Answer : The voltage of the voltaic cell is 1.14 V

Explanation :

From the given cell representation, we conclude that

The copper will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Zinc will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction:  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode. That means, gold shows reduction and occurs at cathode and chromium shows oxidation and occurs at anode.

The overall balanced equation of the cell is,

Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu

To calculate the E^o{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=(+0.34V)-(-0.76V)

E^o_{cell}=1.1V

Now we have to calculate the emf or voltage of the cell.

Using Nernest equation at 298 K :

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

where,

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

E_{cell} = ?

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

E_{cell}=1.1-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{0.2}{4.0}

E_{cell}=1.14V

Therefore, the voltage of the voltaic cell is 1.14 V

A 50.6 grams sample of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is reacted with 45.0 grams of hydrochloric acid (HCl). What is the theoreti
zysi [14]
            <span> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) yield MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

grams HCl required = (50.6 grams Mg(OH)2) * (1 mol Mg(OH)2 / 58.3197 grams Mg(OH)2) * (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Mg(OH)2) * (36.453 grams HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 63.26 grams HCl required

Since there are only 45.0 grams HCl, then HCl is the limiting reactant.

theoretical yield MgCl2 = (45.0 grams HCl) * (1 mol HCl / 36.453 grams HCl) * (1 mol MgCl2 / 2 mol HCl) * (95.211 grams MgCl2 / 1 mol MgCl2) = 58.6 grams MgCl2 </span>

The density of octane is 0.700 g/cm3.  What is the mass of one liter of octane?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

m = 700 g

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

Density of octane = 0.700 g/cm³

Volume = 1 L

Mass = ?

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

First of all we will convert the volume in cm³ because density is given in g/cm³ unit.

1 L = 1000 cm³

Now we will put the values in formula:

d= m/v

m = v × d

m = 1000 cm³ × 0.700 g/cm³

m = 700 g
