The equation Eºcell = 0.0592/n logK must be used to find n and also Eºcell 
2 Al(s) + 3 Mg2+(aq) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 3 Mg(s) Al3+ +3e- --> Al Eº = -1.66 V Mg2+ +2e- -->Mg Eº = -2.37V 
To balance the equation, 6 moles of electrons must be transferred (2 Al and 3 Mg). This will be the value of n in the equation. 
To find Eºcell, you need the reduction potentials which should be given in a table, and given above. Eºcell = -1.66 - (-2.37) = 0.71 V log K = Eºcell x n/0.0592 = 0.71 x 6/0.0592 log K = 71.95 K = 10^71.95 K = 1.1x10^72

For the reaction a2 + b2 → 2ab, ea(fwd) = 105 kj/mol and ea(rev) = 77 kj/mol. assuming the reaction occurs in one step, calculat
Lady bird [3.3K]
Answer is: 28 kJ.
Chemical reaction: A₂ + B₂ ⇄ 2AB.
Ea(forward) = 105 kJ/mol.
Ea(reverse) = 77 kJ/mol.
ΔH(reaction) = ?
<span>The enthalpy change of reaction is the change in the energy of the reactants to the products.
</span>ΔH(reaction) = Ea(forward) - Ea(reverse).
ΔH(reaction) = 105 kJ/mol - 77 kJ/mol.
ΔH(reaction) = 28 kJ/mol; this is endothermic reaction (ΔH <span>> 0).</span>

A 52.0-mL volume of 0.35 M CH3COOH (Ka=1.8×10−5) is titrated with 0.40 M NaOH. Calculate the pH after the addition of 23.0 mL of
Georgia [21]

NaOH reacts with CH3COOH in 1:1 molar ratio to produce CH3COONa 

NaOH + CH3COOH → CH3COONa + H2O 

Mol CH3COOH in 52.0mL of 0.35M solution = 52.0/1000*0.35 = 0.0182 mol CH3COOH 

Mol NaOH in 19.0mL of 0.40M solution = 19.0/1000*0.40 = 0.0076 mol NaOH 

These will react to produce 0.0076 mol CH3COONa and there will be 0.0182 - 0.0076 = 0.0106 mol CH3COOH remaining in solution unreacted . Total volume of solution = 52.0+19.0 = 71mL or 0.071L 

Molarity of CH3COOH = 0.0106/0.071 = 0.1493M 

CH3COONa = 0.0076 / 0.071 = 0.1070M 

pKa acetic acid = - log Ka = -log 1.8*10^-5 = 4.74. 

pH using Henderson - Hasselbalch equation: 

pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid]) 

pH = 4.74 + log ( 0.1070/0.1493) 

pH = 4.74 + log 0.717 

pH = 4.74 + (-0.14) 

pH = 4.60.

A substance has a atomic number of 80.How many protons and electrons do atoms of the substance have ?what is the substance
Anarel [89]

Answer: Substance is Mercury (Hg)

              number of protons = 80

              number of electrons = 80

Explanation:

Atomic number which is symbolized by "Z" is the number of protons in nucleus of an atom.

Hence,

     number of protons = atomic number = 80

  • By knowing atomic number, we can find the element by using periodic table. Since the atomic number 80, the element is Mercury (Hg).

If the substance is in its neutral state, which means there is no charge on it, then the number of protons equals to the number of electrons of that element.

Hence,

   number of electrons = number of protons = 80
