Answer:

2.71 V

Explanation:

Usually in the cell notation, the left side shows oxidation. So,  

Oxidation half reaction:

Mg_{(s)}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}_{(aq)}+2e^-    E^o_{ox}=-E^o_{red}=-(-2.37\ V)=2.37\ V

Reduction half reaction:

Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu_{(s)}    E^o_{red}=0.34\ V

Overall reaction:

Mg_{(s)}+Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}_{(aq)}+Cu_{(s)}

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{ox}+E^o_{red}= (2.37+0.34)\ V=2.71\ V

Which of the following correctly describes a compound?
Nutka1998 [239]

A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.


A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.


The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.


Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.


They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).

In one experiment, the reaction of 1.00 mercury and an excess of sulfur yielded 1.16g of a sulfide of mercury
Nuetrik [128]

<u>Answer and Explanation:</u>

Mercury combines with sulfur as follows -

Hg + S = HgS

Hg = 200,59

S = 32,066 Therefore 1.58 g of Hg will react with -

1.58 multiply with 32,066 divide by 200,96 of sulfur.

= 0.25211 g S

This will form 1.58 + 0.25211 g HgS  = 1.83211 g HgS

The amount of S remaining = 1.10 - 0.25211  = 0.84789 g
