Answer:

C. An external voltage source

Explanation:

An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy from an external voltage source into chemical energy that drives a reaction.

The external voltage source is usually a battery. This energy form generated from the battery helps to drive chemical reactions.

The process involves the decomposition of an ionic compound by means of current passed into the aqueous or molten form of the compound through conductors known as electrodes.

Please help me. How do I do ideal gas law?
Tcecarenko [31]
The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Diethyl ether is a commonly used solvent for GC analyses because of its low boiling point. In this experiment, why was heptane u
Natali [406]

Answer:

A. Diethyl ether will react with the alkenes that were formed in the experiment.

Explanation:

Ethers such as diethyl ether dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar organic compounds. Nonpolar compounds are generally more soluble in diethyl ether than alcohols because ethers do not have a hydrogen bonding network that must be broken up to dissolve the solute.

The value of Ka for nitrous acid (HNO2) at 25 ∘C is 4.5×10−4 .a. Write the chemical equation for the equilibrium that correspond
kvv77 [185]

Answers and Explanation:

a)- The chemical equation for the corresponden equilibrium of Ka1 is:

2. HNO2(aq)⇌H+(aq)+NO−2

Because Ka1 correspond to a dissociation equilibrium. Nitrous acid (HNO₂) losses a proton (H⁺) and gives the monovalent anion NO₂⁻.

b)- The relation between Ka and the free energy change (ΔG) is given by the following equation:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

Where T is the temperature (T= 25ºc= 298 K) and R is the gases constant (8.314 J/K.mol)

At the equilibrium: ΔG=0 and Q= Ka. So, we can calculate ΔGº by introducing the value of Ka:

⇒ 0 = ΔGº + RT ln Ka

   ΔGº= - RT ln Ka

   ΔGº= -8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (4.5 10⁻⁴)

  ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol

c)- According to the previous demonstation, at equilibrium ΔG= 0.

d)- In a non-equilibrium condition, we have Q which is calculated with the concentrations of products and reactions in a non equilibrium state:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

Q= ((H⁺) (NO₂⁻))/(HNO₂)

Q= ( (5.9 10⁻² M) x (6.7 10⁻⁴ M) ) / (0.21 M)

Q= 1.88 10⁻⁴

We know that   ΔGº= 19092.8 J/mol, so:

ΔG= ΔGº + RT ln Q

ΔG= 19092.8 J/mol + (8.314 J/K.mol x 298 K x ln (1.88 10⁻⁴)

ΔG= -2162.4 J/mol

Notice that ΔG<0, so the process is spontaneous in that direction.

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when excess hydrochloric acid (aq) and potassium sulfite (aq) are combin
Ket [755]

<u>Answer:</u> The net ionic equation for the given reaction is 2H^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+SO_2(g)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are the ions which do not get involved in a chemical equation. It is also defined as the ions that are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid and potassium sulfite is given as:

2HCl(aq.)+K_2SO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq.)+SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

2H^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)+2K^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)+SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

As, potassium and chloride ions are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

2H^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

Hence, the net ionic equation for the given reaction is written above.
