The correct answer is:Some substances keep the same molecular structure when they break down, and others do not.

Some substances change their form when they dissolve and some do not. Dissolution can sometimes be regarded as a sort of reaction between a chemical substance and water.

Usually, we can consider dissolution of a substance in water as a sort of chemical reaction for some substances. For instance, an ionic substance interacts with water to form ions. similarly, some salts become hydrolysed in water and give acidic/basic solutions as result of that.

However, some substances do not interact with water upon dissolution. They rather remain as molecular entities because they are not composed of ions.

We can see that some substances keep the same molecular structure when they break down, and others do not keep the same molecular structure when they dissolve hence it is difficult to classify dissolving as a physical or a chemical change.

What is the reduction potential of a hydrogen electrode that is still at standard pressure, but has ph = 5.65 , relative to the

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{-0.275 V}}$

Explanation:

We must use the Nernst equation

$E = E^{\circ} - \dfrac{RT}{zF} \ln Q$

1. Write the equation for the cell reaction

If you want the reduction potential, the pH 5.65 solution is the cathode, and the cell reaction is

E°/V

Anode: H₂(1 bar) ⇌ 2H⁺(1 mol·L⁻¹) + 2e⁻; 0

Cathode: 2H⁺(pH 5.65) + 2e⁻ ⇌ H₂(1 bar); 0

Overall: 2H⁺ (pH 5.65) ⇌ 2H⁺(1 mol·L⁻¹); 0

Step 2. Calculate E°

(a) Data

E° = 0

R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 25 °C

n = 2

F = 96 485 C/mol

pH = 5.65

Calculations:

T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

$\text{H}^{+} = 10^{\text{-pH}} = 2.24 \times 10^{-5}\text{ mol/\L}\\\\Q = \dfrac{\text{[H}^{+}]_{\text{prod}}^{2}}{\text{[H}^{+}]_{\text{react}}^{2}} = \dfrac{(1.00)^{2}}{(2.24 \times 10^{-5})^{2}} =2.00 \times 10^{9}\\\\\\E = 0 - \left (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298.15 }{2 \times 96485}\right ) \ln{2.00 \times 10^{9}}\\\\= -0.01285 \times 21.41 = \textbf{-0.275 V}\\\text{The cell potential for the cell as written is }\boxed{\textbf{-0.275 V}}$

How many moles of c6h14 contain 9.25 × 1024 molecules of c6h14?

lyudmila [28]

According to Avagadros law 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 × 10^23 particles.
Thus, 1 mole of C6H14 contains 6.02 × 10^ 23 molecules,
Therefore, 9.25 × 10^24 molecules will have;
(9.25 × 10^24)/ (6.02 ×10^23)
= 15.365 moles.

How does the mass of a bowling ball that has been rolled down the lane affect the kinetic energy?

Simora [160]

Answer is: B) The kinetic energy is increasing proportional to the mass of the bowling ball.

Kinetic energy has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has; basically how the object is moving.
