Answer:

1. 0.97 V

2. Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/Ag_(_s_)

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the <u>half-reactions</u>:

Ag^+~_(_a_q_)->~Ag_(_s_)

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)

With this in mind we can <u>add the electrons</u>:

Ag^+~_(_a_q_)+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)  <u>Reduction</u>

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~3e^-~ <u>Oxidation</u>

The reduction potential values for each half-reaction are:

Ag_2S~+~e^-~->~Ag_(_s_)~+~S^-^2~_(_a_q_) - 0.69 V

Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)+~2e^-~->~Al_(_s_) -1.66 V

In the aluminum half-reaction, we have an oxidation reaction, therefore we have to <u>flip</u> the reduction potential value:

Al_(_s_)~->~Al^+^3~+~2e^-~ +1.66 V

Finally, to calculate the overall potential we have to <u>add</u> the two values:

1.66 V - 0.69 V = <u>0.97 V</u>

For the second question, we have to keep in mind that in the cell notation we put the anode (the oxidation half-reaction) in the left and the cathode (the reduction half-reaction) in the right. Additionally, we have to use "//" for the salt bridge, therefore:

Al_(_s_)/Al^+^3~_(_a_q_)~//~Ag^+~_(_a_q_)/~Ag_(_s_)

I hope it helps!

The powder mixture (Cu, Al and Fe) = 10g was oxidized from sufficient chloride acid. 1) What are the possible reactions to the p
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

1) 2Al + 6HCl ⟶ 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

    Fe + 2HCl ⟶ FeCl₂ + H₂

2) Cu = 2.5 g; Al = 3.5 g; Fe = 4.0 g  

Explanation:

1) Possible reactions

2Al + 6HCl ⟶ 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Fe + 2HCl ⟶ FeCl₂ + H₂

2) Mass of each metal

a) Mass of Cu

The waste was the unreacted copper.

Mass of Cu = 2.5 g

b) Masses of Al and Fe

We have two relations :

Mass of Al + mass of Fe = 10 g - 2.5 g = 7.5 g

H₂ from Al + H₂ from Fe = 6.38 L at NTP

i) Calculate the moles of H₂

NTP is 20 °C and 1 atm.

\begin{array}{rcl}pV & = & n RT\\\text{1 atm} \times \text{6.38 L} & = & n \times 0.08206 \text{ L}\cdot\text{atm}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1} \times \text{293.15 K}\\6.38 & = & 24.06n \text{ mol}^{-1} \\n & = & \dfrac{6.38}{24.06 \text{ mol}^{-1} }\\\\ & = & \text{0.2652 mol}\\\end{array}

(ii) Solve the relationship

 Let x = mass of Al. Then

7.5 - x = mass of Fe

Moles of Al = x/27

Moles of Fe = (7.5 - x)/56

Moles of H₂ from Al = (3/2) × Moles of Al = (3/2) × (x/27) = x /18

Moles of H₂ from Fe = (1/1) × Moles of Fe = (7.5 - x)/56

∴ x/18 + (7.5 - x)/56 = 0.2652

    56x + 18(7.5 - x) = 267.3

      56x + 135 - 18x = 267.3

                        38x = 132.3

                            x = 3.5 g

Mass of Al = 3.5 g

Mass of Fe = 7.5 g - 3.5 g = 4.0 g

The masses of the metals are Cu = 2.5 g; Al = 3.5 g; Fe = 4.0 g
