SEP Construct an Explanation What properties of lithium, sodium, and magnesium make these elements good ones to use in the anode

s of batteries? (Hint: Think about where they are located on the periodic table.) Which of these three has been most commonly used in batteries so far, and for what two reasons?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Lithium, sodium, and magnesium are metals found towards the left hand side in the periodic table. They are highly electropostive and have highly negative reduction potentials. The reduction potentials of the metals are listed below;

Li -3.04 V

Na -2.71 V

Mg -2.37 V

These metals easily loose electrons making them highly preferable for use as the anode of batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used types of battery. This is because the reduction potential of Li is very negative hence it looses electrons easily and current starts flowing.

Secondly, Lithium-ion batteries are easily rechargeable compared to those of sodium and magnesium.

If 14.5kj of heat were added to 485g of liquid water, how much would its temp increase
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>7.15 degrees C The specific heat capacity of water is 4.1813 J/(g*K). So we have 3 values with the units kJ, g and J/(g*K). We can trivially convert from kJ to J by multiplying by 1000. And we want to get a result with the unit K (degrees Kelvin). So let's do it. First, let's cancel out the g unit by multiplying. 4.1813 J/(g*K) * 485 g = 2027.9305 J/K Now we can cancel out the J unit by dividing. But if we divide by the energy, we'll be left with the reciprocal of K, not K. So instead divide by the J/K unit. So 14500 J / 2027.9305 J/K = 7.150146418 K Rounding to 3 significant figures gives us 7.15 K. And since degrees C and degrees K are the same size, the temperature will increase by 7.15 degrees C</span>

Glycolic acid, which is a monoprotic acid and a constituent in sugar cane, has a pKa of 3.9. A 25.0 mL solution of glycolic acid
slava [35]

Answer:

pH of resulting solution = 7.98

Explanation:

The balanced equation  

HA + NaOH - Na+ + A- + H2O

Number of moles of A = Number of moles of HA  = Number of moles of NaOH

= 35.8/1000 * 0.020 = 0.000716 mol

Initial concentration of A = 0.000716/0.0608 = 0.01178 M

pKb = 14 – pKa = 14 -3.9 = 10.1

Kb = 10^{-Kb} = 10^{-10.1} = 7.943 * 10^-11

Kb = [HA][OH-]/[A-]

Kb = a^2/(0.01178 -a) = 7.943 * 10^-11

a^2 + 7.943 * 10^-11 a – 9.357 * 10^-13 = 0

a = 9.673 * 10^-7

OH- = a = 9.673 * 10^-7 M

pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (9.673 * 10^-7) = 6.02

pH = 14-6.02 = 7.98
