The pH of the standard hydrogen electrode that has electrode potential of -0.128 V  is 4.3.

The equation of the hydrogen electrode is;

2H^+(aq) + 2e ⇄ H2(g)

The standard electrode potential of hydrogen is 0.00 V

Using the Nernst equation;

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q

Now;

E°cell = 0.00 V

n = 2

Q = 1/[H^+]

-0.128 = 0.00 - 0.0592/2 log  1/[H^+]

-0.128 = 0.00 - 0.0296 log 1/[H^+]

 -0.128 =  - 0.0296 log 1/[H^+]

-0.128/  - 0.0296  =  log 1/[H^+]

1/[H^+] = Antilog (4.32)

[H^+] = 4.79 × 10^-5

Now;

pH = -log[H^+]

pH = -log (4.79 × 10^-5)

pH = 4.3

What volume of a 2.25 M sodium chloride solution will contain 4.58 moles of sodium chloride
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Option E. 2.04 L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Molarity of NaCl = 2.25 M

Mole of NaCl = 4.58 moles

Volume =..?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole /Volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the volume of the solution as follow:

Molarity = mole /Volume

2.25 = 4.58/volume

Cross multiply

2.25 x volume = 4.58

Divide both side by 2.25

Volume = 4.58/2.25

Volume = 2.04 L

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 2.04 L

Would aluminum be as useful as food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point? Explain your answer.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The correct answers are as follows:

1. Aluminium will not be useful as food wrapping if it has a much lower melting point.

Aluminum is a metallic element that is malleable and soft, thus, it is easy to beat it into thin sheet, which are used to package food. The thin sheet is called aluminium foil. Aluminum is useful as a food wrapping because it has high temperature and thus, it does not react with food (the hotness of the packaged food is not capable of melting the metal). If the melting point of aluminium is lower, this implies that little temperature, such as the one from hot food will be able to melt aluminum foil, thus allowing the food to be contaminated with the metal.

2. When bleach react with fabric dye chemical change occur in the fabric.

The major element in bleach is chlorine. When laundry bleach is added to a fabric, the chlorine component of the bleach will react with the fabric dye and cause a colour change in the fabric. This type of change is called chemical change, because the original colour of the fabric can not be recovered.

3. Every substance has specific properties, which can be used to identify it. Two of such specific properties are melting point and boiling point. Melting point refers to a specific temperature at which a solid substance will melt while boiling point refers to a specific temperature at which a liquid substance will boil and turn to steam.

Water for instance has a boiling point of 100 degree Celsius. To find out if an unknown substance is water, one can determine the boiling point of such liquid. A boiling point of 100 degree Celsius will strongly signify that the substance is probably water. The same thing applies to melting point. If the specific boiling and melting point of substances are known, then they can be used to identify them.

If someone was falling through the sky, would time go faster or slower than someone on land?
mestny [16]
As such, all objects free fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. Because the 9.8 N/kg gravitational field at Earth's surface causes a 9.8 m/s/s acceleration of any object placed there, we often call this ratio the acceleration of gravity.

The time is the same it just feels faster because your literally falling from the sky and since your scared it will either go by slower or faster

4. A 0.51 kg solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide. Calculate the W/W concentration
anzhelika [568]

Taking into account the definition of percentage composition, the percent composition of potassium iodide in this sample is 0.017%.

<h3>Definition of percent composition </h3>

The Percentage Composition is a measure of the amount of mass that an element occupies in a compound and indicates the percentage by mass of each element that is part of a compound.

To calculate the percentage of composition, it is necessary to know the mass of the element in a known mass of the compound.

<h3>Percentage Composition in this case</h3>

In this case, you know that a 0.51 kg (or 510000 mg, being 1 kg= 1000000 mg) solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide.

Dividing the mass amount of potassium iodide present in the compound by the mass of the sample and multiplying it by 100 to obtain a percentage value, the percentage composition of potassium iodide is obtained:

percentage composition of potassium iodide=\frac{87 mg}{510000 mg} x100

<u><em>percentage composition of potassium iodide= 0.017%</em></u>

Finally, the percent composition of potassium iodide in this sample is 0.017%.

Explain how CO2 is absorbed into the ocean of H2O
Dmitrij [34]
The ocean absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere wherever air meets water. Wind causes waves, giving more opportunity for the water to absorb the carbon dioxide.
