First, we need to determine the half reaction of magnesium. It would be expressed as:

Mg2+ + 2e- = Mg

Given the mass of magnesium metal that is produced, we calculate the total charge of the electrolysis by the relations we can get from the half reaction. We do as follows:

4.50 kg Mg ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 24.305 g ) ( 2 mol e- / 1 mol Mg ) ( 96500 C / 1 mol e- ) = 35733388.2 C

We are given the applied EMF in units of V. This value is equal to J/C. So, 5 V is equal to 5 J/C.

35733388.2 C (5 J/C) = 178666941 J
178666941 J ( 1 kW-h / 3.6x10^6 J ) = 49.63 kW-h

The weight percent of concentrated HClO4(aq) is 70.5% and its density is 1.67 g/mL. What is the molarity of concentrated HClO4
ollegr [7]

Answer:

[HClO₄] = 11.7M

Explanation:

First of all we need to know, that a weight percent represents, the mass of solute in 100 g of solution.

Let's convert the mass to moles → 70.5 g . 1mol/100.45 g = 0.702 moles

Now we can apply the density to calculate the volume.

Density always refers to solution → Solution density = Solution mass / Solution volume

1.67 g/mL = 100 g / Solution volume

Solution volume = 100 g / 1.67 g/mL → 59.8 mL

To determine molarity (mol/L) we must convert the mL to L

59.8 mL . 1L/1000mL = 0.0598 L

Molarity → Moles of solute in 1L of solution → 0.702 mol / 0.0598 L = 11.7M

<span>Ni2+ +Pb(s) → Ni(s) + Pb2+
</span>The potential of the oxidation of Pb(s) --> Pb2+(aq) is 0.126 V 
The potential of the reduction go Ni2+(aq) --> Ni(s) is -0.25 V 

<span>Add the two together and the potential for the reaction is -0.124 V (NO SPONTANEOUS THE SIGN IS NEGATIVE)

</span><span>au3+ + al(s) → au(s) + al3+Au3+(aq) ->   Au(s)  +1.5 VAl -> Al3+  +1.66VV= 3.16 (SPONTANEOUS THE SIGN OF THE PONTENTIAL IS POSITIVE)</span><span>Sr2+ + Sn(s) → Sr(s) + Sn2+

Draw the condensed structural formula in the equation for the saponification of trimyristin with koh
Ludmilka [50]

Explanation: Saponification reaction is a reaction in which hydrolysis of fats takes place under basic conditions giving glycerol and a salt of corresponding fatty acid.

We are given a Fatty acid called as Trimyristin.

Its reaction with KOH leads to the formation of soap and is given by the equation:

Trimyristin+3 KOH\rightarrow Glycerol+Soap

C_{45}H_{86}O_6+3KOH\rightarrow C_3H_5(OH)_3+3CH_3(CH_2)_{12}CO_2K

The condensed structural formula for the equation is given in the image attached.

14) The central iodine atom in the ICl4- ion has __________ nonbonded electron pairs and __________ bonded electron pairs in its
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Two non bonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs

Explanation:

An image of the compound as obtained from chemlibretext is attached to this answer.

The ion ICl4- ion, is an AX4E2 ion. This implies that there are four bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. As expected, the shape of the ion is square planar since the lone pairs are found above and below the plane of the square. This is clear from the image attached.
