First, we need to determine the half reaction of magnesium. It would be expressed as:
Mg2+ + 2e- = Mg
Given the mass of magnesium metal that is produced, we calculate the total charge of the electrolysis by the relations we can get from the half reaction. We do as follows:
4.50 kg Mg ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 24.305 g ) ( 2 mol e- / 1 mol Mg ) ( 96500 C / 1 mol e- ) = 35733388.2 C
We are given the applied EMF in units of V. This value is equal to J/C. So, 5 V is equal to 5 J/C.
35733388.2 C (5 J/C) = 178666941 J
178666941 J ( 1 kW-h / 3.6x10^6 J ) = 49.63 kW-h
Answer:
5.17.
Explanation:
<em>∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.
</em>
[OH⁻] = 1.5 x 10⁻⁹ M.
∴ [H₃O⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/(1.5 x 10⁻⁹ M) = 6.66 × 10⁻⁶ M.
∵ pH = - log[H₃O⁺]
<em>∴ pH = - log(6.66 × 10⁻⁶ M) = 5.17.
</em>
The percentage of yield was 777.78%
<u>Explanation:</u>
We have the equation,
Be
[s] + 2
HCl
[aq] → BeCl
2(aq] +
H
2(g] ↑ Be
(s] +
2
HCl
[aq] → BeCl
2(aq] +
H
2(g]
↑
To find the percent yield we have the formula
Percentage of Yield= what you actually get/ what you should theoretically get x 100
=3.5 g/0.45 g 100
= 777.78 %
The percentage of yield was 777.78%
