The correct answer is A.

B is incorrect because the C with the triple bond is shown also single bonded to two hydrogens and another C atom: That would give us a C with 12 bonds, which violates the octet rule.

C is incorrect because you have an sp3 carbon atom that has only two hydrogens, and so is short two bonds. This would be correct if either there were another H bonded to the carbon atom or if it formed a double bond with an adjacent carbon atom (an H would have to be removed from that adjacent carbon, however).

D is incorrect for the reason mentioned above: You have a C that is double-bonded to one C, and single-bonded to another C and two H atoms. This adds up to 10 bonds, violating the octet rule. This would be a correct structure if a hydrogen atom were removed from the middle carbon atom.

Calculate the standard reaction Gibbs free energy for the following cell reactions: (a) 2 Ce41(aq) 1 3 I2(aq) S 2 Ce31(aq) 1 I32

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

For a: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b: The standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

Explanation:

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$ ............(1)

For a:

The given chemical equation follows:

$2Ce^{4+}(aq.)+3I^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ce^{3+}(aq.)+I_3^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Ce^{4+}(aq.)\rightarrow Ce^{3+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 2)

Reduction half reaction: $3I^_(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow I_3^-(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=2\\E^o_{cell}=+1.08V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times (+1.80)=-347,400J=-347.4kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is -347.4 kJ

For b:

The given chemical equation follows:

$6Fe^{3+}(aq.)+2Cr^{3+}+7H_2O(l)(aq.)\rightarrow 6Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+e^-$ ( × 6)

Reduction half reaction: $2Cr^{2+}(aq.)+7H_2O(l)+6e^-\rightarrow Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq.)+14H^+(aq.)$

We are given:

$n=6\\E^o_{cell}=-1.29V\\F=96500$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-6\times 96500\times (-1.29)=746,910J=746.91kJ$

Hence, the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 746.91 kJ

How are endothermic and exothermic reactions the same how are they different?

svetoff [14.1K]

Endothermic reactions and Exothermic reaction are never the same.

They are both different.

Definitions

Endothermic:- reactions that take in energy. For example:- electrolysis, thermal decomposition and the reaction between ethanic acid and sodium carbonate.
Exothermic:- reactions that transfer energy to the surroundings. For example:- burning, neutralisation and the reaction between water and calcium oxide.

Is barium nitrate more soluble in water than CH4 or the other way around?

kenny6666 [7]

Barium nitrate and methane (CH4) are both soluble. They both will dissolve in water, however, barium nitrate will dissociate becoming barium 2+ ions and nitrate becoming NO3 1- ions. All nitrates are soluble and dissociate. CH4 is a weak base and does dissolves but doesn't dissociate. So in solubility terms.... they are both equally soluble just one happens to dissociate into its cations and anions. Hope this helps!

Andy puts some pieces of paper on a drum and then hits the drum with a drumstick. What observation supports the idea that sound

Shkiper50 [21]

Though she hits the drum, the papers on the drum also vibrate.

This is due to the fact that when she hits the drum, the shock waves created by the hitting travel through the skin of the drum and radiate outwards. When they encounter the papers, some of this energy is transmitted to the papers and the papers also vibrate.

Why does random error affects precision?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Thus, random error primarily affects precision. Typically, random error affects the last significant digit of a measurement. The main reasons for random error are limitations of instruments, environmental factors, and slight variations in procedure.
