Explanation:

It is known that in one day there are 24 hours. Hence, number of seconds in 24 hours are as follows.

                             24 \times 3600 sec

Hence, total charge passed daily is calculated as follows.

                      150,000 \times 24 \times 3600 sec

And, number of Faraday of charge is as follows.

                    \frac{150,000 \times 24 \times 3600 sec}{96500}

                     = 134300.52 F

The oxidation state of aluminium in Al_{2}O_{3} is +3.

                       Al^{3+} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Al(s)

So, if we have to produce 1 mole of Al(s) we need 3 Faraday of charge.

Therefore, from 134300.52 F the moles of Al obtained with 89% efficiency is calculated as follows.

                \frac{134300.52 F}{3} \times \frac{89}{100}

                   = 39842.487 mol

or,               = 3.9842 \times 10^{4} mol

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mol

Therefore, mass in gram will be calculated as follows.

            Mass in grams = 3.9842 \times 10^{4} mol \times 27

                                     = 107.57 \times 10^{4} g

                                     = 1075.7 kg/day

Thus, we can conclude that the daily aluminum production of given aluminium is 1075.7 kg/day.

In a favorable reaction, the free energy of the products is ________ the free energy of the reactants. In a favorable reaction,
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

In a favorable reaction, the free energy of the products is less than the free energy of the reactants.

Explanation:

The free energy of a system is the amount of a system's internal energy that is available to perform work. The different forms of free energy include Gibbs free energy and Helmholtz free energy.

In a system at constant temperature and pressure, the energy that can be converted into work or the amount of usable energy in that system is known as Gibbs free energy. In a system at constant temperature and volume, the energy that can be converted into work is known as Helmholtz free energy.

The change in free energy of a system is the maximum usable energy that is released or absorbed by a system when it goes from the initial state (i.e., all reactants) to the final state (i.e., all products).

In a chemical reaction, some bonds in the reactants are broken by absorbing energy and new bonds are formed in the products by releasing energy. As the reaction proceeds, the free energy of reactants is much greater than the products. As the products are formed, the concentration of reactants decreases and the difference in their free energy also decreases. This chemical reaction will occur until chemical equilibrium is achieved i.e., the free energy of the products and reactants is equal and the difference in their free energy is zero.

1. A student sees tiny bubbles clinging to the inside of an unopened plastic bottle full of carbonated soft drinks. The student
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1) The bubbles will grow, and more may appear.

2)Can A will make a louder and stronger fizz than can B.

Explanation:

When you squeeze the sides of the bottle you increase the pressure pushing on the bubble, making it compress into a smaller space. This decrease in volume causes the bubble to increase in density. When the bubble increases in density, the bubble will grow and more bubbles will appear. Therefore, Changing the pressure (by squeezing the bottle) changes the volume of the bubbles. The number of bubbles doesn't change, just their size increases.

Carbonated drinks tend to lose their fizz at higher temperatures because the loss of carbon dioxide in liquids is increased as temperature is raised. This can be explained by the fact that when carbonated liquids are exposed to high temperatures, the solubility of gases in them is decreased. Hence the solubility of CO2 gas in can A at 32°C is less than the solubility of CO2 in can B at 8°C. Thus can A will tend to make a louder fizz more than can B.

500ml of a buffer solution contains 0.050 mol nahso3 and 0.031
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The answers are explained below

Explanation:

a)

Given: concentration of salt/base = 0.031

concentration of acid = 0.050

we have

PH = PK a + log[salt]/[acid] = 1.8 + log(0.031/0.050) = 1.59

b)

we have HSO₃⁻ + OH⁻ ------> SO₃²⁻ + H₂O

Moles i............0.05...................0.01.................0.031.....................0

Moles r...........-0.01.................-0.01................0.01........................0.01

moles f...........0.04....................0....................0.041.....................0.01

c)

we will use the first equation but substituting concentration of base as 0.031 + 10ml = 0.031 + 0.010 = 0.041

Hence, we have

PH = PK a + log[salt]/[acid] = 1.8 + log(0.041/0.050) = 1.71

d)

pOH = -log (0.01/0.510) = 1.71

pH = 14 - 1.71 = 12.29

e)

Because the buffer solution (NaHSO3-Na2SO3) can regulate pH changes. when a buffer is added to water, the first change that occurs is that the water pH becomes constant. Thus, acids or bases (alkali = bases) Additional may not have any effect on the water, as this always will stabilize immediately.
