Draw an electrolytic cell in which Mn2+ is reduced to Mn and Sn is oxidized to Sn2+. (Assume standard conditions).
1 answer:
Answer:
-1.05 V
Explanation:
A detailed diagram of the setup as required in the question is shown in the image attached to this answer. The electrolytes chosen are SnCl2 for the anode half cell and MnCl2 for the cathode half cell. Tin rod and manganese rod are used as the anode and cathode materials respectively. Electrons flow from anode to cathode as indicated. The battery connected to the set up drives this non spontaneous electrolytic process.
Oxidation half equation;
Sn(s) ------> Sn^2+(aq) + 2e
Reduction half equation:
Mn^2+(aq) + 2e ----> Mn(s)
Cell voltage= E°cathode - E°anode
E°cathode= -1.19V
E°anode= -0.14 V
Cell voltage= -1.19 V - (-0.14V)
Cell voltage= -1.05 V

<u>Answer:</u> The fugacity coefficient of a gaseous species is 1.25
<u>Explanation:</u>
Fugacity coefficient is defined as the ratio of fugacity and the partial pressure of the gas. It is expressed as
Mathematically,
Partial pressure of the gas is expressed as:
Putting this expression is above equation, we get:
where,
= fugacity coefficient of the gas
= fugacity of the gas = 25 psia
= mole fraction of the gas = 0.4
P = total pressure = 50 psia
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the fugacity coefficient of a gaseous species is 1.25
a. 381.27 m/s
b. the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide = 2.5 faster than nitrogen triiodide
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
T = 100 + 273 = 373 K
Required
a. the gas speedi
b. The rate of effusion comparison
Solution
a.
Average velocities of gases can be expressed as root-mean-square averages. (V rms)
R = gas constant, T = temperature, Mm = molar mass of the gas particles
From the question
R = 8,314 J / mol K
T = temperature
Mm = molar mass, kg / mol
Molar mass of Sulfur dioxide = 64 g/mol = 0.064 kg/mol
b. the effusion rates of two gases = the square root of the inverse of their molar masses:
M₁ = molar mass sulfur dioxide = 64
M₂ = molar mass nitrogen triodide = 395
the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide = 2.5 faster than nitrogen triodide
