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

How many grams of sucrose (C12H22O11) would be in 8.7 L of a 6.81M solution of sucrose
VladimirAG [237]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 20,280.25 g or 20.28 Kg

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Number of moles, n = Molarity × Volume

Molarity = 6.81 M

Volume = 8.7 L

Number of moles = 6.81 × 8.7

                             = 59.247 moles

Mass = Moles × Molar mass

         = 59.247 ×  34.2 g/mol

          = 20,280.25 or

          = 20.28 Kg

Write the equilibrium constant expression for the following reaction in terms of concentrations of the components. (Concentratio
timofeeve [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The expression for equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is K_c=[CO_2]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficients. It is represented by K_{c}

For a general chemical reaction:

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

The K_{c} is written as:

K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1.

For the given chemical reaction:

MgCO_3(s)\rightarrow MgO(s)+CO_2(g)

The expression for K_{c} is:

K_{c}=\frac{[MgO][CO_2]}{[MgCO_3]}

In the above expression, magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate will not appear because they are present in solid state.

So, the expression for K_c becomes:

K_{c}=[CO_2]

Hence, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is given above.

What are the characteristics of non-ideal solutions? a. The solute-solute and solvent- solvent interaction is different fromm th
finlep [7]

Answer:All the above

Explanation:

Non-ideal solutions are those solutions which do not obey Raoult's law in any conditions.

The molecular interactions of two components that is solute and solvent  are different.

If there are two components A and B then the molecular interaction between A-A,B-B would be different from the molecular interactions in A-B .

The enthalpy of mixing and volume of mixing for non-ideal solutions have  non zero values.

Enthalpy of mixing can be negative or positive in case of non-ideal solutions. If the enthalpy of mixing is negative so energy has been  released upon mixing the two components and if enthalpy of mixing is positive then energy is absorbed upon mixing the two components.

Non-ideal solutions are simply those solutions which are not ideal hence they should not be having the characterstics of ideal solutions.

For ideal solutions the molecular interactions between  the two components are equal.

So the molecular interaction between A-A,B-B  would be equal to the molecular interaction between A-B. Also the enthalpy of mixing and volume of mixing for ideal solutions are zero hence all the statements provided here are correctly charactersing non-ideal solutions.

Help pls thnk you!!!!
Degger [83]
The amine here is the easiest to spot since there’s only one structure that has a nitrogen atom, which would be the first (the first structure is a primary amine).

The distinguishing functional group of an alcohol is the hydroxy group (—OH). Both the second and third structures have an —OH group, but the —OH in the third structure is part of a carboxyl group (—COOH or —C(=O)OH). A carboxyl group takes priority over hydroxy group. Thus, the second structure would be an alcohol and the third structure would be a carboxylic acid.

That leaves us with the fourth structure, a hydrocarbon with a halogen substitutent, or, aptly named, a halocarbon.

What is the molecule polarity of SiCl4????
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Silicon Tetrachloride:Explanation:

Silicon tetrachloride has the formula SiCl4. It is a covalent compound, which means that electrons are shared between the silicon atom and the chlorine atoms. The bond angles between the chlorine atoms and the silicon depend on the molecule's shape.
