Write the cell notation for an electrochemical cell consisting of an anode where Cr2^+(aq) is oxidized to Cr3^+(aq) at a platinu

m electrode and a cathode where Co2^+(aq) is reduced to Co(s) . Assume all aqueous solutions have a concentration of 1 mol/L and gases have a pressure of 1 bar.

Answer:

Overall cell notation

Cr2^+(aq)/Cr3^+(aq)// Co^2+(aq)/ Co(s)

Explanation:

Let us consider the two half reaction equations:

Oxidation half equation:

2Cr^2+(aq) -------> 2Cr^3+(aq) + 2e

Reduction half equation:

Co^2+(aq) + 2e --------> Co(s)

Overall reaction equation:

2Cr^2+(aq) + Co^2+(aq) ----> 2Cr^3+(aq) + Co(s)

Overall cell notation

Cr2^+(aq)/Cr3^+(aq)// Co^2+(aq)/ Co(s)

Which is an acceptable Lewis structure for a diatomic nitrogen molecule?

timofeeve [1]

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons (ve-), so a diatomic nitrogen molecule will have twice as many, 10 valence electrons. Then, just draw electrons in pairs of 2 until you both get ride of all of them (reach 0) and you fill every atom (eight electrons each). It can be drawn either way, the important thing is that there are 3 electron pairs shared between the two atoms.

Given the following data:

As long as the equation in question can be expressed as the sum of the three equations with known enthalpy change, its $\Delta H$ can be determined with the Hess's Law. The key is to find the appropriate coefficient for each of the given equations.

Let the three equations with $\Delta H$ given be denoted as (1), (2), (3), and the last equation (4). Let $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ be letters such that $a \times (1) + b \times (2) + c \times (3) = (4)$ . This relationship shall hold for all chemicals involved.

There are three unknowns; it would thus take at least three equations to find their values. Species present on both sides of the equation would cancel out. Thus, let coefficients on the reactant side be positive and those on the product side be negative, such that duplicates would cancel out arithmetically. For instance, $3 + (-1) = 2$ shall resemble the number of $\text{H}_2$ left on the product side when the second equation is directly added to the third. Similarly

$\text{NH}_4 \text{Cl} \; (s)$ : $-2 \; a = 1$
$\text{NH}_3\; (g)$ : $-2 \; b = -1$
$\text{HCl} \; (g)$ : $2 \; c = -1$

Thus

$a = -1/2\\b = 1/2\\c = -1/2$ and

$-\frac{1}{2} \times (1) + \frac{1}{2} \times (2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (3)= (4)$

Verify this conclusion against a fourth species involved- $\text{N}_2 \; (g)$ for instance. Nitrogen isn't present in the net equation. The sum of its coefficient shall, therefore, be zero.

$a + b = -1/2 + 1/2 = 0$

Apply the Hess's Law based on the coefficients to find the enthalpy change of the last equation.

$\Delta H _{(4)} = -\frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(1)} + \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(2)} - \frac{1}{2} \; \Delta H _{(3)}\\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = -\frac{1}{2} \times (-628.9)+ \frac{1}{2} \times (-92.2) - \frac{1}{2} \times (184.7) \\\phantom{\Delta H _{(4)}} = 176.0 \; \text{kJ} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}$

Glucose, c6h12o6, is used as an energy source by the human body. the overall reaction in the body is described by the equation

Art [367]

Glucose is carbohydrate and a simple sugar that is very important to the human body.

Energy is produced for the cells in the body through the process of metabolism which oxidizes glucose to water, carbon dioxide, and some nitrogen compounds.

The general chemical reaction equation for metabolism is:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

In part 3 of the lab, you discovered the relationship between temperature (T) and volume (V) of a gas.

rewona [7]

$\frac{V1}{T1}$ = k

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relation between volume, V of gas and Temperature, T of a gas is related by Charles Law.

This law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at a constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature

Thus,

$\frac{V}{T}$ = k

where k is a constant

Therefore,

$\frac{V1}{T1}$ = $\frac{V2}{T2\\}$ = $\frac{V3}{T3}$ ...

This shows, as the volume of a gas goes up, the temperature also goes up and vice-versa.
