Answer:

True

Explanation:

The oil drop experiment was carried out by Robert Millikan and Harvey Fletcher in 1909 to determine the charge of an electron. By balancing downward gravitation force with upward drag and electric force, they suspended small charged droplets of oil between two metal electrodes.

The charge over an oil droplet was often an integral value of e, was determined by changing the intensity of the electric field.

So, the given statement is true

An electrochemical cell is composed of pure nickel and pure iron electrodes immersed in solutions of their divalent ions at room
Andrej [43]

Answer:

0.758 V.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, case when we include the effect of concentration on an electrochemical cell, we need to consider the Nerst equation at 25 °C:

E=E\°-\frac{0.0591}{n} log(Q)

Whereas n stands for the number of moles of transferred electrons and Q the reaction quotient relating the concentration of the oxidized species over the concentration of the reduced species. In such a way, we can write the undergoing half-reactions in the cell, considering the iron's one is reversed because it has the most positive standard potential so it tends to reduction:

Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe^0\ \ \ E\°=0.440V\\\\Ni^0\rightarrow Ni^{2+}+2e^-\ \ \ E\°=-0.250V

It means that the concentration of the oxidized species is 0.002 M (that of nickel), that of the reduced species is 0.40 M and there are two moles of transferred electrons; therefore, the generated potential turns out:

E=(0.440V+0.250V)-\frac{0.0591}{2} log(\frac{0.002M}{0.40M} )\\\\E=0.758V

Beat regards!

A word equation is a written description of a chemical reaction.
All word equations start with the reactants.
Then, what comes next is the word "react to form."
Finally, the products of the equation are mentioned.
An example is,
Zinc and Hypochondriac acid react to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride.

What are oil and waters properties of matter?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Two other beneficial properties of the oil include the inhibition of corrosion of metal surfaces, such as steel, and the removal of dirt and detritus via detergency.

Properties of water include its chemical formula H2O, density, melting, boiling point & how one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to one oxygen atom.
