Answer:

The E°cell for the galvanic cell is 1.56 V.

Explanation:

A galvanic cell is a device that uses redox reactions to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The chemical reaction used is always spontaneous.

Oxide-reduction reactions, also called redox, involve the transfer or transfer of electrons between two or more chemical species. In these reactions two substances interact: the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.

The gain of electrons is called reduction and the loss of electrons oxidation. That is to say, there is oxidation whenever an atom or group of atoms loses electrons (or increases its positive charges) and in the reduction an atom or group of atoms gains electrons, increasing its negative charges or decreasing the positive ones.

The species that supplies electrons is the reducing agent (that is, it is that species that oxidizes, yielding electrons and increasing its positive charge, or decreasing the negative one causing the reduction of the other species) and the one that gains them is the oxidizing agent ( that is, it is that species that is reduced, capturing electrons and increasing its negative charge, or decreasing its positive charge, causing oxidation of the other species).

The galvanic cell works as follows: In the anodic half-cell oxidations occur, while in the cathodic half-cell reductions occur. The anode electrode, conducts the electrons that are released in the oxidation reaction, to the metallic conductors. These electrical conductors conduct the electrons and carry them to the cathode electrode; the electrons thus enter the cathode half-cell and the reduction takes place in it.

To determine the oxidizing and reducing agent you must first know the reduction potentials. For this you consult the list of standard reduction potentials. In this list you can see that the semi-reactions that occur with their corresponding potentials are:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag E°= 0.80 V

Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Zn E° -0.76 V

The species that has the greatest potential for reduction will be the species that will be reduced, that is, it will be the oxidizing agent. In this case, it will be the experience corresponding to silver (Ag). Therefore, to obtain the redox reaction, the half-reaction corresponding to zinc (Zn) must be reversed to be an oxidation, keeping its E ° value constant. Then:

Reduction: Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Ag E°= 0.80 V

Oxidation: Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻ E° -0.76 V

So: <em>E°cell=Ereduction - Eoxidation</em>

Or what is the same<em> E°cell=Ecathode - Eanode </em>because the reduction always occurs in the cathode and oxidation in the anode.

E°cell=0.80 V - (-0.76) V

<em>E°cell= 1.56 V</em>

Then <u><em>the E°cell for the galvanic cell is 1.56 V.</em></u>

In the lab you find four bags; each contains 5.00 g of a different gas at STP. The gases are O2, CH4, CO2, and He. Which bag has
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

lesser the molar mass of the gas higher the no. of moles included in a certain mass sample. ie at STP more volume is required for the gas having less molar mass.

He has the smallest molar mass.

Therefore bag of He is the biggest.

Mount Everest rises to a height of 8,850 m above sea level. At a base camp on the mountain the atmospheric pressure is measured
yan [13]

Answer:

Water will boil at 76^{0}\textrm{C}.

Explanation:

According to clausius-clapeyron equation for liquid-vapor equilibrium:

                                         ln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}})=\frac{-\Delta H_{vap}^{0}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}}]

where, P_{1} and P_{2} are vapor pressures of liquid at T_{1} (in kelvin) and T_{2} (in kelvin) temperatures respectively.

Here, P_{1} = 760.0 mm Hg, T_{1} = 373 K, P_{2} = 314.0 mm Hg

Plug-in all the given values in the above equation:

                          ln(\frac{314.0}{760.0})=\frac{-40.7\times 10^{3}\frac{J}{mol}}{8.314\frac{J}{mol.K}}\times [\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{373K}]

                       or, T_{2}=349 K

So, T_{2}=349K=(349-273)^{0}\textrm{C}=76^{0}\textrm{C}

Hence, at base camp, water will boil at 76^{0}\textrm{C}

How many millimeters of 5 M NaCl are required to prepare 1500 mL of 0.002 M NaCl?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.6 mL.

Explanation:

We use the mathematical expression:

Ci x Vi = Cf x Vf

Where Ci is the initial concentration (5 M); Cf and Vf refers to final concentration (0.002 M) and final volume (1500 mL). With the given data, we calculate the initial volume (Vi):

Vi = (Cf x Vf)/Ci = (0.002 M x 1500 mL)/(5 M) = 0.6 mL

Therefore, we need 0.6 mL of 5 M NaCl to prepare the solution with the requested dilution.
