Answer:

3.3 * 10^-12

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the reaction is;

2H+(aq) + Cu(s) ---------> H2(g) + Cu2+(aq)

Hence two electrons were transferred so n=2

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell = 0 V - 0.34 V

E°cell = - 0.34 V

Then;

E°cell = 0.0592/n log K

Substituting values;

- 0.34 = 0.0592/2 log K

- 0.34/0.0296 = log K

-11.486 = log K

K = Antilog (-11.486)

K = 3.3 * 10^-12

1. Que factores provocan la oxidación?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Mira la explicación.

Explanation:

Hola,

Las reacciones de oxidación se definen como aquellos procesos químicos en las cuales uno de los elementos involucrados sufre un aumento en su estado de oxidación, causado por el efecto de un agente oxidante, el cual es capaz de aceptar los electrones perdidos por dicho elemento oxidante. Dentro de los factores promotores de la oxidación se pueden encontrar:

1. Presencia de oxígeno gaseoso: al ser un agente oxidante fuerte, es capaz de recibir electrones de casi cualquier sustancia.

2. Presencia de humedad: a la larga, cuando una sustancia reacciona con agua tiende oxidarse ya que el agua posee oxígeno y como se vio anteriormente, es el principal promotor de oxidación.

3. La presencia de algunas sales iónicas como cloruro de sodio también promueven la oxidación, por ello es que no debemos introducir joyería al mar, debido a que esta salinidad induce reacciones electroquímicas que son capaces de oxidar metales.

4. Reacciones con ácidos oxidantes: ácidos como el nítrico, son oxidantes fuertes que tienen la capacidad de disolver metales (oxidarlos) y formar nitratos, por ejemplo el cobre en presencia de ácido nítrico, sufre una oxidación bastante violenta.

Saludos!

You are planting flowers in large pots. You plan to plant flowers in 10 pots. 15 cups of potting soil will fill one pot. A bag o
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

I will need  six (6) bags of potting soil

Explanation:

Since you plan on planting in 10 pots and need 15 cups of potting soil per pot, the total amount of potting soil you need <em>(in cups)</em> is 10 X 15 = 150 cups of potting soil.

We have that a bag contains 25 sups. to get the number of bags needed, we have to divide 150 by 25. This will give us 150 / 25 = 6 bags.

Therefore, I will need  six (6) bags of potting soil

C. Why do people use Earth's motions to<br> determine units of time?
Sladkaya [172]

The people use Earth's motion to determine units of time because of its uniform motion which is consistent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In earlier days, people used to observe the motion of Earth to measure time. This is because, the Earth is moving at constant speed and at constant acceleration. So the change in position of the sun or stars can be easily correlated to the time.

Due to the consistency in the Earth's motion and the accurate repetition of the time period along with the seasons, the Earth's motion can be considered as a responsible source to determine the units of time.
