A standard galvanic cell is constructed so that the overall cell reaction is as given below where M is an unknown metal. 2 Al3+(

aq) + 3 M(s) 3 M2+(aq) + 2 Al(s) If ΔG° = -411 kJ for the overall cell reaction, identify the metal used to construct the standard cell.

Answer:

magnesium metal

Explanation:

According to the redox reaction equation, six electrons were transferred hence n=6 and F= Faraday's constant 96500C. ∆G° is given hence E°cell can easily be calculated as follows:

From ∆G°= -nFE°cell

E°cell= -∆G°/nF= -(-411×10^3/96500×6)

E°cell= 0.7098V

But for Al3+(aq)/Al(s) half cell, E°= -1.66V from standard table of reduction potentials.

E°cell= E°cathode- E°anode but Al3+(aq)/Al(s) half cell is the cathode

Hence

E°anode=E°cathode - E°cell

E°anode= -1.66-0.7098= -2.37V

This is the reduction potential of Mg hence the anode material was magnesium metal

What information is needed to calculate the average atomic mass of an element?(1 point)
g100num [7]

Answer:

Taking into account the definition of average atomic mass and isotopes of an element, the information that you need is the masses of its isotopes and their percent abundances.

Each chemical element is characterized by the number of protons in its nucleus, which is called the atomic number Z.

But in the nucleus of each element it is also possible to find neutrons, whose number can vary. The atomic mass (A) is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus.

The same chemical element can be made up of different atoms, that is, their atomic numbers are the same, but the number of neutrons is different. These atoms are called isotopes of the element.

The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of its natural isotopes. Therefore, the atomic mass of an element is not a whole number.

The weighted average means that not all isotopes have the same percentage.

In other words, the atomic masses of chemical elements are usually calculated as the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element, taking into account the relative abundance of each of them.

How does density differ from concentration?
Aliun [14]
The main difference between concentration and density is that concentration refers to how much of a substance is present in a mixture, whereas density refers to the mass of a substance per unit volume.

Lt takes 4 hr 39 min for a 2.00-mg sample of radium-230 to decay to 0.25 mg. what is the half-life of radium-230?
Rufina [12.5K]
Radioactive decay => C = Co { e ^ (- kt) |

Data:

Co = 2.00 mg
C = 0.25 mg
t = 4 hr 39 min

Time conversion: 4 hr 39 min = 4.65 hr

1) Replace the data in the equation to find k

C = Co { e ^ (-kt) } => C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln { C / Co} => kt = ln {Co / C}

=> k = ln {Co / C} / t =  ln {2.00mg / 0.25mg} / 4.65 hr = 0.44719

2) Use C / Co  = 1/2 to find the hallf-life

C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln (C / Co)

=> -kt = ln (1/2) => kt = ln(2) => t = ln (2) / k

t = ln(2) / 0.44719 = 1.55 hr.

Answer: 1.55 hr
