A concentration cell is built based on the following half reactions by using two pieces of zinc as electrodes, two Zn2+ solution

s, 0.129 M and 0.427 M, and all other materials needed for a galvanic cell. What will the potential of this cell be when the cathode concentration of Zn2+ has changed by 0.047 M at 291 K?
Zn2+ + 2 e- ? Zn Eo = -0.761 V

Explanation:

The given reaction at cathode will be as follows.

At cathode: Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Zn,     E_{o} = -0.761 V

At anode: Zn \rightarrow Zn^{2+} + 2e^{-},       E_{o} = 0.761

Therefore, net reaction equation will be as follows.

                 Zn^{2+} + Zn \rightarrow Zn + Zn^{2+}

Initial:     0.129         -            -       0.427

Change:  -0.047      -            -     -0.047

Equilibrium: (0.129 - 0.047)      (0.427 - 0.047)

                = 0.082                       = 0.38

As E^{o}_{cell} for the given reaction is zero.

Hence, equation for calculating new cell potential will be as follows.

                   E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{RT}{nF} ln \frac{[Zn^{2+}]_{products}}{[Zn^{2+}]_{reactants}}

                              = 0 - \frac{8.314 atm L/mol K \times 291 K}{2 \times 96500} ln \frac{0.38}{0.082}

                              = 0.019

Thus, we can conclude that the cell potential of the given cell is 0.019.

Choose the answer that best completes the following statement: When an aluminum atom reacts so as to attain a noble gas electron
boyakko [2]

The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2  8.  The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of  Neon has been formed in the process.
