Answer: When the reaction reaches equilibrium, the cell potential will be 0.00 V

Explanation:

Equilibrium state is the state when reactants and products are present but the concentrations does not change with time.

The equilibrium is dynamic in nature and the reactions are continuous in nature. Rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction.

The standard emf of a cell is related to Gibbs free energy by following relation:

$\Delta G=-nFE^0$

The Gibbs free energy is related to equilibrium constant by following relation:

$\Delta G=-2.303RTlog K$

For equilibrium $\Delta G=0$

Thus $0=-nFE^0$

$E^0=0$

Thus When the reaction reaches equilibrium, the cell potential will be 0.00 V

Yes , I agree with the statement water contains minerals

Explanation:

When LaShawna saw the steam, she said that the water must contain a lot of minerals and the statement is true.
Most of the water comes from the underground supply and they undergo some cleaning process and stuff.
Usually, mineral water comes from natural underground water supply and the springs.
Chemical compounds like Calcium, potassium, sodium, iron are present in water.
Magnesium plays an essential function in maintaining blood supply and high mineral content water helps us to prevent or lower the heart-related disease.
Calcium is the building block for maintaining the bone's health.

For each of the following circumstances, indicate whether the calculated molarity of NaOH would be lower, higher or unaffected.

irina [24]

Answer:

a)calculated molarity of NaOH would be lower

b) calculated molarity of NaOH would be lower

c) calculated molarity of NaOH would be lower

d) calculated molarity of NaOH would be unaffected

Explanation:

Let us recall that the reaction of NaOH and HCl is as follows;

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ----> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Since the reaction is 1:1, when the number of moles of HCl reacting with NaOH is low due to dilution, the calculated molarity of NaOH also becomes less than it's accurate value.

When 40mL of water is added to the titration flask rather than 25ml of water, the acid is more dilute hence less number of moles of acid than necessary reacts with the base thereby yielding a less than accurate value of the molarity of NaOH.

If the burette wet with water is not rinsed with NaOH solution, the concentration of the NaOH in the burette decreases due to dilution with water and a less than accuracy value is calculated for the molarity of NaOH.

If five drops of phenolphthalein is used instead of one or two drops, there is no qualms since enough phenolphthalein may be added to ensure that a sharp end point is obtained.

Solar, wind, and water power are renewable resources and can replace our dependence on fossil fuels. They each have their own dr

Vesna [10]

Solar- the sun is not always shining, for example at night you can't get any energy from the sun
Wind-it's not always windy
Water- there can be drought
Really the main issue of all three of these is that they are not always available
