The button batteries in small devices like watches are commonly composed of silver-zinc or mercury-zinc batteries. The reaction

in a mercury button battery is: HgO(s) + Zn(s) --> ZnO(s) + Hg(l) What is the line notation for a mercury button battery?

Answer:

The mercury button battery line notation is:

        Zn⁰| Zn²|| , HgO| Hg⁰||

Explanation:

Mercury batteries either use

pure mercury(II) oxide (HgO)—which is called mercuric oxide

or a mixture of HgO with manganese dioxide (MnO2) which is as the cathode.

Anode has two half reactions:

The first step is an electrochemical reaction step:

Zn + 4OH− → Zn(OH)4−2 + 2e−[3]

cathode has a half reaction :

HgO + H2O + 2e− → Hg + 2OH−[3]

+0.0977 V  standard potential is of this reaction.

which is followed by a chemical reaction step:

Anode consists of oxidation:

Zn+2OH>ZnO+H2O+2e

which gives an overall anode half-reaction of:

Zn + 2OH− → ZnO + H2O + 2e−[3]

Therefore,

The overall reaction for the battery is:

Zn + HgO → ZnO + Hg

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

To increase surface area of the platinum electrode which results in superior quality and action of the electrodes as opposed to normal platinum electrodes.

Explanation:

Platinization of Platinum is the process of covering platinum electrode with a layer of platinum black. Platinum black is a finally divided form of platinum, optimized for catalysing the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated organic compound. This increases the surface area of the platinum electrodes and therefore exhibits action superior to that of normal electrodes.

How many molecules of CBr4 are in 250 grams of CBr4
Kazeer [188]

Answer:- 4.54*10^2^3 molecules.

Solution:- The grams of tetrabromomethane are given and it asks to calculate the number of molecules.

It is a two step unit conversion problem. In the first step, grams are converted to moles on dividing the grams by molar mass.

In second step, the moles are converted to molecules on multiplying by Avogadro number.

Molar mass of CBr_4  = 12+4(79.9)  = 331.6 g per mol

let's make the set up using dimensional analysis:

250g(\frac{1mol}{331.6g})(\frac{6.022*10^2^3molecules}{1mol})

= 4.54*10^2^3 molecules

So, there will be 4.54*10^2^3 molecules in 250 grams of CBr_4 .

In the activity, click on the E∘cell and Keq quantities to observe how they are related. Use this relation to calculate Keq for
joja [24]

Answer:

ΔG° = -118x10³ J/mol

Explanation:

The two half-reactions in the cell are:

Oxidation half-reaction:

Co(s) → Co²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻; E° = -0,28V

Reduction half-reaction:

Cu²⁺(aq)+2e⁻ → Cu(s); E° = 0,34V

The E° of the cell is defined as:

E_{cell} = E_{red} - E_{ox}

Replacing:

0,34V - (-0,28V) = 0,62V

It is possible to obtain the keq from E°cell with Nernst equation thus:

nE°cell/0,0592 = log (keq)

Where:

E°cell is standard electrode potential (0.62 V)

n is number of electrons transferred (2 electrons, from the half-reactions)

Replacing:

0,62V×2/0,0592 = log (keq)

20,946 = log keq

keq = 8,83x10²⁰≈ 5,88x10²⁰

ΔG° is defined as:

ΔG° = -RT ln Keq

Where R is gas constant (8,314472 J/molK) and T is temperature (298K):

ΔG° = -8,314472 J/molK×298K ln5,88x10²⁰

<em>ΔG° = -118x10³ J/mol</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!

Which answer choices correctly describe properties of covalent compounds?<br> Select all that apply.
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A covalent compound is made when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons. The shared valence electrons between two nonmetal atoms is called a covalent bond. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms begin sharing electrons
