.0864 moles of phosphate.

54.3 g / 98.06 g/m = 0.554 moles of sulfuric

1 mol of phosphate reacts with 3 mol of sulfuric so

0.0864 mol of PO₄⁻³ will react with (0.0864 .3)/1 = 0.259 moles

I have 0.554 of sulfuric, so this is the reactant in excess.

The limiting reagent is the Phosphate.

1 mol of PO₄⁻³ produces 2 mol of phosphoric

0.0864 of PO₄⁻³ will produce the double amount (0.0864 .2) = 0.173 moles

Mol . molar mass = Mass

0.173 m . 97.98g/m = 16.95 g (This is the theoretical yield)

Percent yield = (Produced / Theoretical) .100

(10.9 g / 16.95 g) . 100 = 64.3 %

In the chemical equation: NO(g) + ½Cl2(g) → NOCl(g) How many moles of NOCl(g) are in the balanced chemical equation? fill in bla
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

The numbers in front of the formulas (the coefficients) tell you how many moles of a substance are involved in a reaction.

If no coefficient is shown, we assume it is 1.

NOCl has no coefficient, so 1 mol of NOCl is in the balanced equation.

What are the two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle?
Sergeu [11.5K]
The two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle are by counting the number of pails of sand used to build the castle and by determining the mass of the sand used in building the castle. The first method makes use of the volume of the pail to determine the amount of sand while the second method is a more quantitative way.<span />
