Explanation:

a) Anode:

Cathode :

c) As , the reaction is spontaneous.

Explanation:

a) Here Ni undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Hydrogen undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

Anode:

Cathode :

b) 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 slat bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

Where both are standard reduction potentials.

= +ve, reaction is spontaneous

= -ve, reaction is non spontaneous

= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Thus as , the reaction is spontaneous.

d) The standard emf of a cell is related to Gibbs free energy by following relation:

= standard gibbs free energy

n= no of electrons gained or lost

F= faraday's constant

= standard emf

Thus value of Gibbs free energy is -48250 Joules.

5. What is the volume of 10 moles of a gas at 300 K held at a pressure of 3.5 atm?

Helga [31]

70.33 L is the volume of 10 moles of a gas at 300 K held at a pressure of 3.5 atm.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume is the percentage of a liquid, solid, or gas's three-dimensional space that it occupies.

Liters, cubic metres, gallons, millilitres, teaspoons, and ounces are some of the more popular units used to express volume, though there are many others.

We will use ideal gas law to find the volume

PV = nRT

Can also be written as

V = (nRT)/P

Where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = amount of substance

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature

Here, we have given

P = 3.5 atm

V = to find

n = 10 moles

R = 0.08206 L⋅atm/K⋅mol

T = 300k

Lets substitute the values

V = (10 × 0.08206 × 300)/3.5

V = 70.33 L

To test the purity of sodium bicarbonate, you dissolve a 3.50g sample in water and add sulfuric acid. if 1.04g of carbon dioxide

Andrews [41]

Answer is: the percent purity of the sodium bicarbonate is 56.83 %.

1. Chemical reaction: 2NaHCO₃ + H₂SO₄ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O + Na₂SO₄.

2. m(NaHCO₃) = 3.50 g

n(NaHCO₃) = m(NaHCO₃) ÷ M(NaHCO₃).

n(NaHCO₃) = 3.50 g ÷ 84 g/mol.

n(NaHCO₃) = 0.042 mol.

3. From chemical reaction: n(NaHCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.

n(CO₂) = 0.042 mol.

m(CO₂) = 0.042 mol · 44 g/mol.

m(CO₂) = 1.83 g.

4. the percent purity = 1.04 g/1.83 g ·100%.

the percent purity = 56.8 %.

Put the list in chronological order (1–5).

Leokris [45]

Explanation:

Filtration is a separation technique in which solid particles suspended in liquid medium are separated by allowing the mixture through the pores of the filter paper. By this solid particles get collect on filter paper and liquid drains out from the pores of the filter paper.

The chronological order for given steps will be:

Weigh and fold the filter paper.
Place the filter paper in the funnel, then place the funnel in the Erlenmeyer flask.
Allow the solid/liquid mixture to drain through the filter.
Use water to rinse the filter paper containing the mixture.
Weigh the dried filter paper and copper.

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass

vesna_86 [32]

$\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}$

Difference between Atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass :-

<h3>Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- Carbon 12 , carbon 13 and carbon 14 have different atomic mass. 
The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3>Relative Atomic mass :-</h3>

Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3>Average Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .
