A. Zn²⁺

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Cations of several elements

Required

The least to be reduced

Solution

If we look at the voltaic series:

<em>Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe²⁺-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Fe³⁺-Ag-Pt-Au </em>

The electrode which is easier to reduce than the hydrogen (H2) electrode has a positive sign (E red= +) and is located to the right of the voltaic series (right of H)

The electrode which is easier to oxidize than the hydrogen (H2) electrode and is difficult to experience reduction has a negative sign (E red= -) and is located to the left of the voltaic series (left of H)

Or you can look at the standard reduction potential value of the metals in the answer options, and the most negative reduction E° value which will be difficult to reduce.

The Zn metal is located far left of the other metals in the answer choices, so it is the most difficult to reduce

What is the volume of 0.80 grams of o2 gas at stp? (5 points) group of answer choices 0.59 liters 0.56 liters 0.50 liters 0.47 l
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

0.56L

Explanation:

This question requires the Ideal Gas Law:  PV=nRT where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the Ideal Gas constant, and T is the Temperature of the gas.

Since all of the answer choices are given in units of Liters, it will be convenient to use a value for R that contains "Liters" in its units:R=0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol\cdot K}

Since the conditions are stated to be STP, we must remember that STP is Standard Temperature Pressure, which means T=273.15K and P=1atm

Lastly, we must calculate the number of moles of O_2(g) there are.  Given 0.80g of O_2(g), we will need to convert with the molar mass of O_2(g).  Noting that there are 2 oxygen atoms, we find the atomic mass of O from the periodic table (16g/mol) and multiply by 2:  32g\text{ }O_2=1mol\text{ }O_2

Thus, \frac{0.80g \text{ }O_2}{1} \frac{1mol\text{ }O_2}{32g\text{ }O_2}=0.25mol\text{ }O_2=n

Isolating V in the Ideal Gas Law:

PV=nRT

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

...substituting the known values, and simplifying...

V=\frac{(0.025 mol \text{ }O_2)(0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol \cdot K} )(273.15K)}{(1atm)}

V=0.56L \text{ } O_2

So, 0.80g of O_2(g) would occupy 0.56L at STP.
