Answer:

Explanation:

The chemical reaction for cellular respiration is as follows -

C₆H₁₂O₆ ( Glucose ) + 6 O₂ ( Oxygen ) --------------> 6CO₂ ( Carbon dioxide ) + 6H₂O ( Water ) + 38 ATP molecules ( Energy ) .

This is an example of oxidation of carbon .

The chemical reaction for photosynthesis is as follows -

6CO₂ ( Carbon dioxide ) + 6H₂O ( Water ) --------------> C₆H₁₂O₆( Glucose ) + 6 O₂ ( Oxygen ).

This is an example of reduction of carbon .

A student does an experiment to determine the molar solubility of lead(II) bromide. She constructs a voltaic cell at 298 K consi

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The molar solubility of lead bromide at 298K is 0.010 mol/L.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to use the Nernst Equaiton:

$E = E^{o} - \frac{0.0591}{n} log\frac{[ox]}{[red]}$

E is the cell potential at a certain instant, E⁰ is the cell potential, n is the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, [ox] is the concentration of the oxidated specie and [red] is the concentration of the reduced specie.

At equilibrium, E = 0, therefore:

$E^{o} = \frac{0.0591}{n} log \frac{[ox]}{[red]} \\\\log \frac{[ox]}{[red]} = \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591} \\\\log[red] = log[ox] - \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591}\\\\[red] = 10^{ log[ox] - \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591}} \\\\[red] = 10^{ log0.733 - \frac{2x5.45x10^{-2} }{0.0591}}\\\\$

[red] = 0.010 M

The reduction will happen in the anode, therefore, the concentration of the reduced specie is equivalent to the molar solubility of lead bromide.

HBr can be added to an alkene in the presence of peroxides (ROOR). What function does the peroxide serve in this reaction

RSB [31]

Answer:

Radical chain initiator

Explanation:

The peroxide here serves as a radical chain initiator. In the field of chemistry the radical initiatives are those substances that are used in industrial processes like polymer synthesis. These initiatives have weak bonds generally and they're mostly used to create free radicals. These radicals are atoms that have odd numbers of electrons. Peroxide is an example of such.

Tatiana [17]

Answer: During winter the Northern Hemisphere leans away from the sun, there are fewer daylight hours and the sun hits us at an angle. This makes it appear lower in the sky. In equatorial regions the length of days and the directness of sunlight don't change as much.

Hope this helps :)
