Answer:

Because in order to find the average, you need to divide by the number of sites tested. Sometimes that doesn't divide evenly.

For the galvanic (voltaic) cell Fe(s) + Mn2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Mn(s) (E°= 0.77 V at 25°C), what is [Fe2+] if [Mn2+] = 0.040 M and
avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.01836 M

Explanation:

Again the reaction equation is;

Fe(s) + Mn2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Mn(s)

E°cell= 0.77 V

Ecell= 0.78 V

[Mn2+] = 0.040 M

[Fe2+] = the unknown

n=2

From Nernst's equation;

Ecell= E°cell- 0.0592/n log Q

0.78= 0.77 - 0.0592/2 log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.78-0.77= - 0.0592/2 log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.01/ -0.0296= log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

-0.3378= log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

Antilog(-0.3378) = [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.459= [Fe2+] /[0.040]

[Fe2+] = 0.459 × 0.040

[Fe2+] = 0.01836 M

A compound containing chromium, Cr; chlorine, Cl; and oxygen, O, is analyzed and found to be 33.6% chromium, 45.8% chlorine, and
Assoli18 [71]

Answer

The empirical formula is CrO₂Cl₂

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of an atom present in a compound.

The compound contain, Chromium=33.6%

                                         Chlorine=45.8%

                                          Oxygen=20.6%

And the molar mass of Chromium(Cr)=51.996 g mol.

                 Chlorine containing molar mass (Cl)= 35.45    g mol.

                 Oxygen containing molar mass (O)=15.999  g mol.

Step-1

 Then,we will get,

Cr=\frac{1}{51.996} \times33.6=0.64 mol

Cl= \frac{1}{35.45} \times45.8=1.29 mol.

O=\frac{1}{15.99} \times=1.28 mol.

Step-2

Divide the mole value with the smallest number of mole, we will get,

Cr= \frac{0.64}{0.64} =1

Cl= \frac{1.29}{0.64} =2

O= \frac{1.28}{0.64} =2

Then, the empirical formula of the compound is CrO₂Cl₂ (Chromyl chloride)

A 365 L balloon is blown up inside at 283 K. It is then taken outside in the hot sun and Heated to 300K. What is the new volume?
asambeis [7]

V₁ = initial Volume of the balloon after it is blown up = 365 L

V₂ = new Volume of the balloon after it is taken outside = ?

T₁ = initial temperature of the balloon = 283 K

T₂ = new temperature of the balloon = 300 K

using the equation

V₁/V₂ = T₁/T₂

365/V₂ = 283/300

V₂ = 387 L
