<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The largest positive cell potential is of cell having 1st and 4th half reactions.

<u>For 2:</u> The standard electrode potential of the cell is 1.539 V

<u>For 3:</u> The smallest positive cell potential is of cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions. The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.46 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

We are given:

Ag^++(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^+/Ag}=0.799V\\\\Cu^{2+}+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s);E^o_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}=0.337V\\\\Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Ni(s);E^o_{Ni^{2+}/Ni}=-0.28V\\\\Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow Cr(s);E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.74V

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 2nd half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Copper will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-0.337=0.462V

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 3rd half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Nickel will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.28)=1.079V

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 4th half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.74)=1.539V

  • <u>Cell having 2nd and 3rd half reactions:</u>

Copper has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Nickel will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.337-(-0.28)=0.617V

  • <u>Cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions:</u>

Nickel has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=-0.28-(-0.74)=0.46V

Hence,

<u>For 1:</u> The largest positive cell potential is of cell having 1st and 4th half reactions.

<u>For 2:</u> The standard electrode potential of the cell is 1.539 V

<u>For 3:</u> The smallest positive cell potential is of cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions. The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.46 V

If a chemist has 17.8 moles of N2H4O3, what is the mass of the sample?<br><br> show work plz
harkovskaia [24]

(\frac{17.8mole}{1} )( \frac{66grams}{1mole} ) \:  \:  \:  \:  17.8 \times 66 = 1.17 \times  {10}^{3} grams
the way that you get 66 is by adding he atomic mass unit of each atom in the formula. so N2 is 14 + 14 H4 is 1 * 4 and 03 is 16 * 3

What do all group 2 elements have in common? (2 points) they all gain two electrons to form a stable outer energy level. They fo
NemiM [27]
The correct answer would be the last option.  The property that is common to all group 2 elements is that they  tend to form ionic bonds by losing electrons making these atoms positive charge. They are called cations. These elements are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and radium.
