Chemistry
1 answer:
frozen [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Mercury’s atmosphere is incredibly thin.

It's thin because the atmosphere is made up of atoms blasted off its surface by the Solar wind and also consist of the stream particles coming from the outer layer of the sun

2. The length of a mercury year is about 1.5 times longer than a mercury a day.

Mercury revolves around the sun very quickly but rotates around its axis very very slowly

3.The temperature range on Mercury is about 590 °C.

During the day, temperatures on Mercury's surface can reach Very High But,  the planet has no atmosphere to retain that heat

Choose the balanced equation for the reaction. Au3+(aq) + Cu+(aq) → Au(s) + Cu2+(aq) Au(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Au3+(aq) + Cu+(aq) Au3+(
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Au3+(aq) + 3Cu+(aq) → Au(s) + 3Cu2+(aq)

1.35 V

Explanation:

Given that the reduction potential of

Cu^2+(aq) + e- -----> Cu^+(aq) is +0.15 V

While the reduction potential of

Au3+(aq) + 3 e- -----> Au(s) is + 1.50V

It is clear that the Cu^+(aq)/Cu^2+(aq) system is the anode while Au^3+(aq)/Au(s) system is the cathode based on the reduction potentials shown above. The number of electrons transferred (n) =3

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= 1.50-0.15

E°cell= 1.35 V
