Answer:

Option a. = 0.01 M

Explanation:

To do this, we need to gather the data:

E = 2.21 V

[Cl⁻] = 0.1 M

And the Redox reaction taking place is the following:

Zn(s) + Cl₂(g) <-------> Zn²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)       Q = [Zn] [Cl]²

E° Cl⁻/Cl₂ = 1.36 V

E° Zn/Zn²⁺ = -0.76 V

According to this, the expression to use will be the Nernst equation, and we can assume we are working at 25 °C, therefore, the Nernst equation will be:

E = E° - (0.059/n) logQ

E = E° - (0.059/n) ln([Cl⁻]² * [Zn²⁺])   (1)

From there, we can solve for Zn later.

First, we need to write the semi equation of oxidation and reduction, and get the standard potential of the cell:

Zn(s) --------> Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻       E₁° = 0.76 V

Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻ -----------> 2Cl⁻(aq)   E₂° = 1.36 V

---------------------------------------------------------------

Zn(s) + Cl₂(g) -------> Zn²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)    E° = 0.76 + 1.36 = 2.12 V

Now, let's replace in (1) and then, solve for [Zn]:

2.21 = 2.12 - (0.059/2) log ([0.1]² * [Zn])

2.21 - 2.12 = -0.0295 log (0.01[Zn])

- 0.09 / 0.0295 = log (0.01[Zn])

-3.0508 = log (0.01[Zn])

10^(-3.0508) = 0.01[Zn]

8.8961x10⁻⁴ = 0.01[Zn]

[Zn²⁺] = 0.08896 M

This value can be rounded to 0.1 M. so the correct option will be option A.

What kind of intermolecular forces act between two ammonia molecules
iragen [17]

Answer:

extensive hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The high boiling points of water, hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ammonia (NH3) is an effect of the extensive hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The London dispersion force is caused by random and temporary changes in the polarity of atoms, caused by the location of the electrons in the atoms' orbitals.

Hope this helps :)

Newton's second law of motion uses the formula which states that a force will cause a mass to accelerate. (f = m •
Makovka662 [10]

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

This verbal statement can be expressed in equation form as follows:

a = Fnet / m

Object A at 40.°C and object B at 80.°C are placed in contact with each other. Which statement describes the heat flow between t
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: The correct option is 2.

Explanation: Heat flow is defined as the transfer of energy from hotter object to cooler object when two objects are kept together at different temperatures. As the energy remains conserved, so the heat flow will take place until the equilibrium is attained.

In the above asked question, Object A is at 40° C and Object B is at 80° C.

Object B is at higher temperature, so the heat flow will take place from Object B to Object A.

Hence, the correct option is 2.
