Answer:

E = 2.02 V

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to apply the Nernst equation which is:

E = E° - RT/nF lnQ

The value of RT/F can be simplified to just 0.059 because we are doing this experiment at 25 °C, and R and F are constants. so we need the value of Q which in this case is:

Q = [Mg²⁺] / [Ni²⁺]

We already have the concentrations, so, all we have left is the standard reduction potential, which are:

E° Mg = -2.38 V

E° Ni = -0.25 V

According to the overall reaction:

Mg(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) -------> Mg²⁺(aq) + Ni(s)

we can see that one element is reducting and the other is oxidizing, so we need to write the semi equation of reduction for each element:

Mg(s) ---------> Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻     E° = 2.38 V       oxidizing (Value of E° inverted)

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ -----------> Ni(s)      E° = -0.25 V     reducting

------------------------------------------------------------

Mg(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) -------> Mg²⁺(aq) + Ni(s)      E° = 2.13 V

We have the value of the standard potential, now we need to replace all given data into the nernst equation to solve for the cell potential:

E = 2.13 - 0.059/2 ln(0.757/0.0160)

E = 2.13 - 0.0295 ln(47.3125)

E = 2.13 - 0.11

E = 2.02 V

This is the cell potential

Consider the balanced reaction
VARVARA [1.3K]

The weight of aluminum are required to produce 8.70 moles of aluminum chloride is 234.9 g

<h3>What is the use of aluminium chloride ?</h3>

Aluminum chloride is useful for the treatment of palmar, plantar, and axillary hyperhidrosis.

Aluminum chloride has also been reported to be useful in facial and scalp hyperhidrosis

The balanced chemical equation represents the mole ratio in which the chemicals combine.

In this case, illustrates that 2 mol Al produces 2 mol Al Cl₃, hence these 2 chemicals are in a 1:1 ratio.

Thus, to produce 8.70 mol aluminium chloride, it will require 8.70 mol aluminium.

But this quantity of Al has a mass in grams of

m = n × Mr

   = 8.70 mol × 27g/mol

   = 234.9 g

Hence, The weight of aluminum are required to produce 8.70 moles of aluminum chloride is 234.9 g

In a molecule of methane, carbon (having four valence electrons) binds to four hydrogen atoms. How many lone pairs of electrons
antiseptic1488 [7]
None. To bind with an hydrogem atom, the carbon needs to ''share'' one of it's valence electron's with the hydrogen's valence electron. Therefore, forming 4 bounds means the carbon atom will share it's 4 valence electrons and there will be no lone electrons.
