In an electrochemical cell in which the oxidation reaction is nonspontaneous the oxidation will not occur spontaneously at the anode and the reduction will not be spontaneous at the cathode. And according to the law for the calculation of the voltage potential of the electrochemical cell (Ecell):
Ecell = Eox. - Ere. where (Eox. is the potential of the oxidation at the anode and Ere. is the potential of the reduction at the cathode). The standard potential for an electrolytic cell is negative, because of the Ere. which is greater than Eox.
The answer is : less than zero.
Answer:
If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 13.4 grams
Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol
Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol
Step 2: The balanced equation
N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
Step 3: Calculate moles of N2
Moles N2 = Mass N2 / molar mass N2
Moles N2 = 13.4 grams / 28.00 g/mol
Moles N2 = 0.479 moles
Step 4: Calculate moles of NH3
For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3
For 0.479 moles N2 we'll produce 2*0.479 = 0.958 moles
Step 5: Calculate mass of NH3
Mass of NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3
Mass NH3 = 0.958 moles * 17.03 g/mol
Mass NH3 = 16.3 grams
If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia
Hydrogen ion, strictly, the nucleus of a hydrogen atom separated from its accompanying electron. The hydrogen nucleus is made up of a particle carrying a unit positive electric charge, called a proton. The isolated hydrogen ion, represented by the symbol H+, is therefore customarily used to represent a proton.
