Use the following half-reactions to write three spontaneous reactions, calculate E°cell for each reaction, and rank the oxidizin

g and reducing agents for each reaction. (Type your answer using the format [NH4]+ for NH4+, [Mg]2+ for Mg2+, and CO2 for CO2. Don't specify physical states. Use the lowest possible coefficients.) (1) Au+(aq) + e- Au(s) E° = 1.69 V (2) N2O(g) + 2 H+(aq) + 2 e- N2(g) + H2O(l) E° = 1.77 V (3) Cr3+(aq) + 3 e- Cr(s) E° = -0.74 V

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

1)

we know that

half cell with higher reduction potential is cathode

so

cathode :

N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20

anode :

Cr(s) ---> Cr+3 + 3e-

so

overall reaction is

3 N20 + 6H+ + 2 Cr ---> 3N2 + 3H20 + 2Cr+3

now

Eo cell = Eo cathode - Eo anode

so

EO cell = 1.77 + 0.74

Eo cell = 2.51 V

now

in this case

oxidizing agents are N20 and Cr+3

reducing agents are Cr and N2

higher the reduction potential , stronger the oxidizing agent

lower the reduction potential , stronger the reducing agent

so

oxidzing agents

N20 > Cr+3

reducing agents

Cr > N2

2)

cathode :

Au+ + e- --> Au

anode :

Cr ---> Cr+3 + 3e-

overall reaction

3Au+ + Cr ---> 3Au + Cr+3

Eo cell = 1.69 + 0.74

Eo cell = 2.43

now

oxidizing agents :

Au+ > Cr+3

reducing agents :

Cr > Au

3)

cathode :

N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20

andoe :

Au ---> Au+ + e-

overall

2 Au + N20 + 2H+ --> 2 Au+ + N2 + H20

Eo cell = 1.77 - 1.69

Eo cell = 0.08

oxidizing agents

N20 > Au+

reducing agents

Au > N2

Calculate the number of hydrogen atoms in 33.0 g CH4
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The number of hydrogen atoms is 4.96x10²⁴.

 

Explanation:

The number of atoms can be found with the following equation:

n = N*\eta_{H}

Where:

N: is the Avogadro's number = 6.022x10²³ atoms/mol

η: is the number of moles of hydrogen

n: is the number of hydrogen atoms

First, we need to find the number of hydrogen moles. The number of moles of CH₄ is:

\eta_{CH_{4}} = \frac{m}{M}

Where:

m: is the mass of methane = 33 g

M: is the molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mol                      

\eta_{CH_{4}} = \frac{33 g}{16.04 g/mol} = 2.06 mol

Now, since we have 4 hydrogen atoms in 1 mol of methane, the number of moles of hydrogen is:

\eta_{H} = 2.06\: mol\: CH_{4}*4 \frac{mol\: H}{mol \: CH_{4}} = 8.24 mol

Hence, the number of hydrogen atoms is:

n = N*\eta_{H} = 6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \: atoms/mol*8.24 mol = 4.96 \cdot 10^{24} atoms

Therefore, the number of hydrogen atoms is 4.96x10²⁴.

I hope it helps you!

Metallic pan is provided with a wooden plastic handle give reason​
AlladinOne [14]

The metallic pan iis most likely going to be used on a stove.

The stove is heating something, and the conductive metallic pan will, well, conduct that heat throughout the entire body of the pan. Doing this will spread the heat to the handle, burning your hands.

Both wood and plastic are insulators, and they do not conduct heat or electricity. They will insulate your hands and protect them from the heat.

What kind of electrical charges do protons,electrons, and neutrons have?​
Vinil7 [7]

<em><u>Protons</u></em><em><u> = Positive Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em><em><u> = Neutral Charge/No Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Electrons</u></em><em><u> = Negative Charge</u></em>

<em>This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.</em>

<u><em>Protons</em></u>

<em>Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.</em>

<em />

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em>

<em>Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Electrons</em></u>

<em>Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.</em>
