What are some vocab terms for exothermic

Combine the two half-reactions that give the spontaneous cell reaction with the smallest E∘. Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s) E∘=−0.45V I2(s)+

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: The spontaneous cell reaction having smallest $E^o$ is $I_2+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2I^-$

Explanation:

We are given:

$E^o_{(Fe^{2+}/Fe)}=-0.45V\\E^o_{(I_2/I^-)}=0.54V\\E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, iodine will always undergo reduction reaction, then copper and then iron.

The equation used to calculate electrode potential of the cell is:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{oxidation}+E^o_{reduction}$

The combination of the cell reactions follows:

Case 1:

Here, iodine is getting reduced and iron is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$I_2(s)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2I^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=0.45V$

Reduction half reaction: $I_2(s)+2e^-\rightarrow 2I_-(aq.)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.54V$

$E^o_{cell}=0.45+0.54=0.99V$

Thus, this cell will not give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Case 2:

Here, iodine is getting reduced and copper is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$I_2(s)+Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2I^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=-0.34V$

Reduction half reaction: $I_2(s)+2e^-\rightarrow 2I_-(aq.)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.54V$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.34+0.54=0.20V$

Thus, this cell will give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Case 3:

Here, copper is getting reduced and iron is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$Cu^{2+}(aq.)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cu(s)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=0.45V$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.34V$

$E^o_{cell}=0.45+0.34=0.79V$

Thus, this cell will not give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Hence, the spontaneous cell reaction having smallest $E^o$ is $I_2+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2I^-$

How are biotic factors different from abiotic factors in an environment?

exis [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Biotic factors are alive. Some examples include plants, animals and fungi.

The “a” in front of abiotic will negate the meaning of the word. Therefore, abiotic means not living. Some examples are rocks, water and air.

So, we know that biotic factors are living, and abiotic factors are not living. Therefore, B is correct.

Cobalt III hydroxide and nitric acid react according to the following balanced equation:

kati45 [8]

The mass of cobalt (III) needed is
m = 5.2 L (0.42 mol/L) ( 93 g/mol)
m = 97.65 g

The volume of nitric acid needed is
V = 5.2 L (0.42 mol/L) (3 mol / 1 mol) (1000 mL/1.6 mol)
V = 1968.75 mL

The moles of water produced is
n = 5.2 L (0.42 mol/L) (3 mol / 1 mol)
n = 3.15 moles

Which Act is the set of laws signed by former President Nixon that helps keep water clean in the United States?

otez555 [7]

Clean Water Act

Explanation:

The Clean Water Act in 1972 was a set of laws signed by former President Nixon that helps to keep water clean in the United States.

The act sets a safe limit for the amount and kind of pollutants that can be released into the water that won't contaminate it.
The acts charged the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) to set a safe limit for nature and amount of pollutants that can be released into the water.
This act is one of the several environmental polices in the United States that ensures a safe drinking water is available.
