Molecules will be very calm at - 272 °C.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

According to the temperature scale, the least temperature that we can ever achieve in our practical life is - 273°C. This is the temperature from where our kelvin scale of temperature or absolute temperature starts.

The temperature of a substance is the practical manifestation of the internal energy of the substance. And this internal energy is actually reserved in form of molecular vibrations of the substance. With increasing heat, the temperature of the substance increase because of the increase in molecular vibrations of the substance. With decrease in temperature, the vibrations lessen untill - 273°C or 0K where they become completely still. So cooling beyond that point isn't possible. So at - 272°C or 1K, the molecules will be very lightly vibrating and they will have the least possible internal energy.

Consider the electrolysis of molten barium chloride, BaCl2. (a) Write the half-reactions. (b) How many grams of barium metal can

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: a) Cathode(-): $Ba^+^2+2e^-\rightarrow Ba$

Anode(+): $2Cl^-\rightarrow Cl_2+2e^-$

b) 0.640 grams of Ba will be deposited.

Explanation: a) The problem is based on Faraday law of electrolysis. Molten barium chloride has $Ba^+^2$ ion and $Cl^-$ ion. Barium ion is reduced and chloride is oxidized. Reduction takes place at cathode and oxidation at anode. So, the half reactions will be:

Cathode(-): $Ba^+^2+2e^-\rightarrow Ba$

Anode(+): $2Cl^-\rightarrow Cl_2+2e^-$

b) The question asks, how many grams of barium metal can be produced by supplying 0.50 ampere for 30 minutes.

From the Cathode half-reaction, 1 mole of Ba is deposited by 2 moles of electrons and we know that 1 mole of electron carries one Faraday that is 96485 Coulomb.

Coulombs for 2 moles of electrons will be = 2*96485 C = 192970 C

So, we can say that, 192970 C will deposit 1 mole of Ba metal.

Total available coulombs can be calculated using the formula:

q=i*t

where, q is electric charge in coulomb, i is current in ampere and t is time in seconds.

$q=q=0.50A*30min(\frac{60sec}{1min})$

q = 900 C (note: 1 C = 1 A*sec)

Let's calculate how many moles of Ba will get deposited by 900 C.

$900C(\frac{1molBa}{192970C})$

= 0.00466 mole Ba

Convert the moles of Ba to grams and for this we multiply by molar mass of Ba which is 137.33 gram per mol.

$0.00466molBa(\frac{137.33g}{1mol})$

= 0.640 g Ba

So, 0.50 A for 30 minutes will deposit 0.640 grams of Ba metal.
