We first calculate the heat released:
Specific heat = 3.21 kJ/kgK
Heat released = heat absorbed by calorimeter
Heat absorbed = mcΔT
= 1.9 x 3.21 x 4.542
= 27.7 kJ
Now, we calculate the moles of hexane present:
Moles = mass / Mr
moles = 0.58 / (12 x 6 + 14)
= 0.0067
Heat of combustion = 27.7 / 0.0067 kJ/mol
ΔH(combustion) = 4,134.3 kJ / mol
Chromium (Cr): 2, 8, 8, 6
Copper (Cu): 2, 8, 8, 11
Chromium+2 (Cr+2): 2, 8, 8, 4 (if the ion retains a positive charge then the amount of electrons will decrease)
Copper+2 (Cu+2): 2, 8, 8, 9
Manganese+2 (Mn+2): 2, 8, 8, 5
Answer:
a new scientific discovery that benefits the environment
Answer:
The overall cell potential must be positive.
Explanation:
What must be true for a spontaneous reaction in an electrochemical cell?
- The overall cell potential must be positive. YES. This is by convention.
- The overall cell potential must be negative. NO. By convention, a negative cell potential means the cell is not spontaneous.
- The cathode’s standard reduction potential must be positive. NO. It only has to be higher than the anode's standard reduction potential.
- The cathode’s standard reduction potential must be negative. NO. It only has to be higher than the anode's standard reduction potential.
