Answer:

0.46 V

Explanation:

The emf for the cell is given by:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

From the  given balanced chemical equation, we can deduce that Fe²⁺ has been oxidized to Fe³⁺, and O reduced  from 0 to negative 2, according to the half cell reactions:

4Fe²⁺  ⇒ Fe³⁺ + 4e⁻           oxidation

O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O   reduction

From reference tables for the standard reduction potential, we get

Eº red Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺   Eºred = 0.77 V  

Eº red O₂ / H₂O      Eºred = 1.23 V

Now all we need to do is change the sign of Eº reduction for the species being oxidized ( Fe²⁺ ) and add it to Eº reduction  O₂:

Eº cell =   Eº oxidation + Eº reduction = - (0.77 V ) + 1.23 V = 0.46 V

k0ka [10]
An energy diagram of a chemical reactions illustrates the changes of energy as the chemical reactions advances.

At first, the energy in the diagram is the energy of the reactants.

As the reaction goes forward, the reactants start to react forming a transition compound, with a maximum energy level on the graph. This is the hill. So the hill represents the Activation Energy.

After that, the energy starts to decrease and at the end you have the energy of the products, which may be higher or lower than the initial energy of the reactants, depending upon whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.

For exothermic reactions the energy level of the products is lower than the energy level of the reactants, while for endothermic reactions the energy level of the products is higher than the energy level of the reactants.

Frank has a sample of steel that weighs 80 grams. If the density of his sample of steel is 8 g/cm3 ,what is the samples volume?
kirill115 [55]

Answer: 10 cm3

Explanation:

Mass of sample of steel (m) = 80 grams

density of sample of steel (p) = 8 g/cm3 samples volume (v) = ?

Since density is obtained by dividing mass by volume, the density of the steel sample is expressed as:

density = mass / volume

p = m / v

make v the subject formula

v = m / p

v = 80 grams / 8 g/cm3

v = 10 cm3

Thus, the samples volume is 10 cm3
