First we will calculate free energy change:
ΔG₀ = ΔH₀ - (T * ΔS₀)
= - 793 kJ - (298 * - 0.319 kJ/K) = - 698 kJ
We know the relation between free energy change and cell potential is:
ΔG₀ = - n F E⁰ where
F = Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mol
n = 2 (given by equation that the electrons involved is 2)
ΔG₀ = - 2 x 96485 x E⁰
- 698 kJ = - 2 x 96485 x E⁰
E⁰ = (698 x 1000) / (2 x 96485) = 3.62 volts
Mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 1.95 g
V KOH = 0.350 L
[KOH] = 0.220 M
Kf = 5.0 x 10⁹
molar mass of Co(NO₃)₂ = 182.943 g/mol
so [Co(NO₃)₂] = 1.95 / (0.350 * 182.943) = 0.03045 M
[Co²⁺] = 0.03045 M
[OH⁻] = 0.22 M
chemical reaction:
Co²⁺(aq) + 4 OH⁻ ⇄ Co(OH)₄²⁻
I (M) 0.03045 0.22 0
C (M) - 0.03045 - 4 (0.03045) 0.03045
E (M) - x 0.22 - 4(0.03045) 0.03045
= 0.0982
Kf = [Co(OH)₄²⁻] / [Co⁺²][OH⁻]⁴
5.0 x 10⁹ = (0.03045) / x (0.0982)⁴
x = 6.5489 x 10⁻⁸
at equilibrium:
[Co²⁺] = 6.54 x 10⁻⁸
[OH⁻] = 0.0982 M
[Co(OH)₄²⁻] = 0.03045 M
I do not see any mistakes so I think you’re good!
I think Both protons and neutrons (and their anti-particles) froze out at 1013 K, about 0.0001 seconds after the Big Bang. Protons and neutrons are sub atomic particles of an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. Proton is the positively charge particle while the neutron has no charge. The proton positive charge accounts for the positive nuclear charge.
