Answer:

Explanation:

Fe⁺² (aq) + 2e⁻ =   Fe (s)   ;   E⁰ =  - .44 V

Fe⁺³ (aq) + e⁻ =  ® Fe²⁺ (aq) ;   E⁰ = + .77 V

Reduction potential of second reaction is more , so it will take place , ie Fe⁺³ will be reduced and Fe will be oxidised .

So reaction in the combined cell will be

2Fe⁺³ + Fe = 3Fe⁺²

cell potential = .77 - ( - .44 )

= 1.21 V .

Three of the reactions that occur when the paraffin of a candle (typical formula C21H44) burns are as follows:
Katarina [22]

Answer and Explanation:

The 3 reactions represented are

C₂₁H₄₄ + 32O₂ -----> 21CO₂ + 22H₂O

C₂₁H₄₄ + (43/2)O₂ -----> 21CO + 22H₂O

C₂₁H₄₄ + 11O₂ -----> 21C + 22H₂O

ΔH°(C₂₁H₄₄) = -476 KJ/mol, ΔH°(O₂) = 0KJ/mol, ΔH°(CO₂) = -393.5 KJ/mol, ΔH°(CO) = -99 KJ/mol, ΔH°(H₂O) = -292.74 KJ/mol, ΔH°(C) = 0KJ/mol

ΔH°f = ΔH°(products) - ΔH°(reactants)

For reaction 1,

ΔH°(products) = 21(ΔH°(CO₂)) + 22(ΔH°(H₂O)) = 21(-393.5) + 22(-292.74) = -14703.78 KJ/mol

ΔH°(reactants) = ΔH°(C₂₁H₄₄) = -476 KJ/mol

ΔH°f = -14703.78 - (-476) = - 14227.78 KJ/mol

For reaction 2,

ΔH°(products) = 21(ΔH°(CO)) + 22(ΔH°(H₂O)) = 21(-99) + 22(-292.74) = -8519.28 KJ/mol

ΔH°(reactants) = ΔH°(C₂₁H₄₄) = -476 KJ/mol

ΔH°f = -8519.28 - (-476) = - 8043.28 KJ/mol

For reaction 3,

ΔH°(products) = 21(ΔH°(C)) - 22(ΔH°(H₂O)) = 21(0) + 22(-292.74) = -6440.28 KJ/mol

ΔH°(reactants) = ΔH°(C₂₁H₄₄) = -476 KJ/mol

ΔH°f = -6440.28 - (-476) = - 5968.28 KJ/mol

b) To obtain the q for the combustion of 254g of paraffin, we convert the mass to moles.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass; molar mass of C₂₁H₄₄ = 296 g/mol

Number of moles = 254/296 = 0.858 mole

heat of reaction for the combustion of C₂₁H₄₄ when it is complete combustion, q = ΔH°(complete combustion, i.e. reaction 1) × number of moles = -14227.78 × 0.858 = -12207.435 KJ/mol

c) 8% of the mass of C₂₁H₄₄ undergoes incomplete combustion = 8% × 254 = 20.32g, in number of moles = 20.32/296 = 0.0686 mole

5% of the mass of C₂₁H₄₄ becomes soot = 5% × 254 = 12.7g, in number of moles = 12.7/296 = 0.0429 mole

The remaining paraffin undergoes complete combustion = 87% of 254 = 220.98g, in number of moles = 220.98 = 0.747 mole

q = sum of all the heat of reactions = (0.747 × -14227.78) + (0.0686 × -8043.28) + ( 0.0429 × -5968.28) = -11435.377 KJ

An object accelerates 12.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of the object?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The mass of object is 0.5 Kg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Acceleration of object = 12.0 m/s²

Force on object = 6.0 N

Mass of object = ?

Solution:

Formula:

F = m×a

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula.

6.0 N = m  × 12.0 m/s²

m =  6.0 N / 12.0 m/s²  

   ( N = kg.m/s²)

m = 0.5 kg

The mass of object is 0.5 Kg.

A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H. Its molar mass is 78.12 g/mol. What is the compound’s molecular formula?
Inessa [10]

A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H.

divide by molar mass of C(12) and H(1) to get molar ratio

C: 60/12=5 and H: 5/1=5

so C:H=5:5=1:1

total molar mass=78

divide by 1C+1H to find the formula: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6

compound is C6H6

Ksivusya [100]
<h2>Halogens.</h2>

Explanation:

All of the halogens form salts with alkali metals with the formula MX.

Halogens are the members of group 17 in the periodic table. They have seven electron in their valence shell and tend to form negative ion with minus one charge. They get there name  because of their property to form salts. Halogens are very reactive and form salts with the metals.

If you were to assume a 95% yield for the formation of the phosphonium ion, how many milligrams of benzyl chloride and triphenyl
luda_lava [24]
I am attempting the problem for phosphonium Ion rather than its chloride salt. The chemical equation is shown below along with molar masses in mg.

First of all we will calculate the amounts of reactants required for the synthesis of 220 mg of phophonium ion. Calculations for both reactants is as follow,

For Benzyl chloride,
\frac{353420 mg of Phosphonium is formed by reacting}{220 mg of Phosphonium will be formed by} = \frac{126580 g of benzyl chloride}{X}

Solving for X,
X = \frac{220 mg . 126580 mg}{353420 mg}
X = 78.79 mg

For PPh₃:
\frac{353420 mg of Phosphonium is formed by reacting}{220 mg of Phosphonium will be formed by} = \frac{262290 g of PPh3}{X}

Solving for X,
X = \frac{220 mg . 262290 mg}{353420 mg}
X = 163.27 mg

Now
, Assuming these values as for 95 % conversion, we can calculate 100 % yield as follow,

when   \frac{95 percent}{100 percent} = \frac{220 g}{X}
Solving for X,

X = \frac{220 . 100}{95} = 231.57 mg

Now, calculate reactants mass with respect to 231.57 mg
when  \frac{220 mg phosphonium required}{231.57 mg require} = \frac{78.79 g of benzyl chloride}{X}
Solving for ,

X = \frac{231.57 . 78.79}{220} = 82.93 mg of Benzyl chloride

when  \frac{220 mg phosphonium required}{231.57 mg require} = \frac{163.27 g of PPh3}{X}
Solving for ,

X = \frac{231.57 . 163.27}{220} = 171.85 mg of PPh3

So,
reaction was started with reacting 82.93 mg of Benzyl Chloride and 171.85 mg of Triphenyl Phosphine.
