I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The topic that the teacher is talking about would be distillation of a mixture. Gasoline is processed by distillation. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Answer:
a) cu2+ + 1Hg (l) 1Cl- equilibrium cu (s) + Hg2Cl2 (s)
b) 0.068 V.
Explanation:
A) Cu2+ + 2e- euilibrium cu (s)
Hg2Cl2 + 2e- equilibrium 2Hg (l) + 1cl-
Cell Reaction: cu2+ + 1Hg (l) 1Cl- equilibrium cu (s) + Hg2Cl2 (s)
B) To calculate the cell voltage
E = E_o Cu2+/Cu - (0.05916 V / 2) log 1/Cu2+
putting values we get
= 0.339V + (90.05916V/2)log(0.100) = 0.309V
E_cell = E Cu2+/Cu - E SCE = 0.309 V - 0.241 V = 0.068V.
