A galvanic cell at a temperature of 25.0°C is powered by the following redox reaction:

Vlada [557]

Answer: The cell voltage of the given chemical reaction is 2.74 V

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction:

$Sn^{2+}(aq.)+Ba(s)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq.)+Sn(s)$

Here, gold is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons and nickel is getting oxidized because it is loosing electrons.

Oxidation half reaction: $Ba(s)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-;E^o_{Ba^{2+}/Ba}=-2.90V$

Reduction half reaction: $Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s);E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.14V$

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.14-(-2.90)=2.76V$

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Sn^{2+}]}{[Ba^{2+}]}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = ?V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +2.76 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

$[Ba^{2+}]=5.15M$

$[Sn^{2+}]=1.59M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=2.76-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{1.59}{5.15})\\\\E_{cell}=2.74V$

Hence, the cell voltage of the given chemical reaction is 2.74 V

What makes a metal and a non metal most

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reactivity of elements in the periodic table is based on the number of electrons in there outermost shell. Elements (metals) that have few electrons in there outermost shell are highly reactive because it is easier to lose fewer number of electrons (in the outermost shell during a reaction) than to lose more electrons in the outermost shell - thus metals that have one electron in there outermost shell are most reactive and are more reactive than those that have two electrons in there outermost shell. Hence, metals in group 1 are the most reactive metals because they all have one electron in there outermost shell.

Non-metals that have fewer electrons to complete there octet configuration are highly reactive because it is easier to gain fewer number of electrons (in the outermost shell during a reaction) than to gain more number of electrons - thus nonmetals that have seven electrons in there outermost shell are more reactive than nonmetals that have six electrons in there outermost shell. Hence, nonmetals in group 17 are the most reactive nonmetals because they contain seven electrons and have just one electron left to complete there octet configuration.
