Rzqust [24]

Answer:

produces electrical current from electricity. produces electrical current from a nonspontaneous chemical reaction.

Explanation:

An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy. Here, the redox reaction is spontaneous and is responsible for the production of electrical energy. The reaction at the anode is oxidation and that at the cathode is reduction. Here, the anode is positive and the cathode is the negative electrode.

Describe a dinner you would like to eat that includes all the main nutrients, but is low in the nutrients that you should limit.
IceJOKER [234]
The only food that provides all the nutrients that humans need is human milk," Hattner said. "Mother's milk is a complete food. We may add some solid foods to an infant's diet in the first year of life to provide more iron and other nutrients, but there is a little bit of everything in human milk.

I NEED HELP PLEASE! :)<br><br> Describe a limiting reactant in your own words.
koban [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A limiting reactant is the reactant in a reaction that is done reacting first, because there are less moles of it than are needed for a full reaction with the other compound or compounds.

Hope this helps!

What is the coefficient of Ca(OH)2 in the equation Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O when balanced using the smallest possible coe
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Explanation:

Step 1: unbalanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

Step 2: Balancing the equation

On the right side we have 2x N (in Ca(NO3)2 ) and 1x N on the left side (in HNO3). To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply HNO3 by 2.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

On the left side we have 4x H (2xH in Ca(OH)2 and 2x H in HNO3), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side, by 2.

Now the equationis balanced.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 = Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Calculate δg∘rxn and e∘cell for a redox reaction with n = 3 that has an equilibrium constant of k = 4.4×10−2. you may want to re
lapo4ka [179]
a) First, to get ΔG°rxn we have to use this formula when:

ΔG° = - RT ㏑ K 

when ΔG° is Gibbs free energy 

and R is the constant = 8.314 J/mol K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25 °C+ 273 =  298 K 

and when K = 4.4 x 10^-2

so, by substitution:

ΔG°= - 8.314 * 298 *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)

      = -7739 J  = -7.7 KJ


b) then, to get E
° cell for a redox reaction we have to use this formula:

ΔE° Cell = (RT / nF) ㏑K

when R is a constant = 8.314 J/molK

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25°C + 273 = 298 K

and n = no.of moles of e- from the balanced redox reaction= 3

and F is Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol

and K = 4.4 x 10^-2

so, by substitution:

∴ ΔE° cell = (8.314 * 298 / 3* 96485) *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)

              = - 2.7 x 10^-2 V
