Consider the following equation: Fe2O3(aq)  +  3CO(g)    →   2Fe(s)  +  3CO2(g) Identify the species (element or ion) that is acting as the oxidizing agent

What statement is true for the following half cell reaction F2(g)  +   2e-  ↔  2F-(aq)  Ecell = + 2.87 V

Deathcare that minimizes the use of energy in service, and offers products that ban the use of toxic or hazardous materials is called

The burning chamber in a crematory is called a

What is the proper term used to describe the initial notification informing a funeral home that a death has occurred?

Consider the following half-cell reactions: Zn2+(aq)  +  2e-  ↔  Zn(s)  Ecell = -0.76 V Cu2+(aq)  +  2e-  ↔  Cu(s)  Ecell = +0.34 V Identify the species (element or ion) that is acting as the reducing agent Hint: The half-cell with the highest positive potential gets reduced

Two half-cell reactions are shown below: Fe2+(aq)  +  2e-   ↔  Fe(s)     Ecell = – 0.44 V Cu2+(aq)  +  2e-  ↔  Cu(s)    Ecell = +0.34 V Hint: The half-cell with the highest positive potential gets reduced. the other half-cell must get oxidized. Find the Gibbs free energy for the above cell reaction (ΔG = -nFE: F = 96485 C, n = no. of electrons and E = cell potential). Use the cell voltage you received in questions 21.
