Vlad [161]2 years ago

Answer:

A Standard Hydrogen Electrode is an electrode that scientists use for reference on all half-cell potential reactions. The value of the standard electrode potential is zero, which forms the basis one needs to calculate cell potentials using different electrodes or different concentrations. It is important to have this common reference electrode, just as it is important for the International Bureau of Weights and Measures to keep a sealed piece of metal that is used to reference the S.I. Kilogram.

Answer:

The role of an electrode as cathode or anode depends on the nature and electrode potential of the other electrode with which it forms the complete electrochemical cell.

When a cell is to be made with zinc electrode and hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen electrode will behave as a cathode and the zinc electrode will behave as anode because zinc is present above hydrogen in the activity series. That is zinc is more electropositive than hydrogen.

If the cell is made with a copper electrode and hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen electrode will behave as anode and the copper electrode as a cathode. This is due to the fact that Cooper is present below hydrogen in the activity series. Copper is less electropositive than hydrogen.

A sample of paraffin wax undergoes the following change: C25H52(s) → C25H52(l)
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Answer: Intermolecular forces

The reason for this answer is because the substance (paraffin wax) only changed it's state from solid to liquid and didn't undergo a breakage in it's covalent bond within it's carbon chain which would have produced another substance.

(b) Solid substances are generally more dense than there corresponding liquid substances because the more compact particles are (which occurs in solids), the more dense they become. They are thus more dense than liquids because liquids have there particles loosely packed and well spaced making them less dense than there corresponding solids. Hence, the solid paraffin wax was going to become less dense because it's particles moved from being tightly packed (as solids) to being loosely packed (as liquids). Density refers to mass per volume but can also be described as the level of compactness of a substance. Thus, since liquid is not as compact as solid, it can be said to be less dense than solids.

R is the midpoint of FG.<br><br> FR = 26 find RG
vichka [17]

Answer:

52

Explanation:

This is because if R is the midpoint of FRG, FR is half of FRG, so basically all you do it multiply by 2 to get the FRG

Nitric acid can be produced by the reaction of gaseous nitrogen dioxide with water. 3 no2(g + h2o(? ?? 2 hno3(? + no(g if 538 l
Phantasy [73]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>3NO2 + H2O = 2HNO3 + NO

Assuming that the gases in this reaction are ideal gas, then we can use the conversion from L to moles which is 1 mol of ideal gas is equal to 22.4 L. We calculate as follows:

538 L NO2 ( 1 mol / 22.4L ) ( 1 mol NO / 3 mol NO2 ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 179.33 L NO is produced</span>
