Answer:- 38.2 g.

Solution:- The equation used for solving this type of calorimetry problems is:

q=mc\Delta T

where, q is the heat energy, m is mass, c is specific heat and delta T is the change in temperature.

Water temperature is increasing from 14.5 degree C to 50.0 degree C.

\Delta T=50.0-14.5  = 35.5 degree C

q is given as 5680 J and specific heat value is 4.186\frac{J}{g.^0C} .

The equation could be rearranged for m as:

m=\frac{q}{c*\Delta T}

Let's plug in the values in it:

m=\frac{5680}{4.186*35.5}

m = 38.2 g

So, the mass of water in the kettle is 38.2 g.

Use the following half-reactions to design a voltaic cell: Sn4+(aq) + 2 e− → Sn2+(aq) Eo = 0.15 V Ag+(aq) + e−→ Ag(s) Eo = 0.80
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

E° = 0.65 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reductions and their respective standard reduction potentials.

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Sn²⁺(aq) E°red = 0.15 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

The reaction with the highest reduction potential will occur as a reduction while the other will occur as an oxidation. The corresponding half-reactions are:

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

Oxidation (anode): Sn²⁺(aq) → Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = 0.15 V

The overall cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.80 V - 0.15 V = 0.65 V

In a hydrogen fuel cell, hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are combined to form water. Write the balanced chemical equation describing
xxTIMURxx [149]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical reaction is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A fuel cell is defined as the electrochemical cell which converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often used hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often used oxygen) into electrical energy via a pair of redox reactions.

The reactions which occur in hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell are:

At cathode:  H_2+2OH^-\rightarrow 2H_2O+2e^-

At anode:  \frac{1}{2}O_2+H_2O+2e^-\rightarrow 2OH^-

Net reaction:  H_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow H_2O

Thus, the chemical reaction is given above.

A proton transfer reaction can occur when an aldehyde is placed in strong base, such as an alkoxide ion, producing an alcohol an
Pani-rosa [81]

Hi, you have not provided structure of the aldehyde and alkoxide ion.

Therefore i'll show a mechanism corresponding to the proton transfer by considering a simple example.

Explanation: For an example, let's consider that proton transfer is taking place between a simple aldehyde e.g. acetaldehyde and a simple alkoxide base e.g. methoxide.

The hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom adjacent to aldehyde group are most acidic. Hence they are removed by alkoxide preferably.

After removal of proton from aldehyde, a carbanion is generated. As it is a conjugated carbanion therefore the negative charge on carbon atom can conjugate through the carbonyl group to form an enolate which is another canonical form of the carbanion.

All the structures are shown below.

In an experiment, 0.42 mol of co and 0.42 mol of h2 were placed in a 1.00-l reaction vessel. at equilibrium, there were 0.29 mol
Likurg_2 [28]
To determine the Keq, we need the chemical reaction in the system. In this case it would be:

CO + 2H2 = CH3OH

The Keq is the ration of the amount of the product and the reactant. We use the ICE table for this. We do as follows:

          CO           H2             CH3OH
I         .42           .42                    0
C     -0.13      -2(0.13)            0.13
-----------------------------------------------
E =    .29           0.16               0.13

Therefore, 

Keq = [CH3OH] / [CO2] [H2]^2 = 0.13 / 0.29 (0.16^2)
Keq = 17.51
