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

A 2.2 M solution is made by with 0.45 moles of a solute. What is the final volume of this solution?
Savatey [412]

Answer: The final volume of this solution is 0.204 L.

Explanation:

Given: Molarity of solution = 2.2 M

Moles of solute = 0.45 mol

Molarity is the number of moles of solute present divided by volume in liters.

Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\2.2 M = \frac{0.45}{Volume}\\Volume = 0.204 L

Thus, we can conclude that the final volume of this solution is 0.204 L.

Which of the following could you do to increase the strength of an electromagnet? decrease the number of windings decrease the e
IgorLugansk [536]
I believe the most appropriate answer would be to change the core from wood to iron. This is because iron is a magnetic material while wood is not magnetic hence cant acquire magnetism. Other factors that would increase the strength of electromagnet would be; increasing the amount of electric current, and increasing the number of windings.

A student measures the mass of a 6.0 cm3 block of brown sugar to be 10.0 g. What is the density of the brown sugar?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

1.67g/cm3

Explanation:

The formula for density is d=\frac{m}{v} . The m variable stands for mass and the v variable stands for volume.

The mass of the brown sugar is 10.0g and the volume is 6.0cm3, so we can plug those values into the equation.

d=\frac{10g}{6cm^{3} }

d=1.67\frac{g}{cm^{3} }

Rounded to 3 significant figures, the density of the block of brown sugar is 1.67 g/cm3. If the mass is in grams and the volume is in cm3, the unit for the final answer is \frac{g}{cm^{3} } (grams per centimetres cubed).

The equation, DF + heat Imported Asset D + F, is an example of an endothermic reaction.
zvonat [6]
The answer is TRUE.

If the Energy is on the left, then the problem is true. If it is on the right then it would be negative, false, and considered as exothermic.

Endothermic reaction = the products are higher in energy than the reactants.
Exothermic reaction = a chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat.
