How many electrons would be transferred in either a voltaic or electrolytic cell that uses the following half reactions

Chemistry
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

Explanation:

Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V

Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^- \rightarrow Mg (s),E^o = -2.37 V

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

Reduction : cathode

Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V..[1]

Oxidation: anode

Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^-,E^o = 2.37 V..[2]

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

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

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

E^o_{cell}=-0.036V-(-2.37 V)=2.334 V

The overall reaction will be:

2 × [1] + 3 × [2] :

2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)+6e^-

Electrons on both sides will get cancelled :

2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a volume of 5.0x102 mL at a temperature of 30°C and a pressure of 710. Torr. The ga
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

51207 torr is the new pressure of the gas

Explanation:

We can solve this question using combined gas law that states:

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

<em>Where P is pressure, V volume and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas</em>

<em> </em>

Computing the values of the problem:

P1 = 710torr

V1 = 5.0x10²mL

T1 = 273.15 + 30°C = 303.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 25mL

T2 = 273.15 + 820°C = 1093.15K

Replacing:

710torr*5.0x10²mL*1093.15K = P2*25mL*303.15K

3.881x10⁸torr*mL*K = P2 * 7.579x10³mL*K

P2 = 51207 torr is the new pressure of the gas

Match each vocabulary term with the correct definition
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Amplitude ----> C.) The distance from a crest or trough to the rest position on the horizontal axis

Crest ---> A.) The highest point of a wave

Destructive interference ---> E.) A situation in which the crest of one wave and the trough of another overlap, resulting in a wave that has a smaller amplitude than the original waves

Sound Wave ---> B.) A vibration transmitted through an elastic medium, such as a gas, liquid, or solid

Trough ---> D.) The lowest point of a wave

Sati [7]

The Reaction is spontaneous when temperature is 430 K. Hence, Option (C) is correct.

<h3></h3><h3>What is Spontaneous reaction ?</h3>

Reactions are favorable when they result in a decrease in enthalpy and an increase in entropy of the system.

When both of these conditions are met, the reaction occurs naturally.

Spontaneous reaction is a reaction that favors the formation of products at the conditions under which the reaction is occurring.

According to Gibb's equation:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG = Gibbs free energy

ΔH = enthalpy change  = +62.4 kJ/mol

ΔS = entropy change  = +0.145 kJ/molK

T = temperature in Kelvin

  • ΔG  = +ve, reaction is non spontaneous
  • ΔG = -ve, reaction is spontaneous
  • ΔG   = 0, reaction is in equilibrium

ΔH - TΔS = 0 for reaction to be spontaneous

T = ΔH / ΔS

Here,

T = 500K

Thus the Reaction is spontaneous when temperature is 500 K.
