Prove electrode potential is concentration dependent

1 answer:

5 0

Electrode potential is concentration dependent as it is composed of two half-cells with same electrodes but different concentrations. One acting to dilute a more concentrated solution, while the other concentrates a more diluted solution — which then creates a voltage that is in equilibrium. This why we need both positive and negative sides of a battery as a power source and make something work.

If I have 4 moles of a gas at a pressure of 5.6 atm and a volume of 12 Liters, what is the temperature in Kelvin(K)

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

205 K (to 3 significant figures)

Explanation:

Assuming that 4 moles of the gas behaves like an ideal gas and obey the kinetic molecular theory.

Let's apply the ideal gas law, pV= nRT.

Here p denotes the pressure of the gas, V is for volume, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the universal gas constant and T is the temperature.

Substitute the given information into the equation:

5.6 atm ×12 L= 4 mol ×R ×T

Since pressure is in atm and volume is in L, we can use R= 0.08206 L atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹.

5.6 atm ×12 L= 4 mol ×0.08206 L atm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ ×T

T= 67.2 ÷0.32824

T= 204.73 (5 s.f.)

T= 205 K (3 s.f.)

Part III.The two reactions involved in quantitatively determining the amount of iodate in solution are: IO3-(aq) 5 I-(aq) 6 H (a

slega [8]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\math{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$

Explanation:

The I₂ is the common substance in the two equations.

(1) IO₃⁻ + 5I⁻ + 6H⁺ ⟶ 3I₂ + 3H₂O

{2) I₂ + 2S₂O₃²⁻ ⟶ 2I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻

From Equation (1), the molar ratio of iodate to iodine is

$\dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{3}{1}$

From Equation (2), the molar ratio of iodine to thiosulfate is

$\dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} = \dfrac{2}{1}$

Combining the two ratios, we get

$\text{Stoichiometric factor} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{\text{S$_{2}$O}_{3}^{2-}}{\text{I}_{2}} \times \dfrac{\text{I}_{2}}{\text{IO}_{3}^{-}} = \dfrac{2}{1} \times \dfrac{3}{1} = \mathbf{\dfrac{6}{1}}\\\\\text{The stoichiometric factor is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{\text{6 mol thiosulfate}}{\text{1 mol iodate}}}}$}$

Someone please help i don’t have much time left

REY [17]

Answer: Energy of reactants = 30, Energy of products = 10

Exothermic

Activation energy for forward reaction is 10.

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Energy of reactants = 30

Energy of products = 10

Thus as energy of the product < energy of the reactant, the reaction is exothermic.

Activation energy $(E_a)$ is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

$E_a$ for forward reaction is (40-30) = 10.
