<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.);E^o_{cell}=+1.53V

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow Cr(s);E^o=-0.73V\\\\Ag^+(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o=+0.80V

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, silver will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The half reactions for the above cell is:

Oxidation half reaction: Cr(s)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}+3e^-;E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.73V

Reduction half reaction: Ag^{+}+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag}=0.80V       ( × 3)

Net equation:  3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

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

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

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=0.80-(-0.73)=1.53V

Hence, the correct answer is 3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.);E^o_{cell}=+1.53V

What is the mass of an object with a net force of 10 N accelerating at 2 m/s^2??
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

5kg

Explanation:

Force = Mass x acceleration

F = ma

m = F/a = 10N/2m/s^2

m = 10/2 = 5kg

The standard unit for mass = Kilogram

what is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to uv rays of frequency 1.4×1015hz?
Anika [276]
<span>The equation you used is KE=hv-hv0, where h=6.63*10^-34 (constant). You multiply h by 1.5*10^15. Multiply h by the threshold freq of cesium (from part A). Subtract the second answer from the first answer, and you get the kinetic energy. Hope this helps.</span>
