Explain how the solubility of water is useful in maintaining various life processes.

Radda [10]

Water's extensive capability to dissolve a variety of molecules has earned it the designation of “universal solvent,” and it is this ability that makes water such an invaluable life-sustaining force. On a biological level, water's role as a solvent helps cells transport and use substances like oxygen or nutrients.

The low-grade iron ore taconite, which contains Fe3O4, is concentrated and made into pellets for processing. If one ton of tacon

xenn [34]

Answer: The percent composition of $Fe_3O_4$ in taconite is 37.6 %.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of taconite pellets = 1 ton = 907185 g (Conversion factor: 1 ton = 907185 g)

Mass of iron produced = 545 lb = 247212 g (Conversion factor: 1 lb = 453.6 g )

We know that:

Molar mass of iron = 55.85 g/mol

Molar mass of $Fe_3O_4$ = 231.53 g/mol

1 mole of $Fe_3O_4$ contains 3 moles of iron atom and 4 moles of oxygen atom

(3 × 55.85) = 167.55 g of iron is produced from 231.53 grams of $Fe_3O_4$

So, 247212 grams of iron will be produced from = $\frac{231.53}{167.55}\times 247212=341611.43g$ of $Fe_3O_4$

To calculate the percentage of $Fe_3O_4$ in taconite, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of }Fe_3O_4=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe_3O_4}{\text{Mass of taconite}}\times 100$

Mass of taconite = 907185 g

Mass of $Fe_3O_4$ = 341611.43 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of }Fe_3O_4=\frac{341611.43g}{907185g}\times 100=37.6\%$

Hence, the percent composition of $Fe_3O_4$ in taconite is 37.6 %.

A chemist designs a galvanic cell that uses these two half-reactions: half-reaction standard reduction potential (s)(aq)(aq)(l)

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Reduction (cathode): Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s)

Oxidation (anode): Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻

Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + Zn(s) → Cu(s) + Zn²⁺(⁺aq)

E°cell = 1.10 V

Explanation:

The half-reactions are missing, but I will propose some to show you the general procedure and then you can apply it to your equations.

Suppose we have the following half-reactions.

Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s) E°red = 0.34 V

Zn²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ → Zn(s) E°red = -0.76 V

To identify how to make a spontaneous cell, we need to consider the standard reduction potentials (E°red). The half-reaction with the higher E°red will occur as a reduction (in the cathode), whereas the one with the lower E°red will occur as an oxidation (in the anode).

Reduction (cathode): Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s) E°red = 0.34 V

Oxidation (anode): Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(⁺aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = -0.76 V

To get the overall equation we add both half-reactions.

Cu²⁺(⁺aq) + Zn(s) → Cu(s) + Zn²⁺(⁺aq)

The standard cell potential (E°cell) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E°cell = E°red, cat - E°red, an

E°cell = 0.34 V - (-0.76 V) = 1.10 V

Since E°cell > 0, the reaction is spontaneous.
