What is the voltage of a galvanic cell made with zinc (zn) and aluminum (al)?

Chemistry

From the reduction standard potentials;
The emf of Zinc = -0.76 V
and the emf of Aluminium = -1.66 V
In a galvanic cell the component with lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that it is added to the anode compartment. 
Therefore. the voltage of a galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminium will be;
Voltage =Ered- Eoxd
             = -0.76 - (-1.66)
             = 0.9 V

Answer : The voltage of galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminum is, 0.90V

Explanation :

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

E^0_{[Al^{3+}/Al]}=-1.66V

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode compartment. The second forms the cathode compartment.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : Al+3e^-\rightarrow Al^{3+}       E^0_{[Al/Al^{3+}]}=1.66V

Reduction : Zn^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Zn       E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V

The expression for standard cell is,

E^0{cell}=E^0{Anode}+E^0{Cathode}

E^0=E^0_{[Al/Al^{3+}}+E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}

E^0=1.66V+(-0.76V)

E^0=0.90V

Therefore, the voltage of galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminum is, 0.90 V

What temperature will the water reach when 10.1 g CaO is dropped into a coffee cup containing 157 g H2O at 18.0°C if the followi
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Final temperature attained by water = 34.6°C

Explanation:

The reaction of CaO and H₂O is an <em>exothermic reaction</em>. The equation of reaction is given below:

CaO + H₂O ----> Ca(OH)₂

The quantity of heat given off, ΔH°rxn = 64.8KJ/mol = 64800J/mol

Number of moles of CaO = mass/molar mass, where molar mass of Ca0 = 56g/mol, mass of CaO = 10.1g

Number of moles of CaO = 10.1g/56g/mol =0.179moles

Quantity of heat given off by 0.179 moles = 64800 *0.179 = 11599.2J/mol

Using the formula, <em>Quantity of heat, q = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature rise.</em>

mass of mixture = (10.1 + 157)g = 167.1g, Initial temperature = 18.0°C

Final temperature(T₂) - Initial temperature(T₁) = Temperature rise

11599.2J/mol = 167.1g * 4.18J/g·°C * ( T₂ - 18.0°C)

11599.2 = 698.478T₂ - 12572.604

11599.2 + 12572.604 = 698.478T₂

698.478T₂ = 24171.804

T₂ = 34.6°C

Therefore, final temperature attained by water = 34.6°C

Which of the following does not change when a car keeps a constant speed but changes direction?
mestny [16]
An object which experiences either a change in the magnitude or the direction of the velocity vector can be said to be accelerating. This explains why an object moving in a circle at constant speed can be said to accelerate - the direction of the velocity changes.

jeka57 [31]
The answer is letter C. hydrogen bonds. Surface tension in water, which makes water form drops and causes the surface to form a curve above the mouth of a container, results from the water molecules being strongly held by H bonds to those water molecules beside and beneath them. The cohesion among water molecules and the adhesion of water to other materials like rock and soil make capillarity possible.
