Moles are used conveniently in chemistry especially in stoichiometric calculations involving reactions. The unit of mole is a collective term that holds 6.022×10^23 particles. These particles is a general term for any small units of matter including molecules, atoms and sub-particles. This ratio of 6.022×10^23 particles to 1 mole is known to be the Avogadro's number. Its exact number is actually <span>6.0221409</span>×10^23. We use this constant in our stoichiometric calculation as follows:
15 moles oxygen * (6.022×10^23 molecules/ 1 mole oxygen) = 9.033×10^24 molecules of oxygen
The answer is 23, 040 minutes. To solve this you can start by changing days in to hours. We know that there are 24 hours in a day. To find how many hours are in 16 days you multiply 24 by 16 which is 384. Next you must find out how many minutes are in 384 hours. we know there are 60 minutes per hour. To find how many minutes are in 384 hours, you multiply 384 by 60. To this you get 23, 040 which is your answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.
The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:
Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:
The net equation is then:
However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:
Actual anode half-equation:
Actual cathode half-equation:
Actual net reaction:
