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

Describe the ammonium ion, NH4+, and the sulfate ion, SO42-. What compounds would these ions form with potassium and fluoride io
frozen [14]
<span>Cations mix with anions, so you know NH4+ won't mix with K+ and SO4(2-) won't miix with F-. For the reason that NH4+ and F- together have single charges, they'll mix in a 1:1 ratio, NH4F. There's two charges on SO4(2-), so it'll need two K+ to mix with, K2SO4.</span>

Hi I need help with the Lab report for the 'Flame Lab' in edge
Ludmilka [50]

Flame test is a qualitative test which is used to identify the metal and metalloid ion in the sample.

<h3>What is Flame Test ?</h3>

A Flame test is used to identify the metal and metalloid ion in the sample. Flame test is a qualitative test. Not every metal ion emit color when it is heated in the gas burner.

<h3>What is the Purpose of Flame test ?</h3>

The purpose of flame test is used to find the identities of ions in two solutions of unknown composition by comparing the colors they produce.

<h3>What are the material used ?</h3>
  • Bunsen Burner
  • Matches
  • Gloves
  • Weighing dishes
  • Beakers

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Flame test is a qualitative test which is used to identify the metal and metalloid ion in the sample.

216 J of energy is required to raise the temperature of a piece of aluminum from 15.0º C to to 35º C.
ddd [48]

Answer: 12g

Explanation:

The amount of energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that:

Q = 216 joules

Mass of aluminium = ? (let unknown value be Z)

C = 0.90 JºC-1g-1

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 35°C - 15°C = 20°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

216 J = Z x 0.90 JºC-1g-1 x 20°C

216 J = Z x 18 J°g-1

Z = (216J/18 J°g-1)

Z = 12g

Thus, the mass of the aluminium is 12grams
