Explanation:
elements are based on electrical conductivity
Answer:
The half-cells separate the oxidation half-reaction from the reduction half-reaction and make it possible for current to flow through an external wire.
Explanation:
Answer:
balanced equation mole ratio 5 2 mol NO/1 mol O2
10.00 g O2 3 1 mol O2/32.00 g O2 5 0.3125 mol O2
20.00 g NO 3 1 mol NO/30.01 g NO 5 0.6664 mol NO
actual mole ratio 5 0.6664 mol NO/0.3125 mol O2 5 2.132 mol NO/1.000 mol O2
Because the actual mole ratio of NO:O2 is larger than the balanced equation mole
ratio of NO:O2, there is an excess of NO; O2 is the limiting reactant.
Mass of NO used 5 0.3125 mol O2 3 2 mol NO/1 mol O2 5 0.6250 mol NO
0.6250 mol NO 3 30.01 g NO/1 mol NO 5 18.76 g NO
Mass of NO2 produced 5 0.6250 mol NO2 3 46.01 g NO2/1 mol NO2 5 28.76 g NO2
Excess NO 5 20.00 g NO 2 18.76 g NO 5 1.24 g N
Explanation:
Answer:
The large relative distances between particles in a gas means that there is considerable empty space between the particles.
The assumption that particles in a gas are relatively far apart explains gas compressibility.
Compressibility is a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure.
Energy is released by a gas when it is compressed
Explanation:
The kinetic molecular theory establishes that gases are composed of molecules. These molecules of gas are far apart from each other hence there is a considerable empty space between the gas molecules. As a result of these empty spaces between gas molecules, it is possible to compress a gas.
Compressibility is defined as a measure of how much the volume of matter decreases under pressure. When a gas is compressed, work is done on the gas and energy is evolved hence the gas heats up.
