Answer:

A) E° = 4.40 V

B) ΔG° = -8.49 × 10⁵ J

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

2 Li(s) +Cl₂(g) → 2 Li⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)

We can write the corresponding half-reactions.

Cathode (reduction): Cl₂(g) + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻(aq)      E°red = 1.36 V

Anode (oxidation):  2 Li(s) → 2 Li⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻         E°red = -3.04

<em>A) Calculate the cell potential of this reaction under standard reaction conditions.</em>

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the reduction potential of the cathode and the reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 1.36 V - (-3.04 V) 4.40 V

<em>B) Calculate the free energy ΔG° of the reaction.</em>

We can calculate Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.

ΔG° = -n.F.E°

where,

n are the moles of electrons transferred

F is Faraday's constant

ΔG° = - 2 mol × (96468 J/V.mol) × 4.40 V = -8.49 × 10⁵ J

Are the following statements true or false? (a) Formal charges represent an actual separation of charges. true false (b) ΔH o rx
katrin [286]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) Formal charges represent an actual separation of charges.(FALSE)

(B) ΔHo rxn can be estimated from the bond enthalpies of reactants and products.(TRUE)

C)All second-period elements obey the octet rule in their compounds(FALSE).

(D)The resonance structures of a molecule can be separated from one another in the laboratory.(FALSE)

Bond enthalpy which is also reffered to as bond energy is the amount of energy that is required to break one mole of a bond.

taking the single bond between Oxygen and Hydrogen into considerationthe bond energy between their single bond is 463 kJ/mol.

formal charge is used for the comparison of the number of electrons present around an atom in a particular molecule with the number of electrons present around a neutral

If a penny (with the this volume .39 cm^3) was made out of pure copper, what should its mass be?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

  3.49 g

Explanation:

The mass is the product of volume and density:

  (8.96 g/cm³)(0.39 cm³) ≈ 3.49 g

The mass of a pure-copper penny would be 3.49 g.

The complete combustion of ethanol, c2h5oh(l), to form h2o(g) and co2(g) at constant pressure releases 1235 kj of heat per mole
likoan [24]

Since it was specifically stated that heat is released, therefore heat is located on the right side of the reaction equation. Also stating the states of each compound, the complete balanced reaction would be:

C2H5OH (l) + 3 02 (g) -----> 2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (g) + 1235 kJ
