I really don’t know but

Phosphorus pentoxide is a white solid which does not have any distinct odour. The chemical formula of this compound is P4O10. However, it is named after its empirical formula, which is P2O5. The molar mass of phosphorus pentoxide corresponds to 283.9 g/mol.

If the half-reaction: Fe3+ + e- = Fe2+ were chosen as the standard reduction potential table reference instead of: 2H+ + 2e- = H
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

E^{0} for Zn^{2+}\mid Zn system would be -1.53 V

Explanation:

Determination of standard reduction potential of any system is done by placing the system in cathode and a reference half cell in anode and then evaluate the cell potential. The cell potential is the standard reduction potential of the system.

So E_{cell}^{0}=E_{system}^{0}-E_{reference}^{0}

As E_{H^{+}\mid H_{2}}^{0} is equal to 0 therefore cell potential is equal to reduction potential of any system by taking hydrogen electrode as a reference.

E_{Zn^{2+}\mid Zn}^{0} equal to -0.76 V with respect to hydrogen

E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe^{2+}}^{0} equal to 0.77 V with respect to hydrogen

Therefore standard reduction potential of Zn^{2+}\mid Zn system when Fe^{3+}\mid Fe^{2+} system is taken as reference is-

E_{cell}^{0}=E_{Zn^{2+}\mid Zn}^{0}-E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe^{2+}}^{0}

                          = -0.76 V - 0.77 V

                          = -1.53 V

The difference between glycogen and amylopectin is:_________
frutty [35]

Answer:

The main difference between amylopectin and glycogen is that amylopectin is an insoluble form whereas glycogen is a soluble form. Amylopectin is one of the two types of starch, which is the main form of storage polysaccharides in plants. Glycogen is the main storage polysaccharide in animals.

What is the pH of a solution with [H+] of 1x10^-8 M?*<br> 15<br> -8<br> 8<br> 80
Serga [27]

Answer:

<h2>8</h2>

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]

From the question we have

ph  =  -  log(1 \times  {10}^{ - 8}  )  \\  = 8

We have the final answer as

<h3>8 </h3>

Hope this helps you

Some chemists believe that satisfaction of the octet rule should be the top criterion for choosing the dominant lewis structure
Fudgin [204]

Lewis structures refers to the diagrams used to signify the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and the lone pair of electrons, which may prevail in the molecule. These structures are drawn on the basis of the formal charge of each atom within the ion or molecule.

The formal charge refers to the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, which all the electrons are shared equivalently amongst the atoms regardless of its electronegativity.

The rule for formal charge calculation is,

Formal charge = no of valency shell electron - 1/2 of the no of shared pair electron - no of lone pair electron.

So, in this case, the formal charge of P = 5 - 1/2 (10) - 0 = 0

The valence shell of P have 5 electrons. The total 5 bond is there in the given composition, so total 10 bonding electron, and there is no lone pair of electron on P atom. So, formal charge of P is 0.
