Why do the two elements silver and iron have different properties?

1 answer:

4 0

Elements in same group / family tend to have similar properties ( but not exactly the same). Since, iron and silver are in two different group / families, they have different properties.

Also, Silver and iron have different properties because they have different atomic structure. Having different atomic structure means bonding differently with other elements. So, they have different properties.

A voltaic cell is constructed with two silver-silver chloride electrodes, where the half-reaction is AgCl (s) + e− → Ag (s) + Cl

ANTONII [103]

Answer : The cell emf for this cell is 0.118 V

Solution :

The half-cell reaction is:

$AgCl(s)+e^\rightarrow Ag(s)+Cl^-(aq)$

In this case, the cathode and anode both are same. So, $E^o_{cell}$ is equal to zero.

Now we have to calculate the cell emf.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cl^{-}{diluted}]}{[Cl^{-}{concentrated}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 1

$E_{cell}$ = ?

$[Cl^{-}{diluted}]$ = 0.0222 M

$[Cl^{-}{concentrated}]$ = 2.22 M

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0-\frac{0.0592}{1}\log \frac{0.0222M}{2.22M}$

$E_{cell}=0.118V$

Therefore, the cell emf for this cell is 0.118 V

A species has the following MO configuration: (σ1s)2(σ1s*)2(σ2s)2(σ2s*)2(σ2p)2(π2p)2. This substance is:_______.

Goshia [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (a) paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons.

Explanation :

According to the molecular orbital theory, the general molecular orbital configuration will be,

$(\sigma_{1s}),(\sigma_{1s}^*),(\sigma_{2s}),(\sigma_{2s}^*),(\sigma_{2p_z}),[(\pi_{2p_x})=(\pi_{2p_y})],[(\pi_{2p_x}^*)=(\pi_{2p_y}^*)],(\sigma_{2p_z}^*)$

As there are 14 electrons present in the given configuration.

The molecular orbital configuration of molecule will be,

$(\sigma_{1s})^2,(\sigma_{1s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2s})^2,(\sigma_{2s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2p_z})^2,[(\pi_{2p_x})^1=(\pi_{2p_y})^1],[(\pi_{2p_x}^*)^0=(\pi_{2p_y}^*)^0],(\sigma_{2p_z}^*)^0$

The number of unpaired electron in the given configuration is, 2. So, this is paramagnetic. That means, more the number of unpaired electrons, more paramagnetic.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons.

COCl2(g) decomposes according to the equation above. When pure COCl2(g) is injected into a rigid, previously evacuated flask at

mestny [16]

Answer: The value of $K_p$ for the reaction at 690 K is 0.05

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial pressure of $COCl_2$ = 1.0 atm

Total pressure at equilibrium = 1.2 atm

The chemical equation for the decomposition of phosgene follows:

$COCl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Cl_2(g)$

Initial: 1 - -

At eqllm: 1-x x x

We are given:

Total pressure at equilibrium = [(1 - x) + x+ x]

So, the equation becomes:

$[(1 - x) + x+ x]=1.2\\\\x=0.2atm$

The expression for $K_p$ for above equation follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CO}\times p_{Cl_2}}{p_{COCl_2}}$

$p_{CO}=0.2atm\\p_{Cl_2}=0.2atm\\p_{COCl_2}=(1-0.2)=0.8atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{0.2\times 0.2}{0.8}\\\\K_p=0.05$

Hence, the value of $K_p$ for the reaction at 690 K is 0.05

What is the final acetate ion concentration when 69. g Ba(C2H3O2)2 is dissolved in enough water to make 970. mL of solution? The

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

0.56M

Explanation:

1. Dissociation equation

Assuming 100% dissociation, the equation is:

Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ → Ba²⁺ + 2C₂H₃O₂⁻

↑

acetate ions

2. Molarity

Calculate the molarity, M, of the solution:

M = n / V(in liters)

n = mass in grams / molar mass

n = 69.g / 255.415g/mol = 0.27015 mol

M = 0.27015mol / 0.970liter = 0.27850 mol/liter ≈ 0.28M

3. Acetate ions

From the chemical equation, 1 mol of dissolved Ba(C₂H₃O₂)₂ produces 2 acetate ions in solution.

Thus, 0.28 mol/liter × 2 = 0.56 mol/liter = 0.56M ← answer

the image above shows a chamber with a fixed volume filled with gas at a pressure of 1560 mmHg and a temperature of 445.0 K. If

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The new pressure of the gas in the chamber is 1,093.75 mmHg

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac Law is a gas law that relates pressure and temperature to constant volume. This law says that the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

That is, if the temperature increases, the pressure increases, while if the temperature decreases, the pressure decreases. So the Gay-Lussac law can be expressed mathematically as follows:

$\frac{P}{T} =k$
