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

Give the correct balanced equation for the single replacement reaction of magnesium with aluminum oxide. A) Mg + AlO → MgO + Al
solniwko [45]
Answer is "C".

<em><u>Explanation
</u></em>

Single replacement reaction is a type of reaction which one reactant reacts with another and makes a product by replacing one element by another. 

Mg (Magnesium) reacts with Al₂O₃ (Aluminium oxide) and produces MgO (Magnesium oxide) and Al (Aluminium) as products. Here Al is replaced by Mg. Reaction is 
             Mg + Al₂O₃ → MgO + Al

To balance the reaction equation, both left and right hand sides should have same number of atoms in each element.
Here, 
 <em>Left Hand Side has </em>                                            <em>Right Hand Side has</em>
   Mg = 1 atom                                                         Mg = 1 atom
   Al = 2 atom                                                           Al = 1 atom
   O = 3 atom                                                           O = 1 atom

First step : balance the O atoms in both sides. To do that "3" should be added before MgO. 

Second step : After balancing O atoms, there will be 3 Mg atoms in right hand side. Hence to balance Mg atoms again "3" should be added before Mg in left hand side

Third step : as the final step balance the Al atoms by adding "2" before Al in the right hand side.

Then final balanced equation should be 
              3Mg + Al₂O₃ → 3MgO + 2Al
