The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always:_________
1 answer:
Answer: The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.
Explanation:
Electrolytic cells use electric currents to drive a non-spontaneous reaction forward.
Relation of standard free energy change and emf of cell
where,
= standard free energy change
n= no of electrons gained or lost
F= faraday's constant
= standard emf
= standard emf = -ve , for non spontaneous reaction
Thus
Thus standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.

Answer:
The answer to your question is 0.269 g of Pb
Explanation:
Data
Lead solution = 0.000013 M
Volume = 100 L
mass = 0.269 g
atomic mass Pb = 207.2 g
Chemical reaction
2Pb(s) + O₂(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) → 2H₂O(l) + 2Pb₂⁺(aq)
Process
1.- Calculate the mass of Pb in solution
Formula
Molarity =
Solve for number of moles
Number of moles = Volume x Molarity
Substitution
Number of moles = 100 x 0.000013
Number of moles = 0.0013
2.- Calculate the mass of Pb formed.
207.2 g of Pb ----------------- 1 mol
x g ----------------- 0.0013 moles
x = (0.0013 x 207.2) / 1
x = 0.269 g of Pb
