Answer:

C. An electron at this electrode has a higher potential energy than it has at a standard hydrogen electrode.

Explanation:

The standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is used to measure the electrode potential of substances. The standard hydrogen electrode is arbitrarily assigned an electrode potential of zero. Recall that electrode potentials are always measured as reduction potentials in electrochemical systems.

For an electrode that has a negative electrode potential, electrons at this electrode have a higher potential energy compared to electrons at the standard hydrogen electrode. Electrons flow from this electrode to the hydrogen electrode.

On the other hand, a positive electrode potential implies that an electron at this electrode has a lower potential energy than it has at a standard hydrogen electrode. Hence electrons will flow from the standard hydrogen electrode to this electrode.

- A 100 mL graduated cylinder since it has marks showing the volume of the substance measured.

Explanation;

-A graduated cylinder or a measuring cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure precise volumes of a liquid.

-Graduated cylinders are specifically designed to measure out liquid volumes. Their tall narrow design makes for a more precise reading of the liquid level as compared to other pieces used to measure volume.

Predict the shape of the molecule.
GuDViN [60]

Number of electron pairs = \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

1

[V+N−C+A]

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

SbCl_5SbCl

5

:

In the given molecule, antimony is the central atom and there are five chlorine as monovalent atoms.

The number of electron pairs are 5 that means the hybridization will be sp^3dsp

3

B and geometry of the molecule will be trigonal bipyramidal.

At 700 K, the reaction2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)has the equilibrium constant Kc = 4.3 x 106, and the following concentrations are p
dedylja [7]

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

       2SO_{2} + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2SO_{3}(g)

Value of equilibrium constant is given as K_{c} = 4.3 \times 10^{6}[/tex].

Concentration of given species is [SO_2] = 0.010 M; [SO_3] = 10.M; [O_2] = 0.010 M.

Formula for experimental value of equilibrium constant (Q) is as follows.

             Q = \frac{[SO_{3}]^{2}}{[SO_{2}]^{2}[O_{2}]}

Putting the given concentration as follows.

              Q = \frac{[SO_{3}]^{2}}{[SO_{2}]^{2}[O_{2}]}

             Q = \frac{(10)^{2}}{(0.010)^{2}(0.010)}

              Q = 10^{8}

It is known that when Q > K_{eq}, then reaction moves in the backward direction.

When Q < K_{eq}, then reaction moves in the forward direction.

When Q = K_{eq}, then reaction is at equilibrium.

As, for the given reaction Q > K_{eq} then it means reaction moves in the backward direction.

Thus, we can conclude that the reaction is moving in the backward direction, that is, right to left to reach the equilibrium.
