A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential +0.80 V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode

of a galvanic cell that must provide at least 0.9 V of electrical power. The cell will operate under standard conditions. Note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell.
a. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?
b. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

Answer:

a. Minimum 1.70 V

b. There is no maximum.

Explanation:

We can solve this question by remembering that the cell potential is given by the formula

ε⁰ cell = ε⁰ reduction -  ε⁰  oxidation

Now the problem states the cell must provide at least 0.9 V and that the reduction potential of the  oxidized species  0.80 V, thus

ε⁰ reduction -  ε⁰  oxidation ≥  ε⁰ cell

Since ε⁰  oxidation is by definition the negative of ε⁰ reduction , we have

ε⁰ reduction - ( 0.80 V )  ≥  0.90 V

⇒ ε⁰ reduction  ≥ 1.70 V

Therefore,

(a) The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.70 V

(b) There is no maximum standard reduction potential since it is stated in the question that we want to have a cell that provides at leat 0.9 V

Yasmin's teacher tells her that the solubility of salt is 360 g/L at room temperature (25 °C). How can Yasmin make an unsaturate
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

By adding less amount or quantity of the salt (solute), than the medium (solvent) can dissolve at a particular temperature that is to make an unsaturated solution at room temperature, Yasmin should add less than 360 g of salt to one liter of the solvent

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution is one that consists of less than the maximum mass or quantity of the solute that it is capable of dissolving.

A balloon is floating around outside your window. The temperature outside is 21 ∘C , and the air pressure is 0.700 atm . Your ne
Andreyy89

Answer:

V=162L

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can compute the required volume by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

PV=nRT

Thus, solving for the volume and considering absolute temperature (in Kelvins), we obtain:

V=\frac{nRT}{P}= \frac{4.70mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(21+273)K}{0.700atm} \\\\V=162L

Best regards.

If 17.4 mL of 0.800 M HCl solution are needed to neutralize 5.00 mL of a household ammonia solution, what is the molar concentra
Verizon [17]
NH3  +HCl  ---->  NH4Cl

moles   of  HCl  used =    (0.8  x  17.4) /1000=  0.0139 moles
by  use   of reacting  ratio  between  HCl  to   NH4Cl    which is 1:1    therefore  the  moles   of  NH4Cl  is  also  =  0.0139 moles
molar   concentration  =  moles  /volume  in  liters 

molar  concentration  is  therefore=    (0.0139/5)  x1000 =  2.7 M
