Answer:

d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au; 1.50 V

Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V

Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V

Na⁺ + e⁻ ⟶ Na; -2.71 V

A more positive voltage means that there is a stronger driving force for the reaction.

Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.

Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons, so

Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.

A gas used to extinguish fires is composed of 75 % CO2 and 25 % N2. It is stored in a 5 m3 tank at 300 kPa and 25 °C. What is th

Answer : The partial pressure of the $CO_2$ in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.

Explanation :

As we are given 75 % $CO_2$ and 25 % $N_2$ in terms of volume.

First we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2$ and $N_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Volume of }CO_2}{\text{Volume at STP}}=\frac{75}{22.4}=3.35mole$

$\text{Moles of }N_2=\frac{\text{Volume of }N_2}{\text{Volume at STP}}=\frac{25}{22.4}=1.12mole$

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of $CO_2$ .

$\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }CO_2}{\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }N_2}$

$\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{3.35}{3.35+1.12}=0.75$

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of the $CO_2$ gas.

$\text{Partial pressure of }CO_2=\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2\times \text{Total pressure of gas}$

$\text{Partial pressure of }CO_2=0.75mole\times 300Kpa=225Kpa=225Kpa\times \frac{0.145\text{ psia}}{1Kpa}=32.625\text{ psia}$

conversion used : (1 Kpa = 0.145 psia)

Therefore, the partial pressure of the $CO_2$ in the tank in psia is, 32.6 psia.

I don’t understand this question

zhannawk [14.2K]

Since they both have the same momentum, the object with the larger mass has a small velocity. (Remember that mass and velocity are inversely proportional with
p=mv.) Therefore, the smaller object will have the larger KE. (KE = 1/2 ^2)
