Activation energy is a thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a reaction. It is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur. The energy can be in the form of kinetic or potential energy. This concept was introduced by Svante Arrhenius, which brought about the Arrhenius equation which is a formula used to determine rate of reactions.

How much time would it take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A ? Express your answer using two significant
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

1.8 × 10² s

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction that occurs upon the electroplating of copper.

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Cu(s)

We will establish the following relationships:

  • 1 g = 1,000 mg
  • The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol
  • When 1 mole of Cu is deposited, 2 moles of electrons circulate.
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,486 C (Faraday's constant).
  • 1 A = 1 C/s

The time  that it would take for 336 mg of copper to be plated at a current of 5.6 A is:

336mgCu \times \frac{1gCu}{1,000mgCu} \times \frac{1molCu}{63.55gCu} \times \frac{2mole^{-} }{1molCu} \times \frac{94,486C}{1mole^{-}} \times \frac{1s}{5.6C} = 1.8 \times 10^{2} s

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential -1.33V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode o
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

a. -0.63 V

b. No

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Standard reduction potential of the anode (E°red): -1.33 V
  • Minimum standard cell potential (E°cell): 0.70 V

Step 2: Calculate the required standard reduction potential of the cathode

The galvanic cell must provide at least 0.70V of electrical power, that is:

E°cell > 0.70 V    [1]

We can calculate the standard reduction potential of the cathode (E°cat) using the following expression.

E°cell = E°cat - E°an   [2]

If we combine [1] and [2], we get,

E°cat - E°an > 0.70 V

E°cat > 0.70 V + E°an

E°cat > 0.70 V + (-1.33 V)

E°cat > -0.63 V

The minimum E°cat is -0.63 V and there is no maximum E°cat.

Several kinds of bears are found on Earth. Most bears are brown or black, but one type of bear, the polar bear, is white. What p
jeka94

This is called adaptation. An example would be a polar bear with white fur. They have this to be more efficent hunters, as they use it as a type of camouflage in order to sneak up on prey. Brown bear use this in the same way but their environment requires them to be brown in order to blend in beter with trees. So basicly adaptation
