<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of Zn^{2+} ion at cathode is 0.295 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

The half reactions for the cell is:

<u>Oxidation half reaction (anode):</u>  Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(0.100M,aq.)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction (cathode):</u>  Zn^{2+}(?M,aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(s)

In this case, the cathode and anode both are same. So, E^o_{cell} will be equal to zero.

To calculate cell potential of the cell, we use the equation given by Nernst, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]_{anode}}{[Zn^{2+}]_{cathode}}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = 14.0 mV = 0.014 V    (Conversion factor:  1 V = 1000 mV)

[Zn^{2+}]_{anode} = 0.100 M

[Zn^{2+}]_{cathode} = ? M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.014=0-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{0.100M}{[Zn^{2+}]_{cathode}}

[Zn^{2+}]_{cathode}=0.295M

Hence, the concentration of Zn^{2+} ion at cathode is 0.295 M

Reaction involved in present electrochemical cell,
At Anode: Zn     →    Zn^2+      +       2e^2-
At cathode:      Zn^2+      +       2e^2-      →      Zn
Net Reaction: Zn + Zn^2+ ('x' m)  →   Zn^2+(0.1 m) + Zn
Number of electrons involved in present electrochemical cell = n = 2

According to Nernst equation for electrochemical cell,
Ecell = -2.303 \frac{RT}{nT} log  \frac{[Zn^2+]R}{[Zn^2+]L} = 0.014

Given: T = 25^{0}C = 298 K, F = 96500 C, R = gas constant = 8.314J/K.mol, [Zn^2+]R = 0.1 m , Ecell = 0.014 v

∴ 0.014 = - 2.303 \frac{8.314X298}{2X96500}log \frac{0.1}{x}
∴ log\frac{0.1}{x} = \frac{-2.303X8.314X298}{2X96500X0.014} = -2.1117
∴ log x = log(0.1) + 2.1117
∴x = 13.09 m

What type of solution has the capacity to dissolve more solute?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer to this is

Unsaturated solution

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to  dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution

The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization

Distillation is used to separate _____.
Art [367]
Distillation is the process of separating homogeneous mixtures -and  a solution is a homogenous mixture, so this is the correct answer!

A homoogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the elements are mixed so well, that the mixture has a similar composition in all its parts. A heat can be applied to this mixture then to separate the parts - this is destination!

Define adhesion and give an example?
bulgar [2K]

Similar to Cohesion, adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances . Water uses adhesion when it's attraction to another substance is greater than the water's attraction to itself. if you have ever dropped a cup of water on a hardwood floor,you know that it spreads out instead of foaming beads.
