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>

rutherford's experiment indicated that matter was not as uniform as it appears what part of his experimental results implied thi
MaRussiya [10]

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.

According to Rutherford model of the atom:

1) Atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

2) Major space in an atom is empty.

3) Atoms nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.  

4) An atom is electrically neutral.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

1947 the United States Army had an excess of metallic sodium left over from World War II and determined that the alkaline waters of Lake Lenore would be a good spot to dump and neutralize the acidic element, which reacts with water with intense explosions.
