Answer:

As the level of carbon dioxide in the blood increases, more H+ is produced and the pH decreases. This increase in carbon dioxide and subsequent decrease in pH reduce the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. The oxygen dissociates from the Hb molecule, shifting the oxygen dissociation curve to the right.

How many liters of hydrogen (at 0.97atm and 24c) will produce 180 grams of water

slava [35]

H₂ + ½O₂ → H₂O

2g → 18g

So, 18g water needs 2g H₂

So, 1g water needs 2/18g H₂

So, 180g water needs 2/18 x 180g H₂

→ 20 litres of H₂

What always happens during a chemical change?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change.

The standard emf for the cell using the overall cell reaction below is +2.20 V:

ANEK [815]

Answer:

emf generated by cell is 2.32 V

Explanation:

Oxidation: $2Al-6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}$

Reduction: $3I_{2}+6e^{-}\rightarrow 6I^{-}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall: $2Al+3I_{2}\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}+6I^{-}$

Nernst equation for this cell reaction at $25^{0}\textrm{C}$ -

$E_{cell}=E_{cell}^{0}-\frac{0.059}{n}log{[Al^{3+}]^{2}[I^{-}]^{6}}$

where n is number of electrons exchanged during cell reaction, $E_{cell}^{0}$ is standard cell emf , $E_{cell}$ is cell emf , $[Al^{3+}]$ is concentration of $Al^{3+}$ and $[Cl^{-}]$ is concentration of $Cl^{-}$
