Answer:
strongest oxidizing agent: 
weakest oxidizing agent: 
strongest reducing agent: Y
weakest reducing agent: X
will oxidize Z
Explanation:
The higher the reduction potential of a species, higher will be the tendency to consume electrons from another species. Hence higher will be the oxidizing power of it's oxidized form and lower will be the reducing power of it's reduced form.
Alternatively, higher reduction potential value suggests that the oxidized form of the species acts as a stronger oxidizing agent and the reduced form of the species acts as a weaker reducing agent.
Order of reduction potential:
So, strongest oxidizing agent:
weakest oxidizing agent:
strongest reducing agent: Y
weakest reducing agent: X
As reduction potential of the half cell 
is higher than the reduction potential of the half cell 
therefore will oxidize Z into 
and itself gets converted into X.
Answer:
The water potential of a solution of 0.15 M sucrose solution is -3.406 bar.
Explanation:
Water potential = Pressure potential + solute potential
We have :
C = 0.15 M, T = 273.15 K
i = 1
The water potential of a solution of 0.15 m sucrose= 
(At standard temperature)
The water potential of a solution of 0.15 M sucrose solution is -3.406 bar.
Answer :Solid in bottle a is ionic, solid in bottle b is molecular and solid in bottle c is ionic.
Explanation :
Ionic compound is formed when a metal atom donates one or more electrons to a non metal. This results in the formation of a cation ( a positive ion) and an anion ( a negative ion). These ions are bonded to each other by electrostatic attraction.
The intermolecular forces in case of a an ionic compound are very strong.
The melting point of a substance depends on how strongly the molecules are attracted to each other. Stronger the forces, higher is the melting point.
Therefore ionic compounds always have very high melting points.
On the other hand, covalent compounds have weak intermolecular forces. Therefore they have low melting points.
Based on above discussion, we can classify the given compounds as follows.
a) Solid in bottle a is Ionic as it has high melting point.
b) Solid in bottle b is molecular as it has low melting point.
c) Solid in bottle c is Ionic as it has high melting point.
Answer:
NUCLEAR ENERGY -----> MECHANICAL ENERGY -------> THERMAL ENERGY --------> ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Explanation:
In nuclear reactor, various energy transformations occur in order to generate electricity. Nuclear reactor converts the energy released from nuclear fission and the heat generated is removed from the reactor by a cooling system where steam is generated. The steam then drives a turbine which powers a generator to produce electricity.
A nuclear reactor is hence an equipment where nuclear chain reactions occur and control can be obtained. The nuclear reactor uses mostly uranium-235 and Plutonium-239. When these radioactive substances absorbs neutrons, they undergo nuclear fission causing the nucleus to split into two or more smaller compounds with the release of kinetic energy a form of mechanical energy, gamma radiations and others.The kinetic energy is then harnessed in the equipment as heat (thermal energy) which is received by a cooling system and steam is generated. The steam can then power the generator from which electricity is obtained (electrical energy).
So therefore, in a nuclear reactor, the nuclear energy is transformed to mechanical energy and then thermal energy which powers the generation of the electrical energy.
The final temperature of the water is the equilibrium temperature, or the also the final temperature of the iron after a long period of time. Applying the conservation of energy:
m,iron*C,iron*ΔT = - m,water*C,water*ΔT
The density of water is 1000 g/mL.
(25 g)(0.449 J/g·°C)(T - 398 K) = - (25 mL)(1000 g/mL)(4.18 J/g·°C)(T - 298)
Solving for T,
<em>T = 298.01 K</em>
