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?

Law Incorporation [45]2 years ago

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.

When aqueous solutions of Na2SO4 and Pb(NO3)2 are mixed, PbSO4 precipitates. Calculate the mass of PbSO4 formed when 1.25 L of 0
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The mass of PbSO4 formed 15.163 gram

Explanation:

mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 1.25 x 0.05 = 0.0625

mole of Na₂SO₄ = 2 x 0.025 = 0.05

                                      Pb(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → PbSO₄ + 2 NaNO₃

( Mole/Stoichiometry )    \frac{0.0625}{1}           \frac{0.05}{1}

                                     = 0.0625     = 0.05

From  (Mole/ Stoichiometry ) we can conclude that Na₂SO₄ is limiting reagent.

Mass of PbSO₄ precipitate = 0.05 x Molecular mass of PbSO₄

                                            = 0.05 x 303.26 g

                                            = 15.163 g

How can you tell if a chemical equation is balanced
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A chemical equation is balanced when the number of each kind of atom is the same on both sides of the reaction.

Explanation:

    The law of conservation of matter (except in nuclear reactions) indicates that atoms can neither be created or destroyed.

    The number of atoms that are in the  reactants must be the same as the number of the atoms that are in the product.

    The number and types of molecules can (and will) change. The atoms that make up the molecules are rearranged but the number and kinds of atoms stay the same.

What is the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
xenn [34]
<span>To find the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), first record the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) and chloride (Cl), which are both listed on the periodic table as follows: Mg=24 g/mole Cl=38 g/mole Now, double the Cl mass since there are 2 Cl moles in MgCl2 and then add it to the Mg mass like so: (38 g/mole*2 moles)+24 g/mole=100 g/mole Finally, to calculate the mass of 3.00 moles of MgCl2, convert the combined atomic mass to grams as follows: 3.00 moles * 100 g/mole = 300 g</span>

Addition of 50. J to a 10.0-g sample of a metal will cause the temperature of a metal to rise from 25ºC to 35ºC. The specific he
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

b) C = 0.50 J/(g°C)

Explanation:

  • Q = mCΔT

∴ Q = 50 J

∴ m = 10.0 g

∴ ΔT = 35 - 25 = 10 °C

specific heat (C) :

⇒ C = Q / mΔT

⇒ C = 50 J / (10.0 g)(10 °C)

⇒ C = 0.50 J/(g°C)
