The air in a 2 L balloon at 0.998 atm and 34.0 °C. What will be its pressure if it is brought to a higher altitude where it now

occupies 3.5 L and is at 12.0 °C?

Answer: 0.529 atm

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 0.998 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 2 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 3.5 L

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $34.0^oC=273+34.0=307.0K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = $12.0^oC=273+12.0=285.0K$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{0.998\times 2}{307.0K}=\frac{P_2\times 3.5}{285.0K}$

$P_2=0.529atm$

Thus the pressure if it is brought to a higher altitude where it now occupies 3.5 L and is at 12.0 °C is 0.529 atm

A voltaic cell made of a Cr electrode in a solution of 1.0 M in Cr3+ and a gold electrode in a solution that is 1.0 M in Au3+.

Vikki [24]

Answer: a) Anode: $Cr\rightarrow Cr^{3+}+3e^-$

Cathode: $Au{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au$

b) Anode : Cr

Cathode : Au

c) $Au^{3+}+Cr\rightarrow Au+Cr^{3+}$

d) $E_{cell}=2.14V$

Explanation: -

a) The element Cr with negative reduction potential will lose electrons undergo oxidation and thus act as anode.The element Au with positive reduction potential will gain electrons undergo reduction and thus acts as cathode.

At cathode: $Au{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au$

At anode: $Cr\rightarrow Cr^{3+}+3e^-$

b) At cathode which is a positive terminal, reduction occurs which is gain of electrons.

At anode which is a negative terminal, oxidation occurs which is loss of electrons.

Gold acts as cathode ad Chromium acts as anode.

c) Overall balanced equation:

At cathode: $Au{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au$ (1)

At anode: $Cr\rightarrow Cr^{3+}+3e^-$ (2)

Adding (1) and (2)

$Au^{3+}+Cr\rightarrow Au+Cr^{3+}$

d) $E^0_(Cr^{3+}/Cr)$ = -0.74 V

$E^0_(Au^{3+}/Au)$ = 1.40 V

$E^0{cell}=E^0{cathode}-E^0{anode}=1.40-(-0.74)=2.14V$

Using Nernst equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Au^{3+}]}{[Cr^{3+}]^}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 3

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential = 2.14 V

$E_{cell}=2.14-\frac{0.0592}{3}\log \frac{[1.0}{[1.0]}$

$E_{cell}=2.14$

Thus the standard potential for an electrochemical cell with the cell reaction is 2.14 V.

Calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) required to raise the temperature of a 79.0 g sample of ethanol from 298.0 K to 385.0 K. Th

irina [24]

Answer:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the sample from 298 to 385 Kelvin, is 16.6 kJ

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Given data

A 79.0 g sample of ethanol raises from 298 K to 385 K

The specific heat of ethanol is 2.42J/g°C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the heat transfer

Q = m*Cp*ΔT

with m = the mass of the ethanol sample (in grams)

⇒ mass = 79 grams

with Cp = the specific heat capacity of ethanol (in J/g°C)

⇒ Cp = 2.42 J/g°C

with ΔT = the change of temperature (T2-T1)

⇒ ΔT = 385 K - 298K = 112 °C - 25 °C = 87

Q = 79 grams * 2.42 J/g°C * 87 = 16632.66 j = 16.6 kJ

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the sample from 298 to 385 Kelvin, is 16.6 kJ
