An electrochemical cell at 25°C is composed of pure copper and pure lead solutions immersed in their respective ionis. For a 0.6
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer :

(a) The concentration of Pb^{2+} is, 0.0337 M

(b) The concentration of Pb^{2+} is, 6.093\times 10^{32}M

Solution :

<u>(a) As per question, lead is oxidized and copper is reduced.</u>

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction:  Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Pb(s)+Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+Cu(s)

Here lead (Pb) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Copper (Cu) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V

E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

E^o=E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}-E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}

E^o=0.34V-(-0.13V)=0.47V

Now we have to calculate the concentration of Pb^{2+}.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Pb^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = 0.507 V

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

0.507=0.47-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{[Pb^{2+}]}{(0.6)}

[Pb^{2+}]=0.0337M

Therefore, the concentration of Pb^{2+} is, 0.0337 M

<u>(b) As per question, lead is reduced and copper is oxidized.</u>

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction:  Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)

Here Copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V

E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

E^o=E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}

E^o=-0.13V-(0.34V)=-0.47V

Now we have to calculate the concentration of Pb^{2+}.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cu^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = 0.507 V

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

0.507=-0.47-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.6)}{[Pb^{2+}]}

[Pb^{2+}]=6.093\times 10^{32}M

Therefore, the concentration of Pb^{2+} is, 6.093\times 10^{32}M

Why do gases diffuse more quickly than liquids?
Alborosie

Answer:

D)Gas particles move rapidly and have space between them.

Explanation:

Matter exists in three states namely: solids, liquids and gases. The particles contained in these three states are different from one another. In the gaseous state, the particles are FAR APART from one another i.e. space exists and they move at a very fast rate in contrast to the particles of a liquid, which have less space and move slower.

This rapid movement of gas particles within a less restricted space accounts for the reason why gaseous substances DIFFUSE more quickly than liquids.
