What term is used by scientists to describe the gradual increase in surface temperature of the earth?

1 answer:

6 0

Global warming, the gradual increase of the temperature of the earth's lower atmosphere as a result of the increase in greenhouse gases since the Industrial Revolution. Global warming and its effects, such as more intense summer and winter storms, are also referred to as climate change.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : The value of $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ is, 0.34 V

Explanation :

Here, copper will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Zinc will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode. That means, gold shows reduction and occurs at cathode and chromium shows oxidation and occurs at anode.

The overall balanced equation of the cell is,

$Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

To calculate the $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.10V=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-(-0.76V)$

$E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V$

Hence, the value of $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$ is, 0.34 V

What is the approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.

Explanation:

The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).

Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.
