Answer:

Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the redox reaction during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell.

2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂

The corresponding half-reactions are:

2 e⁻ + 2 H₂O ⇒ H₂ + 2 OH⁻

2 H₂O ⇒ O₂ + 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻

Oxygen is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0.

Hydrogen is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 to 0.

3.00 moles of gas are pumped into a 1.00L rigid container with a pressure of 1.98 atm. The gas is released from the container un
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

1.18 moles of gas

Explanation:

3.00 moles of gas are pumped into a 1.00L rigid container with a pressure of 1.98 atm. The gas is released from the container until the pressure is 0.78 atm, how many moles of gas remain in the container?​

for the sealed rigid container, the pressure is directly proportional to the amount of gas

3.00moles/1.98  atm =  ? moles/0.78 atm

? = 3.00 X 0.78/1.98  =1.18 moles of gas

If the resistance of a circuit is 3 ohms, and the voltage produced by the cell in the circuit is 12 volts, what's the magnitude
koban [17]

Answer:

<h2>4 A</h2>

Explanation:

The magnitude of the current can be found by using the formula

i =  \frac{v}{r} \\

v is the voltage

r is the resistance

From the question we have

i =  \frac{12}{3}  = 4 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4 A</h3>

Hope this helps you

Plz answer correctly....The concentration of either the H+ ion or the OH − ion is given for four aqueous solutions at 298 K.?
Rudiy27

Definitions needed:  

pH = -log[H^+]  

pOH = -log[OH^-]  

pH + pOH = 14  

[H^+]*[OH^-] = 10^-14  

(a) [H+] = 3.0 10-13 M  

[OH ‾ ] = _____ M  

Acidic, Basic, or Neutral?  

[H^+]*[OH^-] = 10^-14  

[OH^-] = (10^-14)/[H^+]  

[OH^-] = (10^-14)/(3.0 10-13 M) = 0.033 M  

That's a high concentration of [OH^-], so the solution is basic  

(b) [OH ‾ ] = 3.0 10-7 M  

[H+] = ______M  

Acidic, Basic, or Neutral?  

[H^+]*[OH^-] = 10^-14  

[H^+]* = (10^-14)/[OH^-]  

[H^+]* = (10^-14)/(3.0 10-7 M) = 3.33 x 10^-8  

That would be a slightly basic solution (pH just higher than 7).

Menthol, the substance we can smell in mentholated cough drops, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.1005 g sample of menthol is comb
larisa [96]

Answer:

molecular formula = C₁₀H₂₀O

Explanation:

the carbon dioxide is obtained on combustion from an organic molecule due to reaction of carbon with oxygen and water is formed due to reaction of hydrogen with oxygen to form water.

The reactions are:

C+O_{2}--> CO_{2}\\H_{2}+ 0.5O_{2} --->H_{2}O

From above equations

i) 44g of carbon dioxide is formed from 12g of carbon

Therefore 0.2829g of carbon dioxide must be formed from = \frac{12X0.2829}{44}=0.077 gramsof carbon

ii) 18g of water is formed from 2 grams of hydrogen

Therefore 0.1159 grams of water must be formed from =

\frac{2X0.1159}{18}= 0.0128ghydrogen

Total weight of sample taken = 0.1005

so mass of oxygen = 0.1005-(0.077+0.0129)=0.0106 g

moles of carbon = mass / atomic mass = 0.077/12=0.00641

moles of hydrogen = mass /atomic mass = 0.0128/1=0.0128

moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass =0.0106/ 16=0.00066

Let us divide all the moles with the smallest one

moles of carbon = 0.00641 / 0.00066 = 10 (approx)

moles of hydrogen = 0.0128/0.00066 = 20 (approx)

moles of oxygen = 0.00066/0.00066 = 1

Empirical formula of menthol = C₁₀H₂₀O

Empirical mass =10X12 + 20X1 + 16= 156

Which is equal to molar mass hence the empirical formula = molecular formula
