An ion is an atom molecule that has a net electrical charge

Goshia [24]3 years ago

An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.

Based on the chemical equation, to balance the given equation we should use 2 as a coefficients of HCl on reacatnt side of the reaction.

<h3>What is balanced equation?</h3>

Balanced chemical equations are those equation in which each entities are present in same amount on reactant side as well as on the product side of the chemical reaction.

Given chemical reaction is:

Zn + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

In the above reaction equation is not balanced as number of chlorine and hydrogen atoms are not equal on both sides, so balanced equation will be:

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

Hence we add 2 as a coefficient of HCl to balance the equation.

The cell potential of a redox reaction occurring in an electrochemical cell under any set of temperature and concentration condi

avanturin [10]

Answer : The actual cell potential of the cell is 0.47 V

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Q) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given redox reaction is :

$Ni^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Ni(s)+Zn^{2+}(aq)$

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction : $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction : $Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni$

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q=\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$Q=\frac{(0.0141)}{(0.00104)}=13.6$

The value of the reaction quotient, Q, for the cell is, 13.6

Now we have to calculate the actual cell potential of the cell.

Using Nernst equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{RT}{nF}\ln Q$

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = 316 K

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2 mole

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.51 V

$E_{cell}$ = actual cell potential of the cell = ?

Q = reaction quotient = 13.6

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0.51-\frac{(8.314)\times (316)}{2\times 96500}\ln (13.6)$

$E_{cell}=0.47V$

Therefore, the actual cell potential of the cell is 0.47 V

What are some changes that can be caused by sound energy? by electromagnetic energy?

Pavel [41]

Hearing loss due to sound energy damaging the nerve cells in the inner ear. Many animals behavior is influenced by sound energy. They learn to associate events with sounds, so they run when something crunches in the dry grass (might be a coyote), but won't be bothered by the sound of a waterfall. Mood is affected by sound energy. A wine glass can break with sound energy, if the frequency matches the resonant frequency of the wine glass and the amplitude is great enough (one Mythbusters show featured a professional singer who broke a wine glass with his voice without any amplification).
