Answer:
Explanation:
The cell reaction properly written is shown below:
Cu|Cu²⁺ || Ag⁺
| Ag
From this cell reaction, to get the net ionic equation, we have to split the reaction into their proper oxidation and reduction halves. This way, we can know that is happening at the electrodes and derive the overall net equation.
Oxidation half:
Cu ⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻
At the anode, oxidation occurs.
Reduction half:
Ag⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ Ag
At the cathode, reduction occurs.
To derive the overall reaction, we must balance the atoms and charges:
Cu ⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻
Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇄ Ag
we multiply the second reaction by 2 to balance up:
2Ag⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag
The net reaction equation:
Cu + 2Ag⁺
+ 2e⁻⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻ + 2Ag
We then cancel out the electrons from both sides since they appear on both the reactant and product side:
Cu + 2Ag⁺
⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2Ag
Answer : The amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ
Explanation :
Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water
where,
q = heat released by the reaction
= heat absorbed by the calorimeter
= heat absorbed by the water
= specific heat of calorimeter =
= specific heat of water =
= mass of water = 254 g
= change in temperature =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the amount of heat evolved by a reaction is, 4.81 kJ
