Summarize the relationship between an electron's energy level and its location in an atom

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The further an electron is from the nucleus. the greater its energy level.

Explanation:

When an electron is close to the nucleus, it is at as low an energy level as it can get.

We must put energy into an electron to pull it away from the attraction of a nucleus.

So, electrons that are further from the nucleus are at higher energy levels.

Based on the sign of E cell, classify these reactions as spontaneous or non spontaneous as written.? assume standard conditions.

sammy [17]

A electrochemical reaction is said to be spontaneous, if $E^{0} cell is positive.$

Answer 1:
Consider reaction: Ni^2+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) ----> + Ni (s) + S (s)

The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
 $S^{2-}/S // Ni^{2+}/Ni$

Hence, $E^{0}cell = E^{0} Ni^{2+/Ni} - E^{0} S/S^{2-}$
we know that, ${E^{0} Ni^{2+}/Ni = -0.25 v$
and ${E^{0} S/ S^{2-} = -0.47 v$

Therefore, $E^{0} cell$ = - 0.25 - (-0.47) = 0.22 v

Since, $E^{0} cell$ is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous

Answer 2:
Consider reaction: Pb^2+ (aq) +H2 (g) ----> Pb (s) +2H^+ (aq)

The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
 $H_{2} / H^{+} // Pb^{2+} /Pb$

Hence, $E^{0}cell = E^{0} Pb/Pb^{2+} - E^{0} H_{2}/H^{+}$
we know that, ${E^{0} Pb^{2+}/Pb = -0.126 v$
and ${E^{0} H_{2}/ H^{+} = -0 v$

Therefore, $E^{0} cell$ = - 0.126 - 0 = -0.126 v

Since, $E^{0} cell$ is negative, hence cell reaction is non-spontaneous.

....................................................................................................................

Answer 3:
Consider reaction: 2Ag^+ (aq) + Cr(s) ---> 2 Ag (s) +Cr^2+ (aq)

The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
 $Cr/Cr^{2+} // Ag^{+}/Ag$

Hence, $E^{0}cell = E^{0} Ag^{+}/Ag - E^{0} Cr/Cr^{2+}$
we know that, ${E^{0} Ag^{+}/Ag = -0.22 v$
and ${E^{0} Cr/ Cr^{2+} = -0.913 v$

Therefore, $E^{0} cell$ = - 0.22 - (-0.913) = 0.693 v

Since, $E^{0} cell$ is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous

From what materials are fossil fuels made?

Temka [501]

Answer:

It is buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.

Answer:

A. Plants

Explanation:

Plants are producers, which make their own food. Other organisms, such as rodents, birds, and wild cats, are consumers, which receive their energy from plants or other consumers.
