<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

(6 points) Calculate the maximum number of moles and grams of H2S that can form when 158 g of aluminum sulfide reacts with 131 g
Schach [20]

Answer:107.1 g, 124.1 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Al2S3(s) + 6H20(l) ----> 2Al(OH)3(s) + 3H2S(g)

Hence;

For Al2S3

Number of moles= reacting mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 158g/150gmol-1 =1.05 moles

If 1 mole of Al2S3 yields 3 moles of H2S

1.05 moles of Al2S will yield

1.05 × 3/1 = 3.15 moles

Mass of H2S = 3.15moles × 34 gmol-1 = 107.1 g

For water

Number of moles of water = 131g/18gmol-1= 7.3 moles

6 moles of water yields 3 moles of H2S

7.3 moles of water will yield 7.3 × 3/6 = 3.65 moles of H2S

3.65 moles × 34 gmol-1 =124.1 g

An extra-strength aspirin contains 0.500 g of aspirin. how many grains is this? (1grain=64.8mg)
Snowcat [4.5K]

By unit conversion, the aspirin contains 7.72 grains.

We need to know about unit conversion to solve this problem. The unit conversion can be used to convert a unit to another unit. It can be defined as

a = xb

where a is unit a, b is unit b and x is the constant of conversion.

From the question above, we know that

m = 0.5 gram

unit conversion

(1 grain = 64.8 mg)

Convert the unit conversion to 1 mg

1 grain = 64.8 mg

1/64.8 grain = 64.8/64.8 mg

1 mg = 1/64.8 grain

Convert the aspirin mass to grain

m = 0.500 g

m = 0.5 x 10³ mg

m = 0.5 x 10³ x 1/64.8 grain

m = 7.72 grain

Please help, this assignment is to hard for me. :(
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

603000 J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Energy required (Q) =...?

Mass (M) = 10000 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2.01 J/g°C

Overheating temperature (T2) = 121°C

Working temperature (T1) = 91°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =.?

Change in temperature (ΔT) =T2 – T1

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 121 – 91

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 30°C

Finally, we shall determine the energe required to overheat the car as follow:

Q = MCΔT

Q = 10000 × 2.01 × 30

Q = 603000 J

Therefore, 603000 J of energy is required to overheat the car.
