Calculate the EMF between copper and silver Ag+e-E=0.89v<br>Cu=E=0.34v

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Depending on the $E^\circ$ value of $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \to Ag\; (s)$ , the cell potential would be:

$0.55\; \rm V$ , using data from this particular question; or
approximately $0.46\; \rm V$ , using data from the CRC handbooks.

Explanation:

In this galvanic cell, the following two reactions are going on:

The conversion between $\rm Ag\; (s)$ and $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions, $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Ag\; (s)$ , and
The conversion between $\rm Cu\; (s)$ and $\rm Cu^{2+}$ ions, $\rm Cu^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\, e^{-} \rightleftharpoons \rm Cu\; (s)$ .

Note that the standard reduction potential of $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions to $\rm Ag\; (s)$ is higher than that of $\rm Cu^{2+}$ ions to $\rm Cu\; (s)$ . Alternatively, consider the fact that in the metal activity series, copper is more reactive than silver. Either way, the reaction is this cell will be spontaneous (and will generate a positive EMF) only if $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions are reduced while $\rm Cu\; (s)$ is oxidized.

Therefore:

The reduction reaction at the cathode will be: $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \to Ag\; (s)$ . The standard cell potential of this reaction (according to this question) is $E(\text{cathode}) = 0.89\; \rm V$ . According to the 2012 CRC handbook, that value will be approximately $0.79\; \rm V$ .

The oxidation at the anode will be: $\rm Cu\; (s) \to \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\, e^{-}$ . According to this question, this reaction in the opposite direction ( $\rm Cu^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\, e^{-} \rightleftharpoons \rm Cu\; (s)$ ) has an electrode potential of $0.34\; \rm V$ . When that reaction is inverted, the electrode potential will also be inverted. Therefore, $E(\text{anode}) = -0.34\; \rm V$ .

The cell potential is the sum of the electrode potentials at the cathode and at the anode:

$\begin{aligned}E(\text{cell}) &= E(\text{cathode}) + E(\text{anode}) \\ &= 0.89 \; \rm V + (-0.34\; \rm V) = 0.55\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

Using data from the 1985 and 2012 CRC Handbook:

$\begin{aligned}E(\text{cell}) &= E(\text{cathode}) + E(\text{anode}) \\ &\approx 0.7996 \; \rm V + (-0.337\; \rm V) \approx 0.46\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

1. john needs to create a buffered solution at a ph of 3.5 for his biomedical laboratory

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid

Explanation:

John could prepare a lactate buffer.

He can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the acid/base ratio for the buffer.

$\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\3.5 = 3.86 + \log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}}\\\\\log\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 3.5 - 3.86 = -0.36\\\\\dfrac{\text{[A$^{-}$]}}{\text{[HA]}} = 10^{-0.36} = \mathbf{0.44}$

He should use a ratio of 0.44 mol lactate to 1 mol of lactic acid.

For example, he could mix equal volumes of 0.044 mol·L⁻¹ lactate and 0.1 mol·L⁻¹ lactic acid.

Calculate the number of moles in 7.41 X 1017 atoms Ag.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

1.23x10^-6 mole

Explanation:

A clear understanding of Avogadro's hypothesis proved that 1mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 atoms. This indicates that 1mole of Ag contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.

Now, 1f 1mole of Ag contains 6.02x10^23 atoms, then Xmol of Ag will contain 7.41x10^17 atoms i.e

Xmol of Ag = 7.41x10^17/6.02x10^23 = 1.23x10^-6 mole

A sample of hydrogen gas collected over water occupied 30.0 mL at 24 °C on a day when the atmospheric pressure was 736 Torr. Wha

givi [52]

Answer:0.026ml

Explanation:

Details are found in the image attached. We must subtract the saturated vapour pressure of hydrogen gas at the given temperature from the total pressure of the hydrogen gas collected over water to obtain the actual pressure of hydrogen gas and substitute the value obtained into the general gas equation. The dry hydrogen gas has no saturated vapour pressure hence the value is substituted as given. All temperatures must be converted to Kelvin before substitution.
