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.

Answer:-

0.229 L

Explanation:-

Molar mass of AgBr = 107.87 x 1 + 79.9 x 1

=187.77 grams mol-1

Mass of AgBr = 150 grams

Number of moles of AgBr = 150 grams / 187.77 gram mol-1

= 0.8 mol

The balanced chemical equation is

NaBr (aq) + AgNO3 (aq)--> AgBr(s) + NaNO3(aq)

From the equation we can see that

1 mol of AgBr is produced from 1 mol of AgNO3.

∴ 0.8 mol of AgBr is produced from 1 x 0.8 / 1 = 0.8 mol of AgNO3.

Strength of AgNO3 = 3.5 M

Volume of AgNO3 required = Number of moles / strength

= 0.8 moles / 3.5

=0.229 L

A gas occupies 18.5L at stp. what volume will it occupy at 735 torr and 57°c?
olga nikolaevna [1]

 The volume that  will  be occupied at 735  torr and 57 c  is 23.12 L


 <u><em>calculation</em></u>

  • <u><em> </em></u> At STP   temperature=273 k  and  pressure=760 torr
  • <u><em> </em></u>by use of combined  gas formula

that is P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

where; P1 =760 torr

           T1= 273  K

           V1= 18.5 L

          P2= 735 torr

         T2=  57+273= 330 K

          V2=?

  • by making   V2 the formula of subject

     V2= T2P1V1/P2T1

       V2=  [(18.5L  x 330 k  x 760 torr)/(735 torr x 273 k)]= 23.12  L

What is the volume of a sample of liquid mercury that has a mass of 76.2g, given that the density of mercury is 13.6g/mL?
nignag [31]
Hey there!

D  = m / V

13.6 = 76.2 / V

V = 76.2 / 13.6

V = 5.602 mL

what is the  concentration of a NaCl solution, in Molarity, if you add 59.76 g of NaCl into 270 mL of H2O
enot [183]

Hey there!

Molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles

n =  mass of solute / molar mass

n = 59.76 / 58.44

n = 1.0225 moles of NaCl

Volume in liters:

270 mL / 1000 => 0.27 L

Therefore:

M = number of moles / volume ( L )

M = 1.0225 / 0.27

= 3.78 M

Hope that helps!
