Use the tabulated half-cell potentials to calculate the equilibrium constant (K) for the following balanced redox reaction at 25

o-na [289]

The equation Eºcell = 0.0592/n logK must be used to find n and also Eºcell
2 Al(s) + 3 Mg2+(aq) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 3 Mg(s) Al3+ +3e- --> Al Eº = -1.66 V Mg2+ +2e- -->Mg Eº = -2.37V
To balance the equation, 6 moles of electrons must be transferred (2 Al and 3 Mg). This will be the value of n in the equation.
To find Eºcell, you need the reduction potentials which should be given in a table, and given above. Eºcell = -1.66 - (-2.37) = 0.71 V log K = Eºcell x n/0.0592 = 0.71 x 6/0.0592 log K = 71.95 K = 10^71.95 K = 1.1x10^72

Why do we need to use moles when we try to determine amounts of reactants and products in a reaction?.

ICE Princess25 [194]

$\huge\fbox{Answer ☘}$

<em>Chemists use the mole unit to represent 6.022 × 10 23 things, whether the things are atoms of elements or molecules of compounds. This number, called Avogadro's number, is important because this number of atoms or molecules has the same mass in grams as one atom or molecule has in atomic mass units. </em>

2) Which liberates the most energy?

evablogger [386]

Answer: $F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$

Explanation:

Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.

The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.

$F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$

A voltaic cell consists of a Zn>Zn2+ half-cell and a Ni>Ni2+ half-cell at 25 °C. The initial concentrations of Ni2+ and Zn

nlexa [21]

Answer :

(a) The initial cell potential is, 0.53 V

(b) The cell potential when the concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ has fallen to 0.500 M is, 0.52 V

(c) The concentrations of $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ when the cell potential falls to 0.45 V are, 0.01 M and 1.59 M

Explanation :

The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:

$E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}=-0.23V$

$E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V$

From this we conclude that, the zinc (Zn) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Nickel (Ni) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$ $E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V$

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni$ $E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}=-0.23V$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Zn(s)+Ni^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Ni(s)$

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o=E^o_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}-E^o_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}$

$E^o=(-0.23V)-(-0.76V)=0.53V$

(a) Now we have to calculate the cell potential.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = emf of the cell = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.100)}{(1.50)}$

$E_{cell}=0.49V$

(b) Now we have to calculate the cell potential when the concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ has fallen to 0.500 M.

New concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ = 1.50 - x = 0.500

x = 1 M

New concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ = 0.100 + x = 0.100 + 1 = 1.1 M

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(1.1)}{(0.500)}$

$E_{cell}=0.52V$

(c) Now we have to calculate the concentrations of $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ when the cell potential falls to 0.45 V.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}+x]}{[Ni^{2+}-x]}$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$0.45=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.100+x)}{(1.50-x)}$

$x=1.49M$

The concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ = 1.50 - x = 1.50 - 1.49 = 0.01 M

The concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ = 0.100 + x = 0.100 + 1.49 = 1.59 M
