Answer:

The object at 50°C will have a higher kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. As you introduce more energy into the system (e.g. heat the object), the particles on average move faster because they have more kinetic energy.

In a blast furnace, elemental iron is produced from a mixture of coke (c), iron ore (fe3o4), and other reactants. an important r

jok3333 [9.3K]

Reaction sequence:

2c(s) + o2(g) -> 2co(g)

fe3o4(s) + 4co(g) -> 3fe(l) + 4co2(g)

According to first equation, 2 moles of carbon produce 2 moles of carbon monoxide. So 1 mole of carbon will produce 1 mol of carbon monoxide (the same number).

According to the second equation, 4 moles of carbon monoxide produce 3 moles of iron. We should make the cross multiplication with those numbers:

4 moles CO/3 moles iron = 1 mol CO/x

x = 1 mol CO*3 moles iron/4 moles CO = 0.75 moles of iron

A chunk of ice breaks off a glacier and falls 30.0 m before it hits the water. Assuming it falls freely (there is no air resista

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The ice chunk will take 2.47 seconds to hit the water.

Explanation:

Height from which ice chunk fell = h = 30.0 m

Initial velocity of the ice chunk = u = 0 m/s

Time taken by ice chunk to cover 30.0 m of height = t

Acceleration due to gravity = g $9.8m/s^2$

Using second equation of motion ;

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$30.0 m=0 m/s\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 m/s^2\times t^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{30.0m/s\times 2}{9.8 m/s^2}}2.47 s$

The ice chunk will take 2.47 seconds to hit the water.

An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation: Al(s) | Al3+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

a. Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell, because it's a nonspontaneous reaction.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

Explanation:

a. By the notation given, first is represented the oxidation reaction and then the reduction reaction, so they are:

Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. The standard potential of the cell (ΔE°) is the reduction potential of the oxidation less the reduction potential of the reduction. The reduction potentials are:

Al(s) = -1.66 V

Mg(s) = -2.375 V

ΔE° = -1.66 - (-2.375)

ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell.

A galvanic cell is spontaneous, so the cathode (reduction) has a higher E° than the cathode (oxidation). In this case, the oxidation reaction has a higher E°, so the reaction is nonspontaneous and it's necessary an external force to it happen, so it's an electrolytic cell.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

The number of electrons must be the same, so the oxidation reaction is multiplied by 2, and the reduction reaction by 3.
