<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

The table shows the average distance between the molecules of a substance in the solid, liquid, and gaseous states.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Y > X > Z

Explanation:

The intermoecular forces refer to forces that exist between molecules of a substance. They are the secondary bond forces that hold particles of a substance together in a particular state of matter.

The shorter the distance between molecules, the greater the magnitude of intermolecular force between the molecules.

The molecules of Y are at the shortest distance from each other hence they have the highest magnitude of intermolecular forces. Followed by X and lastly Z with the greatest distance between the largest intermolecular distance.
