Answer:

Beryllium-8 (8Be, Be-8) is a radionuclide with 4 neutrons and 4 protons. It is an unbound resonance and nominally an isotope of beryllium. It decays into two alpha particles with a half-life on the order of 10−16 seconds; this has important ramifications in stellar nucleosynthesis as it creates a bottleneck in the creation of heavier chemical elements. The properties of 8Be have also led to speculation on the fine tuning of the Universe, and theoretical investigations on cosmological evolution had 8Be been stable.

An electrochemical cell is powered by the half reactions shown below.
andrezito [222]
Reduction reactions are those reactions that reduce the oxidation number of a substance. Hence, the product side of the reaction must contain excess electrons. The opposite is true for oxidation reactions. When you want to determine the potential difference expressed in volts between the cathode and anode, the equation would be: E,reduction - E,oxidation. 

To cancel out the electrons, the e- in the reactions must be in opposite sides. To do this, you reverse the equation with the negative E0, then replacing it with the opposite sign. 

Pb(s) --> Pb2+ +2e-      E0 = +0.13 V
Ag+ + e-  ---> Ag           E0 = +0.80 V

Adding up the E0's would yield an overall electric cell potential of +0.93 V.

What is the molar concentration of 35 mL of H2SO4 that neutralizes 25 mL of 0.320M NaOH
stira [4]
V ( H2SO4) = 35 mL / 1000 => 0.035 L

M ( H2SO4) = ?

V ( NaOH ) = 25 mL / 1000 => 0.025 L 

M ( NaOH ) = 0.320 M

number of moles NaOH:

n = M x V

n = 0.025 x 0.320 => 0.008 moles of NaOH

Mole ratio:

<span>2 NaOH + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2 H2O
</span>
2 moles NaOH ---------------------- 1 mole H2SO4
0.008 moles moles NaOH ---------- ??

0.008 x 1 / 2 => 0.004 moles of H2SO4 :

Therefore:

M ( H2SO4) = n / V

M = 0.004 /  0.035

= 0.114 M

hope this helps!
