What do the subscripts mean in a molecular formula ?​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Subscripts. We use subscripts in chemical formulae to indicate the number of atoms of an element present in a molecule or formula unit.

Answer:

A molecular formula tells us what atoms and how many of each type of atom are present in a molecule.

Explanation:

If only one atom of a specific type is present, no subscript is used.

For atoms that have two or more present, a subscript is written after the symbol for that atom.

Molecular formulas do not indicate how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.

What is the standard electrode potential for a galvanic cell constructed in the appropriate way from these two half-cells?

The standard reduction potential

resembles the electrode's strength as an oxidizing agent and equivalently its tendency to get reduced. The reduction potential of a Platinum-Hydrogen Electrode under standard conditions (

,

1.00

l

) is defined as

0

l

V

for reference. [2]

A cell with a high reduction potential indicates a strong oxidizing agent- vice versa for a cell with low reduction potentials.

Two half cells connected with an external circuit and a salt bridge make a galvanic cell; the half-cell with the higher

E

θ

and thus higher likelihood to be reduced will experience reduction and act as the cathode, whereas the half-cell with a lower

E

θ

will experience oxidation and act the anode.

E

(

Therefore in this galvanic cell, the

Ni

2

Ni

half-cell will experience reduction and act as the cathode and the

Mg

the anode.

The standard cell potential of a galvanic cell equals the standard reduction potential of the cathode minus that of the anode. That is:

Indicating that connecting the two cells will generate a potential difference of

across the two cells.

How many atoms are in 22 grams of copper metal?
strojnjashka [21]
Atomic mass Cu = 63.546 a.m.u

63.546 g ---------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
22 g --------------------- ??

22 x (6.02x10²³ ) / 63.546 => 2.08x10²³ atoms
