Answer:

\boxed{\text{-0.275 V}}

Explanation:

We must use the Nernst equation

E = E^{\circ} - \dfrac{RT}{zF} \ln Q

1. Write the equation for the cell reaction

If you want the reduction potential, the pH 5.65 solution is the cathode, and the cell reaction is

                                                                     <u> E°/V</u>

  Anode: H₂(1 bar) ⇌ 2H⁺(1 mol·L⁻¹) + 2e⁻;     0

Cathode: <u>2H⁺(pH 5.65) + 2e⁻ ⇌ H₂(1 bar)</u>;    <u> 0 </u>

 Overall: 2H⁺ (pH 5.65) ⇌ 2H⁺(1 mol·L⁻¹);      0

Step 2. Calculate E°

(a) Data

   E° = 0

   R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

   T = 25 °C

   n = 2

   F = 96 485 C/mol

pH = 5.65

Calculations:  

T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

\text{H}^{+} = 10^{\text{-pH}} = 2.24 \times 10^{-5}\text{ mol/\L}\\\\Q = \dfrac{\text{[H}^{+}]_{\text{prod}}^{2}}{\text{[H}^{+}]_{\text{react}}^{2}} = \dfrac{(1.00)^{2}}{(2.24 \times 10^{-5})^{2}} =2.00 \times 10^{9}\\\\\\E = 0 - \left (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298.15 }{2 \times 96485}\right ) \ln{2.00 \times 10^{9}}\\\\= -0.01285 \times 21.41 = \textbf{-0.275 V}\\\text{The cell potential for the cell as written is }\boxed{\textbf{-0.275 V}}

How many atoms of phosphorus are in 9.20 mol of copper(II) phosphate?
Anika [276]
The number of atoms of phosphorus in copper (II) phosphate [Cu3 (PO4)2] is determined by multiplying first 9.20 by 2 since there are two phosphorus atoms in the compound and multiplying again with Avogadro's number. The answer is 1.108 x 10^25 atoms.

If a substance can be physically separated into its components, is it a pure substance or a mixture?
Marizza181 [45]
I think its pure substance since you are breaking into its components. For example if you were to break the components of salt apart (NaCl) You will be left with sodium and chloride which are the pure elements of salt. Therefore i believe pure is the best answer.
