Explanation</h3>
There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell. Which one is the anode?
The lithium atom used to have no oxygen atoms when it was on the reactant side. It gains two oxygen atoms after the reaction. It has gained more oxygen atoms than the manganese atom. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. As a result, lithium is being oxidized.
Oxidation takes place at the anode of a cell. Therefore, the anode of this cell is made of lithium.
Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94. Each gram of Li would contain 1/6.94 = 0.144 moles of Li atoms. Each Li atom loses one electron in this cell. Therefore, the number of electron transferred, <em>n</em>, equals 0.144 moles for each gram of the anode.
Let
represents the electrical energy produced.
, where
- <em>n</em> is the <em>number of moles</em> electrons transferred,
- <em>F</em> is the Faraday's constant,
- <em>E</em>
is the cell potential,
<em>n </em>= 0.144 mol, as shown above, and
<em>F </em>= 96.486 kJ / (
).
Therefore,
.
The equilibrium constant expression for KSP of Sr3(PO4)2 is
KSP={(Sr^2+)^3 (PO4^3-)^2/ Sr3(PO4)2}
Explanation
write the ionic equation for Sr3(PO4)2
Sr3(PO4)2 → 3Sr^2+ + 2 PO4^3-
KSP is given by (concentration of the products raised to their coefficient /concentration of reactants raised to their coefficient)
562 grams because mass can not be created or destroyed
The answer is predict, because it fits, and because someone can predict the outcome of something.
