Answer:

Explanation:

For 1.0 M HCl:

[H⁺] = 1.0 M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺]

∴ pH = - log(1.0 M) = 0.

The cell potential of the following electrochemical cell depends on the gold concentration in the cathode half-cell: Pt(s)|H2(g,

Masja [62]

Answer: The concentration of $Au^{3+}$ in the solution is $1.87\times 10^{-14}M$

Explanation:

The given cell is:

$Pt(s)|H_2(g.1atm)|H^+(aq.,1.0M)||Au^{3+}(aq,?M)|Au(s)$

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $H_2(g)\rightarrow 2H^{+}(1.0M)+2e^-;E^o_{H^+/H_2}=0V$ ( × 3)

Reduction half reaction: $Au^{3+}(?M)+3e^-\rightarrow Au(s);E^o_{Au^{3+}/Au}=1.50V$ ( × 2)

Net reaction: $3H_2(s)+2Au^{3+}(?M)\rightarrow 6H^{+}(1.0M)+2Au(s)$

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=1.50-0=1.50V$

To calculate the concentration of ion for given EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[H^{+}]^6}{[Au^{3+}]^2}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = 1.23 V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.50 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 6

$[Au^{3+}]=?M$

$[H^{+}]=1.0M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.23=1.50-\frac{0.059}{6}\times \log(\frac{(1.0)^6}{[Au^{3+}]^2})$

$[Au^{3+}]=1.87\times 10^{-14}M$

Hence, the concentration of $Au^{3+}$ in the solution is $1.87\times 10^{-14}M$

Provide one example of how life on Earth would not be possible without water based on its characteristics.

snow_lady [41]

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

Consider the reaction at 500 ° C 500°C . N 2 ( g ) + 3 H 2 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 NH 3 ( g ) K c = 0.061 N2(g)+3H2(g)↽−−⇀2NH3(g)Kc=0.06

Sav [38]

Answer:

Q = 0.061 = Kc

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 500 °C

Kc=0.061

1.14 mol/L N2

5.52 mol/L H2

3.42 mol/L NH3

Step 2: Calculate Q

Q=[products]/[reactants]=[NH3]²/ [N2][H2]³

If Qc=Kc then the reaction is at equilibrium.

If Qc<Kc then the reaction will shift right to reach equilibrium.

If Qc>Kc then the reaction will shift left to reach equilibrium.

Q = (3.42)² / (1.14 * 5.52³)

Q = 11.6964/191.744

Q = 0.061

Q = Kc the reaction is at equilibrium.
