Why does it matter if atoms are divisible ???

Atoms are divisible contrary to the early beliefs that the smallest "indivisible" matter is an atom. When an atom loses its identity it means that they are divisible. Atoms chemically react with other kinds of atoms thus changing their activity.

They certainly are not that important to our lives, but it’s good to know :)

Annette [7]

Answer: Zn(s)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow ZnSO_4+Cu

Explanation:-

Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

As zinc is more reactive than copper, it could easily displace copper from its aqueous solution and thus leads to formation of zinc (II) sulfate and pure copper.

The chemical reaction can be represented as :

Zn(s)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow ZnSO_4+Cu

The phases are represented as (s) for solid sate, (l) for liquid state, (g) for gaseous state and (aq) for aqueous state.

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: <span>Ni^2+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) ----> + Ni (s) + S (s) 

The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
    </span>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: <span>Pb^2+ (aq) +H2 (g) ----> Pb (s) +2H^+ (aq)
</span>
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: <span>2Ag^+ (aq) + Cr(s) ---> 2 Ag (s) +Cr^2+ (aq)
</span>
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

Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen) at 0.959 atm and 298 K. Upon combusting t
Masja [62]

Answer:

Molecular formula of hydrocarbon is: C₂H₆

Explanation:

The combusting of the hydrocarbon:

CxHy + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Using gas law to obtain molar mass of the gas mixture (CO₂ + H₂O):

P/RT = n/V

Where:

P is pressure (1,208 atm)

R is gas constant (0,082 atmL/molK)

T is temperature (375 K)

n/V = 0,0393 mol/L

1,1128 g/L ÷ 0,0393 mol/L = 28,32 g/mol

Thus, average molecular weight is:

28,32 g/mol = 44,01 g/mol X + 18,02 g/mol Y

1 = X + Y

Where X is CO₂ molar percentage and Y is H₂O molar percentage.

Solving:

X = 0,397

Y = 0,603

39,7% H₂O

60,3% CO₂

With this proportion you can obtain ratio CO₂:H₂O thus:

60,3/39,7 = 1,52 So, 2 CO₂: 3H₂O

The moles of the hydrocarbon are:

PV/RT = n

P (0,959 atm)

V ( 1/5 of final volume)

T (298K)

n = 7,85x10⁻³ mol

The moles of CO₂ are:

0,0393 mol × 2 mol CO₂/ 5 mol total =0,01572.

Ratio of CO₂:CxHY =

0,01572 : 7,85x10⁻³ 2 CO₂: 1 CxHY

Doing:

1 CxHy + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

By mass balance:

1 C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂  → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

Thus, molecular formula of hydrocarbon is: <em>C₂H₆ </em>

I hope it helps!

Marshall determines that a gas has a gauge pressure of 276 kpa what's the absolute pressure of the gas
omeli [17]
A gauge records the pressure over atmospheric pressure (0kpa on the gauge is actually the atmospheric pressure and a reading of 276kpa is 276kpa over atmospheric pressure). That means that means that to find absolute pressure you just add atmospheric pressure (around 1atm (101kpa)) to 286kpa to get 387kpa. I hope this helps.
