A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt M2SO4. Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 5

0.0 mM solution of M2SO4 and the right half cell with a 5.00 M solution of the same substance. Electrodes made of M are dipped into both solutions and a voltmeter is connected between them The temperature of the apparatus is held constant at 20.0 °C.
Which electrode will be positive?
What voltage will the voltmeter show?

Answer:

Explanation:

For a certain metal M by which the electrodes and the solution M_2SO_4 the cell notation is:

                                    SALT BRIDGE

     ANODE                         ↓                    CATHODE

M(s)|M_2SO_4_{(aq)} (50.0 \ mM)\Big {|} \Big {|} M_2SO_4_{(aq)} (5.00 \ M ) |M(s)

Since the standard electrode potential is less positive on the left side, a negative anode electrode is used, and oxidation occurs at the anode.

i.e  \ \  M(s) \to M^{2+} _{(aq)} + 2 e^-  \ \ \  (oxidation)

The right side of the cell cathode is placed which is positive in sign and aids in reduction since the normal reduction potential is less negative.

i.e  \ \   M^{2+} _{(aq)} + 2 e^- \to M(s)   \ \ \  (reduction)

As a result, the correct answer for the positive electrode is the right side.

M_2SO_4 \to M^{2+} + SO_4^{2-}

Using Nernst Equation:

E_{cell} = - \dfrac{RT}{nF }log ( \dfrac{reduction \ half   }{oxidation \ half})

E_{cell} = - \dfrac{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 293}{2 \times 96485 }log ( \dfrac{5.0 0  }{50 \times 10^{-3}})

E_{cell} = -0.058 \ V

The chemical reaction in which solid calcium oxide is treated liquid water is an example of what: A) decomposition B)combustion
laiz [17]

Answer:

The chemical reaction in which solid calcium oxide is treated liquid water is an example of Synthesis reaction. Hence, the answer is (D) Synthesis.

Explanation:

The formula of Calcium Oxide is CaO.

The formula of liquid water is H₂O.

Calcium Oxide reacts with water and forms Calcium Hydroxide. The Chemical equation is shown below.

CaO + H₂O --> Ca(OH)₂.

This is a Synthesis reaction because Ca(OH)₂ is synthesized by using Calcium Oxide and water.

The product of this reaction is calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime.

Thus, when calcium oxide reacts with water, slaked lime is produced.  

Calcium oxide is also known as lime and is most commonly used for many purposes. It can be used for pH correction of water or for its disinfection (with excess lime).

V125BC [204]

Answer :

A = In

B = 27

C = 73

D = 49

E = 56

F = 54

G = 66

H = 108

I = 32

Explanation :

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

Number of electrons = Number of protons - charge

1) How much energy would be required to melt 15.0 g of ice at 0°C?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

5010J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 15g

Heat of fusion (ΔHf) = 334J/g

Heat required (Q) =..?

The heat energy required to melt the ice can be obtained as follow:

Q = m·ΔHf

Q = 15 x 334

Q = 5010J

Therefore, the heat energy required to melt the ice is 5010J.
