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>

Identify the products formed in this Brønsted-Lowry reaction.<br><br> HPO2−4+NO−2↽−−⇀acid+base
klemol [59]

Answer: The products formed in this Bronsted-Lowry reaction are HNO_{2} and PO^{2-}_{4}.

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, acids are the species which donate hydrogen ions to another specie in a chemical reaction.

Bases are the species which accept a hydrogen ion upon chemical reaction.

For example, HPO^{2-}_{4} + NO^{-}_{2} \rightleftharpoons HNO_{2} + PO^{2-}_{4}

Here, the products formed in this Bronsted-Lowry reaction are HNO_{2} and PO^{2-}_{4}.

Thus, we can conclude that the products formed in this Bronsted-Lowry reaction are HNO_{2} and PO^{2-}_{4}.

Consider the following mechanism for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution. H+ + H2O2 ? H3
Margarita [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate law for the reaction is \text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is the expression which is used to express the rate of the reaction in terms of the molar concentration of reactants where each term is raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient respectively from a balanced chemical equation.

In a mechanism of the reaction, the slow step in the mechanism determines the rate of the reaction.

The chemical equation for the oxidation of bromide ions by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous acid solution follows:

2H^++2Br^-+H_2O_2\rightarrow Br_2+2H_2O

The intermediate reaction of the mechanism follows:

<u>Step 1:</u>  H^++H_2O_2\rightleftharpoons H_3O_2^+;\text{ (fast)}

<u>Step 2:</u>  H_3O_2^++Br^-\rightarrow HOBr+H_2O;\text{(slow)}

<u>Step 3:</u>  HOBr+H^++Br^-\rightarrow Br_2+H_2O;\text{(fast)}

As, step 2 is the slow step. It is the rate determining step

Rate law for the reaction follows:

\text{Rate}=k[H_3O_2^+][Br^-]          ......(1)

As, [H_3O_2^+] is not appearing as a reactant in the overall reaction. So, we apply steady state approximation in it.

Applying steady state approximation for [H_3O_2^+] from step 1, we get:

K=\frac{[H_3O_2^+]}{[H^+][H_2O_2]}  

[H_3O_2^+]=K[H^+][H_2O_2]

Putting the value of [H_3O_2^+] in equation 1, we get:

\text{Rate}=k.K[H^+][H_2O_2][Br^-]\\\\\text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]

Hence, the rate law for the reaction is \text{Rate}=k'[H+][H_2O_2][Br^-]
