Answer:

Explanation:

 The Ce metal has electronic configuration as follows

[Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²

After losing 4 electrons , it gains noble gas configuration ,. So Ce ⁺⁴ is stable.

Eu  has electronic configuration as follows

[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷6s²

[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷

Its outermost orbit contains 2 electrons so  Eu²⁺ is stable. Its +3 oxidation state is also stable.

Ce⁺²

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6H2O + 6CO2
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

24e⁻ are transferred by the reaction of respiration.

Explanation:

C₆H₁₂O₆   +  6O₂   →   6 H₂O   +  6CO₂

This is the reaction for the respiration process.

In this redox, oxygen acts with 0 in the oxidation state on the reactant side, and -2 in the product side -  REDUCTION

Carbon acts with 0 in the glucose (cause it is neutral), on the reactant side and it has +4, on the product side - OXIDATION

6C →  6C⁴⁺  +  24e⁻

In reactant side we have a neutral carbon, so as in the product side we have a carbon with +4, it had to lose 4e⁻ to get oxidized, but we have 6 carbons, so finally carbon has lost 24 e⁻

6O⁻² +  6O₂  + 24e⁻  →  6O₂²⁻  +  6O⁻²

In reactant side, we have 6 oxygen from the glucose (oxidation state of -2) and the diatomic molecule, with no charge (ground state), so in the product side, we have the oxygen from the dioxide with -2 and the oxygen from the water, also with -2 at the oxidation state. Finally the global charge for the product side is -36, and in reactant side is -12, so it has to win 24 e⁻ (those that were released by the C) to be reduced.

Using the following thermochemical equation, determine the amount of heat produced from the combustion of 24.3 g benzene (C6H6).
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

ΔH = -976.5 kJ

Explanation:

For the reaction given, there are 2 moles of benzene (C6H6). The heat of this reaction is -6278 kJ, which means that the combustion of 2 moles of benzene will lose 6278 kJ of heat. It is an exothermic reaction.

The value of ΔH, the enthalpy, is a way of measurement of the heat, and it depends on the quantity of the matter (number of moles).

So, 24.3 g of benzene has :

n = mass/ molar mass

n = 24.3/78.11

n = 0.311 moles

2 moles ------------ -6278 kJ

0.311 moles ----------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

2x = -1953.08

x = -976.5 kJ

A 5.00 L sample of helium expands to 12.0 L at which point the
mina [271]

Answer:

1.73 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of helium = 5.00 L

Final volume of helium = 12.0 L

Final pressure = 0.720 atm

Initial pressure = ?

Solution:

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ × 5.00 L = 0.720 atm × 12.0 L

P₁ = 8.64 atm. L/5 L

P₁ = 1.73 atm

What is the volume of 43.7 g of helium at stp?
tankabanditka [31]
Answer is: volume of helium is 244.72 liters.
m(He) = 43.7 g.
n(He) = m(He) ÷ M(He).
n(He) = 43.7 g ÷ 4 g/mol.
n(He) = 10.925 mol.
V(He) = n(He) · n(He).
V(He) = 10.925 mol · 22.4 L/mol.
V(He) = 244.72 L.
Vm - molar volume at STP.
n - amount of substance.

An ice cube measuring 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm by 5.80 cm has a density of 0.917 g/mL What is the mass?
OLga [1]

Answer: 178.9 g

Explanation:

Density = \frac{mass}{volume in mL}

find volume of the cube: (5.80 cm) (5.80 cm) (5.80cm) = 195.112 cm³

1.0 cm³ = 1.0 mL

so 195.112 cm³ = 195.112 mL

plug value into density equation:

0.917 g/mL = (mass) / (195.112 mL)

and solve for mass!
