Answer to Problem 23.1QP

Answer

Catenation of the carbon atom (a).

Explanation of Solution

To find: Carbon forms more compound than the other element

Catenation of the carbon atom.

Carbon forms the covalent bond with other atoms or other carbon atoms through catenation and forms longer chain and structures.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Carbon forms more compound than the other element the reason should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s22p2.

Answer to Problem 23.1QP

Answer

Tetravalency of the carbon atom (b).

Explanation of Solution

To find Tetravalency of the carbon atom

Electronic configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s22p2.

The outer electronic configuration of the carbon is four electrons that will be participating in the bond formation. Totally carbon will form four covalent bonds with the other atoms or carbon atoms. Moreover size of the carbon atom is small which form more strong covalent bond because of these reasons which make the Carbon forms more compound than the other element.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential Ered +1.26 V. An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 1.10 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the minimum. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. If there is no lower limit, check the "no" box.. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have? If so, check the "yes" box and calculate the maximum.
