Given the E0 values of the following two half-reactions: Zn  Zn2+ + 2e- E0 = 0.763 volt Fe  Fe2+ + 2e- E0 = 0.441 volt a) Writ

e a balanced complete oxidation-reduction reaction? b) Explain whether the corrosion of an iron pipe (i.e., Fe  Fe2+) in the presence of Zn/Zn2+ is possible or not (thermodynamically)? c) Explain whether or not Zn will protect the corrosion of iron pipe if metallic Zn is in contact with the iron pipe?

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>For b:</u> The corrosion of iron pipe will take place in the presence of zinc.

<u>For c:</u> Zinc will not protect iron pipe from corrosion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For a:</u>

The given half reaction follows:

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.763V

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Fe+2e^-\rightarrow Fe;E^o_{Fe^{2+}/Fe}=-0.441V

The balanced chemical equation follows:

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

  • <u>For b:</u>

For a reaction to be spontaneous (thermodynamically feasible) , the standard electrode potential must be positive.

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

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

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

Calculating the E^o_{cell} using above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=-0.441-(-0.763)=0.322V

As, the EMF is coming out to be positive, the reaction will be thermodynamically feasible and corrosion of iron pipe will take place in the presence of zinc.

  • <u>For c:</u>

As, the EMF of the cell is positive, the zinc will not protect the iron pipe from corrosion and the reaction will take place.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

38 elements or Element 31: Gallium Element 32: Germanium Element 33: Arsenic Element 34: Selenium Element 35: Bromine Element .

Explanation:

How many transition metals are there?

The 38 elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called "transition metals". As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat.

How many atoms are in the formula (NH4)2CO3? Please help and provide explanation!
nevsk [136]

Answer:

28

Explanation:

28 is correct. (NH4)2 is equal to 10 atoms. (8 H and 2 N ) CO3 is equal to 4 atoms. (1 C and 3 O) That's 14 atoms. But it's two molecules of this. So you just multiply by the number of molecules (2), and you get 28.

The volume of a gas at 2.0 atm is 3.0 L. What is the volume of the gas at 1.5 atm at the same temperature?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

4 L

Explanation:

Ideal gas law is P1V1T2=P2V2T1

V2=P1V1/P2

T is not necessary to add since it is constant.
