Answer:

1.86 atm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V₁) = 18.6 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.10 atm

Final volume (V₂) = 1000 mL

Final pressure (P₂) =?

NOTE: The temperature is constant.

Next, we shall convert 1000 mL to L.

1000 mL = 1 L

Finally, we shall determine the final pressure of the gas as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = 18.6 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.10 atm

Final volume (V₂) = 1 L

Final pressure (P₂) =?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

18.6 × 0.10 = P₂ × 1

1.86 = P₂

P₂ = 1.86 atm

Thus, the final pressure of the gas is 1.86 atm

Give four reasons why afertile soil is not necessarily productive

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

During cellular respiration animal cells combine oxygen with food molecules to release energy to live and function. Remember that cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. Animals use energy to grow, reproduce, and to function. They release the carbon dioxide into the air as a waste product

What do you think the saying ‘think globally, act locally’ means? How does this apply to the issue of plastic debris in the ocea

Tatiana [17]

I believe it means to worry about the entire planet but you should also help around your community. It applies the oceans having plastic in them because you can’t get all of the plastic out but you can pick trash around your city

Calculate the EMF between copper and silver Ag+e-E=0.89v<br>Cu=E=0.34v

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Depending on the $E^\circ$ value of $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \to Ag\; (s)$ , the cell potential would be:

$0.55\; \rm V$ , using data from this particular question; or
approximately $0.46\; \rm V$ , using data from the CRC handbooks.

Explanation:

In this galvanic cell, the following two reactions are going on:

The conversion between $\rm Ag\; (s)$ and $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions, $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Ag\; (s)$ , and
The conversion between $\rm Cu\; (s)$ and $\rm Cu^{2+}$ ions, $\rm Cu^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\, e^{-} \rightleftharpoons \rm Cu\; (s)$ .

Note that the standard reduction potential of $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions to $\rm Ag\; (s)$ is higher than that of $\rm Cu^{2+}$ ions to $\rm Cu\; (s)$ . Alternatively, consider the fact that in the metal activity series, copper is more reactive than silver. Either way, the reaction is this cell will be spontaneous (and will generate a positive EMF) only if $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions are reduced while $\rm Cu\; (s)$ is oxidized.

Therefore:

The reduction reaction at the cathode will be: $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \to Ag\; (s)$ . The standard cell potential of this reaction (according to this question) is $E(\text{cathode}) = 0.89\; \rm V$ . According to the 2012 CRC handbook, that value will be approximately $0.79\; \rm V$ .

The oxidation at the anode will be: $\rm Cu\; (s) \to \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\, e^{-}$ . According to this question, this reaction in the opposite direction ( $\rm Cu^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\, e^{-} \rightleftharpoons \rm Cu\; (s)$ ) has an electrode potential of $0.34\; \rm V$ . When that reaction is inverted, the electrode potential will also be inverted. Therefore, $E(\text{anode}) = -0.34\; \rm V$ .

The cell potential is the sum of the electrode potentials at the cathode and at the anode:

$\begin{aligned}E(\text{cell}) &= E(\text{cathode}) + E(\text{anode}) \\ &= 0.89 \; \rm V + (-0.34\; \rm V) = 0.55\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

Using data from the 1985 and 2012 CRC Handbook:

$\begin{aligned}E(\text{cell}) &= E(\text{cathode}) + E(\text{anode}) \\ &\approx 0.7996 \; \rm V + (-0.337\; \rm V) \approx 0.46\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .
