Consider two electrochemical reactions: A and B. Reaction A results in the transfer of 2 mol of electrons per mole of reactant a

nd generates a current of 5 Amps on an electrode 2 cm2 in area. Reaction B results in the transfer of 3 mol of electrons per mole of reactant and generates a current of 15 Amps on an electrode having 5 cm2 in area. What are the net reaction rates for reactions A and B (in mol reactant per square centimeter per second)

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The rate of the electrochemical reaction per unit area is given by

r=\frac{i}{nFA}

where r is the Reaction Rate (in mol s-1 cm-2)

i is the Current Generated (in A)

n is the Number of moles of electrons per mole of reactant

F is Faraday's Constant= 96,500 C mol-1

A is the Electrode Area (in cm2)

(Unit of current should be expressed in terms of Columb per second, C s-1 to obtain reaction rate in mol s-1 cm-2)

Net Reaction Rate for Reaction A:

Given: Number of moles of A, n=2 moles

Current generated, i=5 A=5 C s-1

Electrode Area, A= 2cm2

Thus reaction rate is

\mathbf{r=\frac{5 C s^{-1}}{2*96500 C mol^{-1} *2 cm^{2}}= 1.3*10^{-5} mol s^{-1} cm^{-2}}

Net Reaction Rate for Reaction B:

Given: Number of moles of B, n=3 moles

Current generated, i=15 A=15 C s-1

Electrode Area, A= 5cm2

Thus reaction rate is

\mathbf{r=\frac{15 C s^{-1}}{3*96500 C mol^{-1}*5cm^{2}}= 1.036*10^{-5} mol s^{-1} cm^{-2}}

Reaction A has higher net reaction rate.

How does the circultatory system and muscular system work together?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

d.

Explanation:

i was think b at first but that doesnt really explain how it gets to the circulatory system so d because without the the regulation of the heart rate and oxgen rich blood the muscular system can do absolutely nothing

How many grams of diphosphorus pentoxide result if 100.0 g of phosphorus are combined with sufficient oxygen?
gregori [183]
Answer is: 230 g.
Chemical reaction: P₄ + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅.
m(P₄) = 100 g.
M(P₄) = 4 · 31 g/mol = 124 g/mol.
n(P₄) = m(P₄) ÷ M(P₄) = 100g ÷ 124g/mol = 0,806 mol.
From reaction: n(P₄) : n(P₂O5) = 1 : 2.
n(P₂O₅) = 1,612 mol.
m(P₂O₅) = 1,612 mol · 142g/mol = 230g.
M - molar mass.
n - amount of substance.
