Answer:

Cell potential at 25 C is 1.69 V

Explanation:

The given half cell reactions are:

Oxidation (Anode)

Pb(s)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq, 0.16 M )+2e^{-}-------(1)

where E°= -0.13 V

Reduction (Cathode):

MnO_{4}^{-}(aq, 1.70 M )+4H^{+}(aq, 1.9 M )+3e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}(s)+2H_{2}O(l)------(2)

where E°= +1.51 V

The net reaction is obtained by:

Eq (1) * 3 + Eq(2) * 2

2MnO_{4}^{-}(aq, 1.70 M )+8H^{+}(aq, 1.9 M )+3Pb(s)\rightarrow  2MnO_{2}(s)+4H_{2}O(l)+3Pb^{2+}(aq, 0.16 M)

The value of E°(cell) is:

E_{cell}^{0}=E_{cathode}^{0}+E_{anode}^{0}=1.51-(-0.13)=1.64 V

The E(cell) at 25 C is calculated based on the nernst equation:

E_{cell}=E_{cell}^{0}-\frac{0.02568}{n}ln\frac{[Pb^{2+}]^{3}}{[H^{+}]^{8}[MnO_{4}^{-}]^{2}}

where n = number of electrons = 6

E_{cell}=1.64-\frac{0.02568}{6}ln\frac{[0.16]^{3}}{[1.9]^{8}[1.70]^{2}}=1.69 V

What element is likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine?
kirill [66]
Sodium (NA)
the sodium atom is donating its 1 valence electron to the chlorine atom. This creates a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. Notice that the net charge of the resulting compound is 0.

Answer:

1 mole of C2H6.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

We can determine the number of mole of C2H6 that reacted to produce 2 moles of CO2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C2H6 reacted to produce 4 moles of CO2.

Therefore, Xmol of C2H6 will react to produce 2 moles of CO2 i.e

Xmol of CO2 = (2 x 2)/4

Xmol of CO2 = 1 mole.

Therefore, 1 mole of C2H6 is required to produce 2 moles of CO2.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer is "0.0000190 and 2.7 J".

Explanation:

\to P_4=\frac{e^{-\beta}(4+\frac{1}{2}) hev}{2vb}\\\\

         =\frac{e^{-9(1.35)}}{0.278v}\\\\=\frac{e^{-12.5}}{0.278}\\\\=\frac{0.000005285}{0.278}\\\\=0.0000190

Given:

h=6.626 \times 10^{-34}\\\\c=3\times 10^{10}\\\\v=558\ cm^{-1}\\\\K=1.38 \times 10^{-23}\\\\ T=298\\\\

E=\frac{hcv}{KT}\\\\

by putting the value into the above formula so, the value is 2.7 J
