Answer:

2.83 g

Explanation:

At constant temperature and pressure, Using Avogadro's law

\frac {V_1}{n_1}=\frac {V_2}{n_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 2.12 L

V₂ = 3.12 L

n₁ = 0.120 moles

n₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

\frac{2.12}{0.120}=\frac{3.12}{n_2}

2.12n_2=0.12\cdot \:3.12

2.12n_2=0.3744

n_2=\frac{0.3744}{2.12}

n_2=0.17660

n₂ = 0.17660 moles

Molar mass of methane gas = 16.05 g/mol

So, Mass = Moles*Molar mass = 0.17660 * 16.05 g = 2.83 g

<u>2.83 g  are in the piston.</u>

A 100.0 mL solution containing 0.864 g of maleic acid (MW=116.072 g/mol) is titrated with 0.276 M KOH. Calculate the pH of the s
Lilit [14]

Answer:

pH = 1.32

Explanation:

                 H₂M + KOH ------------------------ HM⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

This problem involves a weak diprotic acid which we can solve by realizing they amount  to buffer solutions.  In the first  deprotonation if all the acid is not consumed we will have an equilibrium of a wak acid and its weak conjugate base. Lets see:

So first calculate the moles reacted and produced:

n H₂M = 0.864 g/mol x 1 mol/ 116.072 g  =  0.074 mol H₂M

54 mL x  1L / 1000 mL x 0. 0.276 moles/L = 0.015 mol KOH

it is clear that the maleic acid will not be completely consumed, hence treat it as an equilibrium problem of a buffer solution.

moles H₂M left = 0.074 - 0.015 = 0.059

moles HM⁻ produced = 0.015

Using the Henderson - Hasselbach equation to solve for pH:

ph = pKₐ + log ( HM⁻/ HA) = 1.92 + log ( 0.015 / 0.059) = 1.325

Notes: In the HH equation we used the moles of the species since the volume is the same and they will cancel out in the quotient.

For polyprotic acids the second or third deprotonation contribution to the pH when there is still unreacted acid ( Maleic in this case) unreacted.

Use the standard half-cell potentials listed below to calculate the standard cell potential for the following reaction occurring
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The standard cell potential is 1.40 V. The correct option is the option  D (+1.40 V)

Explanation:

Oxide-reduction reactions, also called redox, involve the transfer or transfer of electrons between two or more chemical species. In these reactions two substances interact: the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.

An oxidizing element or oxidizing agent is one that reaches a stable energy state as a result of which the oxidant is reduced and gains electrons. The oxidizing agent causes oxidation of the reducing agent generating the loss of electrons of the substance and, therefore, oxidizes in the process.

In other words, the oxidizing agent is that chemical species that in a redox process accepts electrons released by the reducing agent and, therefore, is reduced in said process. The oxidizing agent is reduced because, upon receiving electrons from the reducing agent, a decrease in the value of the charge or oxidation number of one of the atoms of the oxidizing agent is induced .

Electrochemical cells, galvanic cells or batteries are called devices that are capable of transforming chemical energy originated in a spontaneous redox process into electrical energy.

The cellular potential is generally in standard conditions, that is, 1 M with respect to solute concentrations in solution and 1 atm for gases.

In this case you have the reaction:

3 Cl₂(g) + 2 Fe(s) → 6 Cl⁻(aq) + 2 Fe³⁺(aq)

In this case the following half-reactions occur:

Semi-reaction of oxidation ( an atom or group of atoms loses electrons, or increases its positive charges): Fe³⁺(aq) + 3 e- -->Fe(s); E⁰ = -0.04 V

Semi-reaction of reduction (an atom or group of atoms gains electrons, increasing its negative charges): Cl₂(g) + 2 e- --> 2 Cl-(aq); E⁰=1.36 V

In an electrochemical cell at 25°C  the potentials of the  semi-reactions are usually measured  in the sense of reduction  and generally the standard potential between both electrochemical cells will be:

E^{0} =E^{0} _{reduction} -E^{0} _{oxidation}

E⁰=1.36 V - (-0.04 V)

E⁰=1.36 V + 0.04 V

<em>E⁰=1.40 V</em>

<em><u>The standard cell potential is 1.40 V. The correct option is the option  D (+1.40 V)</u></em>
