Zinc dissolves in hydrochloric acid to yield hydrogen gas: zn(s) + 2hcl(aq) → zncl2(aq) + h2(g) when a 12.7 g chunk of zinc diss
N76 [4]

First calculate the initial moles of HCl.

HCl moles i = (1.45 moles / L) * 0.5 L = 0.725 moles HCl

 

Then calculate how much HCl is consumed by stoichiometry:

HCl moles consumed = (12.7 g Zn / 65.38 g / mol) * (2 moles HCl / 1 mole Zn) = 0.388 moles

 

So HCl moles left is:

HCl moles f = 0.725 – 0.388 = 0.3365 moles

For every 1 mole HCl there is 1 mole H, therefore:

H moles final = 0.3365 moles

 

So final concentration of H ions is:

<span>Concentration H = 0.3365 moles / 0.5 L = 0.673 M</span>

The standard cell potential Ec for the reduction of silver ions with elemental copper is 0.46V at 25 degrees celsius. calculate
Cloud [144]

Answer : The \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : 2Ag^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o

where,

\Delta G^o = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

E^o = standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times 0.46)=-88780J/mole

Therefore, the \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.
