Electrolysis is used in the electroplating of metals. The same amount of current is passed through separate aqueous solutions of

CuSO4, Sn(SO4)2 and Cr2(SO4)3 in separate electrolytic cells for the same amount of time. State and explain which cell would deposit the greatest amount (in mol) of metal. Identify the electrode at which the metal is deposited.

Answer:

CuSO4 cell will have the greatest amount of deposit among all three. The deposit will occur at the cathode

Explanation:

The valence of the elements in this case is as follows -

Cu - 2e-

Sn - 4e-

Cr - 3e-

CuSO4 cell will have the greatest amount of deposit among all three

The atoms of copper metal will deposit at the cathode. At the cathode, the least number of moles of electrons needed .

Hence, more amount of copper  can be extracted out by the electrolyte

A material has a volume of 63.0 cm3 and a mass of 28 grams.  What is the density of the material in g/cm3 to the correct number
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

0.4444 g/cm³ ≅ 0.44 g/cm³ (2 significant figures).

Explanation:

  • Knowing that:

<em>d = m/V,</em>

where, d is the density of the material (g/cm³).

m is the mass of the material (m = 28 g).

V is the volume of the material (V = 63.0 cm³).

<em>∴ d = m/V </em>= (28 g)/(63.0 cm³) = <em>0.4444 g/cm³ ≅ 0.44 g/cm³ (2 significant figures).</em>

if an object has a mass of 60 grams in a volume of 120 cm3 then calculate the density would this object sink or float
Ivanshal [37]

Answer: 0.5 g/cm^3

Density equals mass divided by volume so..

60/120 is 0.5 g/cm^3

The activation energy for proline isomerization of a peptide depends on the identity of the preceding residue and obeys Arrheniu
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation-     k=Ae^{\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}}    , where k is rate constant, A is pre-exponential factor, E_{a} is activation energy, R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

As A is identical for both peptide therefore-

                                   \frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=e^\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-E_{a}^{ala-pro}]}{RT}

Here \frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=\frac{0.05}{0.005} , T = 298 K , R = 8.314 J/(mol.K) and E_{a}^{ala-pro}=60kJ/mol

So, \frac{0.05}{0.005}=e^{\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-(60000J/mol)]}{8.314J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}\times 298K}}

   \Rightarrow E_{a}^{phe-pro}=65705J/mol=66kJ/mol (rounded off to two significant digit)

So, activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol

21. What is happening in terms of energy and attractive/repulsive forces when atoms come together and
muminat

Answer:

So A covalent bond consists of the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms. These electrons are simultaneously attracted by the two atomic nuclei. A covalent bond forms when the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is too small for an electron transfer to occur to form ions.

Explanation:

words to know: covalent bond, electronegativities, and simultaneously

Covalent Bond: A chemical bond formed when electrons are shared between two atoms. Usually each atom contributes one electron to form a pair of electrons that are shared by both atoms.

Electronegativities: the degree to which an element tends to gain electrons and form negative ions in chemical reactions.

Simultaneously: at the same time.

hope this helps!

Why is cyanide lethal? What dose it do once inside the body?
OLga [1]
In large doses it stops cells using oxygen causing these cells to die. So in a small amount it would not kill you. So lets say cyanide is inside the body it would kill off all the cells and your body would not be able to function causing death
