Use the standard half-cell potentials listed below to calculate the standard cell potential for the following reaction occurring

in an electrochemical cell at 25°C. (The equation is balanced.) 3 Cl2(g) + 2 Fe(s) → 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 2 Fe3+(aq)Cl2(g) + 2 e- --> 2 Cl-(aq); E� = +1.36 VFe3+(aq) + 3 e- -->Fe(s); E� = -0.04 VA. +1.32 VB. -1.32 VC. -1.40 VD. +1.40 VE. +4.16 V

Answer:

The standard cell potential is 1.40 V. The correct option is the option  D (+1.40 V)

Explanation:

Oxide-reduction reactions, also called redox, involve the transfer or transfer of electrons between two or more chemical species. In these reactions two substances interact: the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.

An oxidizing element or oxidizing agent is one that reaches a stable energy state as a result of which the oxidant is reduced and gains electrons. The oxidizing agent causes oxidation of the reducing agent generating the loss of electrons of the substance and, therefore, oxidizes in the process.

In other words, the oxidizing agent is that chemical species that in a redox process accepts electrons released by the reducing agent and, therefore, is reduced in said process. The oxidizing agent is reduced because, upon receiving electrons from the reducing agent, a decrease in the value of the charge or oxidation number of one of the atoms of the oxidizing agent is induced .

Electrochemical cells, galvanic cells or batteries are called devices that are capable of transforming chemical energy originated in a spontaneous redox process into electrical energy.

The cellular potential is generally in standard conditions, that is, 1 M with respect to solute concentrations in solution and 1 atm for gases.

In this case you have the reaction:

3 Cl₂(g) + 2 Fe(s) → 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 2 Fe³⁺(aq)

In this case the following half-reactions occur:

Semi-reaction of oxidation ( an atom or group of atoms loses electrons, or increases its positive charges): Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 e- -->Fe(s); E⁰ = -0.04 V

Semi-reaction of reduction (an atom or group of atoms gains electrons, increasing its negative charges): Cl₂(g) + 2 e- --> 2 Cl-(aq); E⁰=1.36 V

In an electrochemical cell at 25°C  the potentials of the  semi-reactions are usually measured  in the sense of reduction  and generally the standard potential between both electrochemical cells will be:

E^{0} =E^{0} _{reduction} -E^{0} _{oxidation}

E⁰=1.36 V - (-0.04 V)

E⁰=1.36 V + 0.04 V

<em>E⁰=1.40 V</em>

<em><u>The standard cell potential is 1.40 V. The correct option is the option  D (+1.40 V)</u></em>

Calculate the energy E of a sample of 3.50 mol of ideal oxygen gas (O2) molecules at a temperature of 310 K. Assume that the mol
love history [14]

Answer:

13.53 kJ

Explanation:

The energy of a gas can be calculated by the equation:

E = (3/2)*n*R*T

Where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol.K), and T is the temperature.

E = (3/2)*3.5*8.314*310

E = 13,531.035 J

E = 13.53 kJ

For a trip to the Moon, a rocket must lift off from
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

20 m/s^2

Explanation:

given,

final velocity (v) = 6000m/s

initial velocity (u) = 0m/s

time taken (t) = 5 minutes

= 5×60second

= 300second

acceleration(a) = ?

we know that,

a = (v-u)/t

= (6000-0)/300

= 20 m/s^2
