The properties of a compound are nothing like the properties of th elements that combine to make it.
sodium chloride,NaCl, table salt, is a white cubic crystal, stable ionic compound, soluble in water
sodium is a soft metal, very reactive with water and air
chlorine is a yellow green gas that is poisonous and very reactive.
carbon dioxide, CO2, is a clear, colorless gas that puts out fires, plants use but we breath out.
carbon is a black solid, or a diamond
oxygen is a clear colorless gas that is needed for burning and breathing.
Answer:
2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2
Explanation:
First of all, you have to translate the words into an equation.
Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe + CO2
The easiest way to tackle this is to start with the Oxygens and balance them. They must balance by going to the greatest common factor which is 6. So you multiply the molecule by whatever it takes to get the Oxygens to 6
2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe + 3 CO2
Now work on the irons. There 2 on the left and just 1 on the right. So you need to multiply the iron by 2.
2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2
Finally it is the turn of the carbons. There are 3 on the right, so you must make the carbon on the left = 3
2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2
And you are done.
Answer:
a. -0.63 V
b. No
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Standard reduction potential of the anode (E°red): -1.33 V
- Minimum standard cell potential (E°cell): 0.70 V
Step 2: Calculate the required standard reduction potential of the cathode
The galvanic cell must provide at least 0.70V of electrical power, that is:
E°cell > 0.70 V [1]
We can calculate the standard reduction potential of the cathode (E°cat) using the following expression.
E°cell = E°cat - E°an [2]
If we combine [1] and [2], we get,
E°cat - E°an > 0.70 V
E°cat > 0.70 V + E°an
E°cat > 0.70 V + (-1.33 V)
E°cat > -0.63 V
The minimum E°cat is -0.63 V and there is no maximum E°cat.
Answer:
Explanation:
We already know that the mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.
So, the mass number of this isotope is;
Number of protons = 7
Number of neutrons = 8
Mass number = 7 + 8 = 15
Hence, the isotope is;
