<u>Answer:</u> The standard potential of the cell is 0.77 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

We know that:

E^o_{Ni^{2+}/Ni}=-0.25V\\E^o_{Cu^{+}/Cu}=0.52V

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

The half reaction follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> Ni(s)\rightarrow Ni^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> Cu^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)       ( × 2)

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.

Putting values in above equation follows:

E^o_{cell}=0.52-(-0.25)=0.77V

Hence, the standard potential of the cell is 0.77 V

What happens to the speed of motion of the particles of a gas when a certain volume of the gas is heated at constant pressure? E
Vitek1552 [10]
As the gas is heated, the particles will begin to move faster. Likewise if you start to cool a gas, the particles will move slower. Because the gas remains at a constant pressure and volume, the particles cannot spread out so they simply move around the container even faster.

Hope this helps :)

N = (PV)/RT
(T = 88.78 + 273 = 361.78K)
(R = 22.4/273 = 0.082)
= (5.49 x 22.03)/(0.082 x 361.78) = ?

A 20g piece of lead absorbs 566 joules of heat and its temperature changes from 35 oC to 195 oC. Calculate the specific heat.
Alja [10]

Answer:

  • <u>Question 1: 0.2J/(gºC)</u>
  • <u>Question 2: 6,000J</u>
  • <u>Question 3: 300J</u>
  • <u>Question 4: 80g</u>
  • <u>Question 5: 74ºC</u>
  • <u>Question 6: 50g</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Question 1.<em> A 20g piece of lead absorbs 566 joules of heat and its temperature changes from 35º oC to 195º C. Calculate the specific heat.</em>

<em />

The thermal energy equation is:

  • Q = m × C × ΔT

<em />

Substitute and solve for C:

  • 566J = 20g × C × (195ºC - 35ºC)
  • C = 566J / (20g × 160ºC)
  • C = 0.177 J/(gºC) ≈ 0.2J/(gºC)

<em />

You must round to one significant figure because one factor has one significant figure).

<em />

<em />

Qustion 2.<em> 40g of water is heat at 40ºC and the temperature rise to 75ºC. What is the amount of heat needed for the temperature to rise? (specific heat of water is 4.184 J/gºC)</em>

<em />

Use the thermal energy equation again:

  • Q = m × C × ΔT

<em />

Substitute and compute:

  • Q = 40g × 4.184 J/gºC × (75ºC - 40ºC)
  • Q = 5,857.6J

Round to one significant figure: 6,000J

<em />

Question 3. <em>Graphite has a mass of 50g and a specific heat of 0.420 J/gºC. If graphite is cooled from 50ºC to 35ºC, how much energy was lost?</em>

  • Q = m × C × ΔT
  • Q = 50g × 0.420J/gºC × (35ºC - 50ºC)
  • Q = 315J

Round to one significant figure (because 50g has one significant figure)

  • Q = 300J

<em />

Question 4.<em> </em><em>Iron has a specific heat of 0.712 J/gºC. A piece of iron absorbs 3000J of energy and undergoes a temperature change totaling 50ºC, What is the mass of iron?</em>

<em />

  • Q = m × C × ΔT

Solve for m:

  • m = Q / (C × ΔT)

Substitute and compute:

  • m = 3,000J / (0.712J/gºC × 50ºC)
  • m = 84.26 g ≈ 80 g (rounded to one significant figure, because the factor 3,000J has one significant figure).

Question 5. <em>If 400g of an unknown solution at 70ºC loses 7500 J of heat, what is the final temperature of the unknown solution. The unknown solution has a specific heat of 4.184 J/gºC.</em>

<em />

  • Q = m × C × ΔT

<em />

Q is negative, since it is released.

Substitute and solve for T:

  • - 7,500J = 400g × 4.184J/gºC × (T - 70ºC)

  • T = - 7500J / 400g × 4.184J/gºC) + 70ºC

  • T = 74ºC

<em />

If you round to one significant figure you cannot tell the temperature difference, thus leave two significant figures.

<em />

Question 6. <em>How many grams of water would require 9500J of heat to raise the temperature from 50ºC to 100ºC</em>

  • Q = m × C × ΔT

Subsitute:

  • 9,500J = m × 4.184J/gºC × (100ºC - 50ºC)

Solve for m and compute:

  • m = 9,500J / (4.184J/gºC × 50ºC)

  • m = 45g

Since the temperatures indicate one singificant figure, the mass should be rounded to one significant figure:

  • m = 50g.

What is the mass of 6.75 moles of CO₂?
ikadub [295]
Hi there!
Thank you for choosing Brainly.

1 mole = 44.0095

So take that number and multiply it by 6.75.

You then get... 297.0641

Have a nice day.
