The Nernst equation allows us to predict the cell potential for voltaic cells under conditions other than the standard conditions of 1M, 1 atm, 25°C. The effects of different temperatures and concentrations may be tracked in terms of the Gibbs energy change ΔG. This free energy change depends upon the temperature & concentrations according to ΔG = ΔG° + RTInQ where ΔG° is the free energy change under conditions and Q is the thermodynamic reaction quotient. The free energy change is related to the cell potential Ecell by ΔG= nFEcell
so for non-standard conditions
-nFEcell = -nFE°cell + RT InQ
or
Ecell = E°cell - RT/nF (InQ)
which is called Nernst equation.
Calcium metal with chromium(III) chloride would react. Calcium metal is more reactive than chromium metal; therefore, putting calcium metal in chromium chloride would create a reaction, where as putting chromium metal in calcium chloride would not form any reaction.
Answer:
Answer is 'B' I think
Explanation:
Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment proved the existence of a small massive center to atoms, which would later be known as the nucleus of an atom. Through previous experiments of shooting alpha particles, Rutherford knew they had considerable mass and speed.
Answer: The given statement is true.
Explanation:
According to the Dalton's law, total pressure of a mixture of gases that do not react with each other is equal to the partial pressure exerted by each gas.
The relationship is as follows.
or, 
where, 
....... = partial pressure of individual gases present in the mixture
Also, relation between partial pressure and mole fraction is as follows.
where, 
= mole fraction
Thus, we can conclude that the statement Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture, is true.
