Calculate the mass of Cu deposited by the electrolysis of CuCl2 at 4A for 40 minutes.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

3.16g

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

I = 4A

t = 40mins = 40 x 60 = 2400secs

Q =?

Q = It

Q = 4 x 2400

Q = 9600C

Now let us generate a balanced half equation to determine the number faraday needed to deposit metallic Cu. This is illustrated:

Cu^2+ + 2e —> Cu

From the equation,

2 faraday is needed to deposit metallic cu

1 faraday = 96500C

Therefore 2 faraday = 2 x 96500 = 193000C

Molar Mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol

193000C deposited 63.5g of Cu

Therefore, 9600C will deposit = (9600 x 63.5)/193000 = 3.16g of Cu

How does radioactivity make it possible to understand how earth can be so old and still have a hot interior?

Answers

Answer:

The reason is that there are radioactive elements that are in the center of the earth.

Explanation:

If the earth were only a rock cooling from the time of its birth. It should have already cooled completely thousands of years ago. However, volcanoes continue to shed hot magma and this is proof that there is a source of heat in the center of the earth. This source of heat is due to the radioactivity of elements such as Uranium and Thorium that were enclosed during the formation of the earth. These elements slowly disintegrate emitting particles that collide with others emanating heat.  For example, the half-life of uranium is 4.5 billion years, which means that it decays very slowly.

I know that we can find how old the Earth is by knowing how much uranium ultimately decayed into lead. Uranium-238 has a very long to decay, about 4.5 billion years. So that is how we are able to understand how old the Earth is.

An empty party balloon will float to the ceiling of a room once it is filled with helium.A. What does this tell you about the density of air in the room compared to the density of helium?

B. For the balloon to float in air, what two factors might have changed about the balloon?

Answer those two questions of you know the answer.

Answers

Helium is a gas composed of itself, were air is composed of Oxygen and Nitrogen making the air more dense than the helium making it float to find other gases


Two factors to change are Air pressure (due to the balloon moving ) and the helium making the balloon rise.

What are the uses of methanol?

Answers

Methanol has severl uses few of which are discussed below.

Explanation:

Methanol is the simplest alcohol with chemical formula CH3OH. Its nin drinkable because its toxic when consumed.

Methanol is used for preparing acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, butandiol, acetal resins etc which are used for production of furthur high specific chemicals with high rate of purity. Its also used widely in automobile industry.

Its used to produce acetic acid, solvent esters and acetates, terepthalic acid, etc which are used in automobiles, paint industry, ink industry etc.

Its used in preparation if zero emmision fuels. Its also used to produce antifreeze, lubricants, burning alcohol, spirit etc.

Its also used to produce different cleaners and canned heat.

Its used to dress wounds, for preparation of MMA, MTOs etc.

This metal is very reactive, has properties similar to magnesium, and is in the same period as bromine. What element is this?

Answers

Calcium is very reactive, has properties similar to magnesium, and is in the same period as bromine.

What are properties?

Properties  are defined as the qualities that help us distinguish one material from another.

There are basically two types of properties.

  • Chemical properties - They are defined as one of the aspect of a certain substance that can be seen in a chemical reaction. It can be defined as a property of a substance that may be seen during a chemical reaction or change.
  • Physical properties - They are defined as a property of matter that may be seen and quantified without altering the sample's chemical composition. It can also be defined as a quality of matter that does not manifest as a chemical change.

Reactive is defined as the catalyst for a chemical process, either on its own or in combination with other materials.

It can also be defined as the propensity of a substance to undergo chemical reaction and release energy, either by itself or in conjunction with other materials.

Thus, calcium is very reactive, has properties similar to magnesium, and is in the same period as bromine.

Calcium.

This question is easy using the periodic table. All elements in the same group as Magnesium will have similar properties, so basically you're looking for whatever is in Group 2, Period 4. Groups are the columns and Periods are the rows.
