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

Find the ph of of 100 ml of an aqueous 0.43m baoh2 solution
denpristay [2]
Answer is: pH of barium hydroxide is 13.935.
Chemical dissociation of barium hydroxide in water:
Ba(OH)₂(aq) → Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq).
c(Ba(OH)₂) = 0.43 M.
V(Ba(OH)₂) = 100 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0.1 L.
n(Ba(OH)₂) = 0.43 mol/L · 0.1 L.
n(Ba(OH)₂) = 0.043 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(Ba(OH)₂) : n(OH⁻) = 1 : 2.
n(OH⁻) = 0.086 mol.
c(OH⁻) = 0.86 mol/L.
pOH = -logc(OH⁻).
pOH = 0.065.
pH = 14 - 0.065 = 13.935.

electron affinity of lithium is -60 whereas of cesium is -45.this trend is due to... plz give me accurate answer
lesya692 [45]
Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.


Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Caesium is 45.5 kJ/mol.

Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol. Electronegativity of Lithium is 0.98. ... Electron affinities are more difficult to measure than ionization energies. An atom of Lithium in the gas phase, for example, gives off energy when it gains an electron to form an ion of Lithium.

Trends

The ionization energy of the elements within a period generally increases from left to right. This is due to valence shell stability.

The ionization energy of the elements within a group generally decreases from top to bottom. This is due to electron shielding.

The noble gases possess very high ionisation energies because of their full valence shells as indicated in the graph. Note that helium has the highest ionization energy of all the elements.

A perfume bottle is dropped in the corner of a room. Tge odor of the perfume can be detected on the other side of the room. Whic
Illusion [34]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The<u> diffusion </u>occurs in room.

  • <u>Oder molecules move from their highest concentration to lowest concentration.</u>
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Diffusion is a process by which molecules move down their concentration gradient. The process does not require any membrane.

So corner with perfume has high concentration of odor molecules. Hence they move to other corner with low concentration of molecules.
