Calculate the new volume of 1.23 mL of a gas at 32 C is subjected to drop in temperature of 20 degrees Celsius

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1,15mL = V₂

Explanation:

Based on Charle's law the volume is directely proportional to the absolute temperature in a gas under constant pressure. The equation is:

V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

<em>Where V is volume and T absolute temperature of a gas where 1 is initial state and 2, final state.</em>

The V₁ is 1.23mL

T₁ = 32°C + 273.15 = 305.15K

T₂ = T₁ - 20°C = 285.15K

Replacing:

1.23mL*285.15K = V₂*305.15K

A voltaic cell consists of a Zn>Zn2+ half-cell and a Ni>Ni2+ half-cell at 25 °C. The initial concentrations of Ni2+ and Zn

nlexa [21]

Answer :

(a) The initial cell potential is, 0.53 V

(b) The cell potential when the concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ has fallen to 0.500 M is, 0.52 V

(c) The concentrations of $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ when the cell potential falls to 0.45 V are, 0.01 M and 1.59 M

Explanation :

The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:

$E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}=-0.23V$

$E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V$

From this we conclude that, the zinc (Zn) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Nickel (Ni) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$ $E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V$

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni$ $E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}=-0.23V$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Zn(s)+Ni^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Ni(s)$

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

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

$E^o=E^o_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}-E^o_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}$

$E^o=(-0.23V)-(-0.76V)=0.53V$

(a) Now we have to calculate the cell potential.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}$

where,

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

$E_{cell}$ = emf of the cell = ?

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

$E_{cell}=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.100)}{(1.50)}$

$E_{cell}=0.49V$

(b) Now we have to calculate the cell potential when the concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ has fallen to 0.500 M.

New concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ = 1.50 - x = 0.500

x = 1 M

New concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ = 0.100 + x = 0.100 + 1 = 1.1 M

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}$

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

$E_{cell}=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(1.1)}{(0.500)}$

$E_{cell}=0.52V$

(c) Now we have to calculate the concentrations of $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ when the cell potential falls to 0.45 V.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}+x]}{[Ni^{2+}-x]}$

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

$0.45=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.100+x)}{(1.50-x)}$

$x=1.49M$

The concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ = 1.50 - x = 1.50 - 1.49 = 0.01 M

The concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ = 0.100 + x = 0.100 + 1.49 = 1.59 M

Can someone please help me with this? I would appreciate it.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer: State

Explanation:

The rock on the left is more shiny than the right, so that’s incorrect.

The rocks are not the same color, so that’s also incorrect.

Even though you can’t feel the textures, the right rock looks grainy and the left on doesn’t.

They both are solid, so that is the correct answer.
