<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

What are the different phases of matter and their characteristics?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The five phases of matter. There are four natural states of matter: Solids, liquids, gases and plasma. The fifth state is the man-made Bose-Einstein condensates. In a solid, particles are packed tightly together so they don't move much.

When heated to 150 ºC, CuSO4.5 H2O loses its water of hydration as gaseous H2O. A 2.50 g sample of the compound is placed in a s
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Water pressure 0.5 atm

Total Pressure= 2.27  atm

Explanation:

To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.

First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:

P₁ x T₂   = P₂ x T₁  ∴  P₂ =  P₁ x T₂ / T₁

For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:

   PV = nRT  ∴ P =  nRT/V

n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.

2.50 g  CuSo₄ 5H₂O x  1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

the amount water of hydration is

= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

= 0.05 mo H₂O

pressure of dry air at the final temperature,

P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm

Pressure of water :

P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm

∴ Total Pressure =  1.67 atm

H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm
