The freezing point of a substance is -20°C. Its boiling point is 120°C.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tasya [4]3 years ago

Answer:

a. liquid

b. solid

c. gas, (should be at it's boiling point)

Explanation: If the normal melting point of a substance is below room temperature, the substance is a liquid at room temperature. Benzene melts at 6°C and boils at 80°C; it is a liquid at room temperature. If both the normal melting point and the normal boiling point are above room temperature, the substance is a solid.

How many electrons would be transferred in either a voltaic or electrolytic cell that uses the following half reactions
omeli [17]

Answer:

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

Explanation:

Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V

Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^- \rightarrow Mg (s),E^o = -2.37 V

The substance having highest positive reduction E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

Reduction : cathode

Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V..[1]

Oxidation: anode

Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^-,E^o = 2.37 V..[2]

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{red,cathode}-E^o_{red,anode}

E^o_{cell}=-0.036V-(-2.37 V)=2.334 V

The overall reaction will be:

2 × [1] + 3 × [2] :

2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)+6e^-

Electrons on both sides will get cancelled :

2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

You have a gas stored in a rigid container (fixed volume). Explain the relationship between a decrease in temperature, collision
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

A decrease in temperature would decrease kinetic energy, therefore decreasing collisions possible.

Explanation:

A gas at a fixed volume is going to have collisions automatically. If you decrease the temperature (same thing as decreasing kinetic energy) you are cooling down the molecules in the container which gives them less energy and "relaxes" them. This decrease in energy causes them to move around much slower and causing less collisions, at a much slower rate. In a perfect world, these collisions do not slow down the molecule but we know that they do, just a very very small unmeasurable amount.

Landfills are one source of CO2. As garbage decomposes, it releases CO2 into the air. Can you think of at least
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Recycling and reuse of materials

Explanation:

One of the greatest problems facing the human population is the problem of solid waste disposal. The menace of solid waste disposal has led to the idea of landfills. Land fills are depressions on the earth surface prepared for the purpose of solid waste disposal.

The most important approach towards solid waste disposal is the idea of recycling of materials. A material can be collected after use and processed into the same material or serve as a precursor in another manufacturing process. This means that no waste is generated as the materials which are supposed to be disposed of as solid waste are processed into other useful materials. This will reduce the volume of solid wastes generated that may need to be disposed in a landfill.

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 21 torr at 39.9 degrees C.
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the details, we can say that

Pure methanol is a volatile solvent as the vapour pressure has a high value. This means that methanol - methanol intermolecular forces are weak in comparisson to water - water forces. When having about 30% of water in a methanol mixture, the mixture Pv decreased, showing that it is not a volatile mixture, so then there are strong intermolecular interactions between methanol - water, part of it due to the hydrogen bonds.
