Which element do all organic compounds contain?

A chemist designs a galvanic cell that uses these two half-reactions:

Nonamiya [84]

Answer :

(a) Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+4e^-$

(b) Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O$

(c) $O_2+4H^++4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 2H_2O+4Fe^{3+}$

(d) Yes, we have have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions.

Explanation :

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+e^-$ $E^0_{anode}=+0.771V$

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O$ $E^0_{cathode}=+1.23V$

To balance the electrons we are multiplying oxidation reaction by 4 and then adding both the reaction, we get:

Part (a):

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+4e^-$ $E^0_{anode}=+0.771V$

Part (b):

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O$ $E^0_{cathode}=+1.23V$

Part (c):

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$O_2+4H^++4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 2H_2O+4Fe^{3+}$

Part (d):

Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

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

$E^o=(1.23V)-(0.771V)=+0.459V$

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the standard electrode potential must be positive.

So, we have have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions.

Organic chemistry is the study of compounds containing

ratelena [41]

<span>Question: Organic chemistry is the study of compounds containing?

Answer: (A) Carbon Organic chemistry is the study of compounds that contain the element carbon, or the study of carbon-containing molecules and the compounds they form. An entire branch of chemistry (carbon chemistry) is dedicated to this subject. Which means carbon is quite important, after all it is the central element to all living organisms. It is the basis to all life on earth. By studying carbon and Organic compounds together scientists can learn more about life, the human body, and how it works!</span>

The labeled diagram is given in the image attached.

As it can be seen from the image that freezing is when energy is removed from the system at 0 ⁰ while melting is when energy is added at 0⁰.

Also when energy is added at 100⁰C, it causes boiling while when it is removed at 100⁰C, it causes condensation.

Melting point of water is 0⁰C while boiling point is 100⁰C
