The measured voltage of an electrochemical cell consisting of pure nickel immersed in a solution of Ni2+ ions of unknown concent

ration and pure cadmium immersed in a 5.00 M solution of Cd2+ ions was 0.133 V. The nickel was the cathode in this electrochemical cell and the experiment was conducted at 25 ºC. What was the concentration of Ni2+ ions in the solution?

Answer:

[Ni²⁺] = 1.33 M

Explanation:

To do this, we need to use the Nernst equation which (in standard conditions of temperature)

E = E° - RT/nF lnQ

However R and F are constant, and the reaction is taking place in 25 °C so we can assume the nernst equation like this:

E = E° - 0.05916/n logQ

As the nickel is in the cathode, this means that this element is being reducted while Cadmium is being oxidized, therefore the REDOX reaction would be:

Cd(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) --------> Cd²⁺(aq) + Ni(s)

With this, Q:

Q = [Cd²⁺] / [Ni²⁺]

Now, we need to know the value of the standard reduction potentials, which can be calculated with the semi equations of reduction and oxidation:

Cd(s) ------------> Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻       E°₁ = 0.40 V

Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ -------------> Ni(s)        E°₂ = -0.25 V

E° = E°₁ + E°₂

E° = 0.40 - 0.25 = 0.15 V

Now that we have all the data, we can solve for the [Ni²⁺]:

0.133 = 0.15 - 0.05916/2 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

0.133 - 0.15 = -0.05916/2 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

-0.017 = -0.02958 log(5/[Ni²⁺])

-0.017/-0.02958 = log(5/[Ni²⁺])

0.5747 = log(5/[Ni²⁺])

10^(0.5747) = 5/[Ni²⁺]

[Ni²⁺] = 5/3.7558

<h2>[Ni²⁺] = 1.33 M</h2>

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

30 kJ

Explanation:

Arrhenius equation is given by:

k=Aexp(-Ea/RT)\\

Here, k is rate constant, A is Pre-exponential factor, Ea is activation energy and T is temperature.

taking natural log of both side

ln k = ln A - Ea/RT

In Arrhenius equation, A, R and T are constant.

Therefore,

ln\frac{k_2}{k_1} =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}

Ea_1-Ea_2 is the  lowering in activation energy by enzyme,

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = 37°C + 273.15 = 310 K

\frac{k_2}{k_1} =1\times 10^5

ln 1\times 10^5 =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}\\{Ea_1-Ea_2} = 11.512 \times 8.314 \times 310\\=29670\ J\\=30\ kJ

Please help fast, I will give brainliest.
frez [133]

Answer:

The reaction is favorable at all temperatures

Explanation:

Since G = H - TS, -H and +S would result in G = -H -TS, which will always be negative.
