Answer:

When a wave reaches a boundary between two media, usually some or all of the wave bounces back into the first medium. The return of a wave back into its original medium is called reflection. ... When light is incident on a rough surface, light is reflected in many directions.

A galvanic cell consists of a Cu(s)|Cu2+(aq) half-cell and a Cd(s)|Cd2+(aq) half-cell connected by a salt bridge. Oxidation occu

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is composed of two electrodes immersed in a suitable electrolyte and connected via a salt bridge. One of the electrodes serves as a cathode where reduction or gain of electrons takes place. The other half cell functions as an anode where oxidation or loss of electrons occurs.

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

As it is given that cadmium acts as anode, it must be on the left hand side and copper must be on right hand side.

$Cd(s)|Cd^{2+}(aq) || Cu^{2+}(aq)|Cu(s)$

Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) is often used in self-contained breathing devices, such as those used in fire emergencies, because it re

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

725.15 L

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Na₂O₂ and CO₂ is the following:

Na₂O₂ + CO₂ → Na₂CO₃ + 1/2 O₂

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, 1 mol of Na₂O₂ reacts with 1 mol CO₂. So, the stoichiometric ratio is 1 mol Na₂O₂/1 CO₂.

Now, we convert the mass of reactants to moles by using the molecular weight (Mw) of each compound:

Mw (Na₂O₂) = (23 g/mol x 2) + (16 g/mol x 2) = 78 g/mol

moles Na₂O₂ = 96.7 g/(78 g/mol) = 1.24 mol Na₂O₂

Mw (CO₂) = 12 g/mol + (16 g/mol x 2) = 44 g/mol

moles CO₂ = 0.0755 g/(44 g/mol) = 1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂

Now, we calculate the number of moles of CO₂ we need to completely react with the mass of Na₂O₂ we have:

1.24 mol Na₂O₂ x 1 mol CO₂/1 mol Na₂O₂ = 1.24 mol CO₂

In 1 L of respired air we have 1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂ (0.0755 g), so we need the following number of liters to have 1.24 mol of CO₂:

1.24 mol CO₂ x 1 L/1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂ = 725.15 L

The density of H2O2 is 1.407 g/mL, and the density of O2 is 1.428 g/L. How many liters of O2 can be made from 55 mL H2O2

balandron [24]

Explanation:

mass H2O2 = 55 mL(1.407 g/mL) = 80.85 g

molar mass H2O2 = 2(1.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol) = 34.02 g/mol

moles H2O2 = 80.85 g/34.02 g/mol = 2.377 moles H2O2

For each mole of H2O2 you obtain 0.5 mole of O2 (see the equation).

moles O2 = 2.377 moles H2O2 (1 mole O2)/(2 moles H2O2) = 1.188 moles O2

Now, you need the temperature. If you are at STP (273 K, and 1.00 atm) then 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L. Without temperature you are not really able to continue. I will assume you are at STP.

Volume O2 = 1.188 moles O2(22.4 L/mole) = 0.0530 L of O2.

which is 53 mL.
