Chemistry

1 answer:

Hoochie [10]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Cathode: Mn → Mn²⁺ + 2e⁻ (Oxidation)

Anode: Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Zn (Reduction)

Mn | Mn²⁺ || Zn²⁺ | Zn

Explanation:

To identify the half reaction we need to see the oxidation states.

Mn(s) → Ground state → Oxidation state = 0

Mn(NO₃)₂ → Mn²⁺ → The oxidation state has increased.

This is the oxidation reaction. It has released two electrons:

Mn → Mn²⁺ + 2e⁻

Zn(NO₃)₂ → Zn²⁺

Zn → Ground state → The oxidation state was decreased.

This is the reduction reaction. It has gained two electrons:

Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Zn

Cathode: Mn → Mn²⁺ + 2e⁻

Anode: Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Zn

Mn | Mn²⁺ || Zn²⁺ | Zn

What is the molar mass of a gas if a flask with a volume of 3. 16 l contains 9. 33 grams of the gas at 32. 0°c and 1. 00 atm?

Serhud [2]

The molar mass of a gas if a flask with a volume of 3. 16 L contains 9. 33 grams of the gas at 32. 0°C and 1. 00 atm is 1.17g/mol

Calculation ,

In this question we have to fist find the number of moles of gas by using ideal gas equation and from the help of number of moles we can determine molar mass.

According to ideal gas equation which is also known as ideal law ,

PV = nRT ...( i )

where P is the pressure of the gas = 1 atm

V is the volume of the gas in the flask with volume = 3. 16 L

R is the universal gas constant = 0.082 atm L/K mol

T is the temperature = 32. 0°C = 32 + 273 = 305 K

n is the number of moles = ?

Putting the value of Pressure P , volume V , temperature T , number of moles n and universal gas constant R in the equation (i) we get ,

1 atm ×3. 16 L = n× 0.082 atm L/K mol ×305 K

n = 1 atm ×3. 16 L / 0.082 atm L/K mol × 305 K = 0.126 mole

number of mole of a gas = 0.126 mole = given mass/ molar mass

molar mass = number of moles × Given mass = 0.126 × 9. 33 = 1.17g/mol

7. Write a formula for each of the following:

sergeinik [125]

Answer : The formula for each of the following is:

(a) $C_{22}H_{46}$

(b) $C_{17}H_{34}$

(c) $C_{13}H_{24}$

Explanation :

Alkanes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with single covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkanes is $C_n H_{2n+2}$ where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkane.

Alkenes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with double covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkenes is $C_n H_{2n}$ where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkene.

Alkynes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with triple covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkynes is $C_n H_{2n-2}$ where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkyne.

(a) An alkane with 22 carbon atoms

Putting n = 22 in the general formula of alkane, we get the formula of alkane as, $C_{22}H_{2(22)+2}$ or $C_{22}H_{46}$

(b) An alkene with 17 carbon atoms

Putting n = 17 in the general formula of alkene, we get the formula of alkene as, $C_{17}H_{2(17)}$ or $C_{17}H_{34}$

(c) An alkyne with 13 carbon atoms

Putting n = 13 in the general formula of alkyne, we get the formula of alkyne as, $C_{13}H_{2(13)-2}$ or $C_{13}H_{24}$

PLEASE HELP!!

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. 211.7

Explanation:

Iron Pyrite reacts with Oxygen to produce Iron (II) Oxide and Sulphur (IV) Oxide.

The equation is as follows:

4FeS₂₍s₎ + 11O₂₍g₎ → 2Fe₂O₃₍s₎ + 8SO₂₍g₎

From the equation, 4 moles of FeS₂ produce 8 moles of SO₂.

Therefore the reaction ratio is 4:8 or 1:2

198.20 grams of FeS₂ into moles is calculated as follows:

Moles= Mass/RMM

RMM of FeS₂ is 119.9750g/mol.

Number of moles = 198.20/119.9750g/mol

=1.652 moles of FeS₂

The reaction ratio of FeS₂ to SO₂ produced is 1:2

Thus SO₂ produced = 1.652 moles×2/1=3.304 moles

The mass of SO₂ produced =Moles ×RMM

=3.304 moles ×64.0638 g/mol

=211.667 grams

=211.7g

Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the

sergejj [24]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.
Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.
Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Surface tension is measured as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid by a unit of area. The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules.
A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions, while a molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
Surface tension decreases when temperature increases because cohesive forces decrease with an increase of molecular thermal activity.

3690 J of heat are added to a 21.5 g sample

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

693K

Explanation:

The enthalpy change in the iron is 3690J

We now apply the formula for enthalpy change which is ΔH=mC∅ where ∅ is the temperature change, m the mass of the substance, and C the specific heat capacity for the substance.

ΔH in this case is 3690J.

Therefore 3690J=21.5g×0.449J/g.K×∅

as we are looking for ∅, we make it the subject of the formula.

∅=3690J/(21.5g×0.44J/g)

∅=390

Temperature=30°C +390

=420°+273

=693K
