Answer is: (2) Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.

An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).

The answer is (2) chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. The choice of (1) describes the electrolytic cell. The oxidation takes place at the anode and reduction takes place at the cathode.

Answer:

H₂: 0.48, N₂: 0.43; Ar: 0.09

Explanation:

First of all, sum all the pressures to know the total pressure in the mixture.

434 Torr + 389.9 Torr + 77.9 Torr = 901.8 Torr

Mole fraction = Pressure gas / Total Pressure

Mole Fraction H₂: 434 Torr /901.8 Torr = 0.48

Mole Fraction N₂: 389.9 /901.8 Torr =0.43

Mole Fraction Ar: 77.9 /901.8 Torr = 0.09

Remember: <u>SUM OF MOLE FRACTION = 1</u>

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Lets start by drawing the ICE chart

reaction is

...............CO + H2O ========= CO2 + H2

I.............2.6.........3.4..........................0................0

E...........1.88........2.68......................0.72............0.72

since reaction is 1 : 1 if 0.72 atm of H2 are produced then the same amount of CO2 will be formed

calculate Kp this is the relationship between the pressure of products and the pressure of reactants

Kp = Pproducts / Preactants = [Pco2* PH2] / [PCO * PH2O]

Kp = 0.72 * 0.72 / (1.88 * 2.68) = 0.1029

Write the ICE chart again

...............CO + H2O ========= CO2 + H2

I.............1.88.........2.68+1.1.................0.72................0.72

C...........-x............. -x..............................+x........................+x

E......1.88 - x...........3.78-x.....................0.72+x..... ..0.72+x

Kp is = (0.72+x)*(0.72+x) /[ (1.88-x)*(3.78-x) ] = 0.1029

lets say that x is the change of pressure.

If you solve this equation you will get a value of x equal to 0.1

Pressure of CO2 is

0.72 + 0.1= 0.82 atm

using 2 sig figures this would be

8.2x10-1 atm

How many moles of carbon are in 7.00 x 1023 atoms of carbon?

Andru [333]

Answer:

<h2>1.16 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{7 \times {10}^{23} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } = \frac{7}{6.02} \\ = 1.162790....$

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.16 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Describe the cause of attraction between molecules of water

loris [4]

In a water molecule, the oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds, but the sharing is not equal. In the covalent bond between oxygen and hydrogen, the oxygen atom attracts electrons a bit more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.
