What will happen when a piece of magnesium metal is dropped into a beaker containing a l M solution of copper(1) chloride?

Standard Hydrogen Electrode consists of platinum wire fused in a glass tube and a platinum plate coated with finely divided plat

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.

Explain why a propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during preflight preparations. Which gas law applies?

Olegator [25]

Propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during pre-flight preparation because the heat from the touch is needed to heat the cold air inside the balloon, so that the air will expand and become less dense and rise, thus providing a lift for the balloon. This is line with charle's law, which states that, the volume of a fixed mass of ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This law implies that, as the temperature of the air inside the balloon increase, the volume of the balloon also increases.

Which of the following compounds has the highest pKa value? A)CCl3CH2NH2

Rudik [331]

The lower the pKa<span> of a Bronsted acid, the more easily it gives up its proton. The </span>higher<span> the </span>pKa<span> of a Bronsted acid, the more tightly the proton is held, and the less easily the proton is given up.

Here we need the highest pKa, so we need to see which compound will less likely to give proton or hydrogen ion.

</span><span>Now, all Nitrogen contains a lone pair. But HALOGEN groups( F, Cl, only) being electronegative than NITROGEN [electronegativity of N=3, F=4 and Cl=3], pulls electron pair towards itself.
</span>
The more the lone pair of nitrogen is pulled, the more strong bond between N and H will become, which means less likely to give hydrogen ion.
means high Pka

C) option is the answer because it has 3 F very close to N.

The town of Natrium, West Virginia, derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaC

Alona [7]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$Na^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Na(s)$

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{4500 g}{23 g/mol}$ (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

= 195.65 mol

As, Q = $n \times F$ where F = Faraday's constant

= $195.65 mol \times 96500 C$

= $1.88 \times 10^{7}$ mol C

Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.

E = $Q \times V$

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.

E = $Q \times V$

= $1.88 \times 10^{7} \times 5$

= $9.4 \times 10^{7} J$

As 1 J = $2.77 \times 10^{-7}$ kWh

Hence, $\frac{9.4 \times 10^{7}}{2.77 \times 10^{-7}}$ kWh

= 3.39 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.

Which of the compounds above are strong enough acids to react almost completely with a hydroxide ion (pka of h2o = 15.74) or wit

luda_lava [24]

The compounds can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

In an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid (acid from the reaction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)

If the acid gives (H +), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H +), then the base formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.

From this, it can be seen whether the acid in the product can give its proton to a base (or acid which has a lower Ka value) so that the reaction can go to the right to produce the product.

The step that needs to be done is to know the pKa value of the two acids (one on the left side and one on the right side of the arrow), then just determine the value of the equilibrium constant

Can be formulated:

K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left : K acid on the right.

or:

pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the right

K = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactions

pK = -log K;

$K~=~10^{-pK}$
