Answer:

P_H =2.86

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

first write the equilibrium equaion ,

C_3H_6O_3  ⇄ C_3H_5O_3^{-}  +H^{+}

assuming degree of dissociation \alpha =1/10;

and initial concentraion of C_3H_6O_3 =c;

At equlibrium ;

concentration of C_3H_6O_3 = c-c\alpha

[C_3H_5O_3^{-}  ]= c\alpha

[H^{+}] = c\alpha

K_a = \frac{c\alpha \times c\alpha}{c-c\alpha}

\alpha is very small so 1-\alpha can be neglected

and equation is;

K_a = {c\alpha \times \alpha}

[H^{+}] = c\alpha = \frac{K_a}{\alpha}

P_H =- log[H^{+} ]

P_H =-logK_a + log\alpha

K_a =1.38\times10^{-4}

\alpha = \frac{1}{10}

P_H= 3.86-1

P_H =2.86

composiion ;

c=\frac{1}{\alpha} \times [H^{+}]

[H^{+}] =antilog(-P_H)

[H^{+} ] =0.0014

c=0.0014\times \frac{1}{10}

c=1.4\times 10^{-4}

The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always:_________
sattari [20]

Answer: The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.

Explanation:

Electrolytic cells use electric currents to drive a non-spontaneous reaction forward.

Relation of standard free energy change and emf of cell

\Delta G^o=-nFE^0_{cell}

where,

\Delta G^o = standard free energy change

  n= no of electrons gained or lost

F= faraday's constant

E^0_{cell} = standard emf

E^0_{cell}   = standard emf = -ve  , for non spontaneous reaction

Thus  \Delta G^o=(-ve)(-ve)=+ve

Thus standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.
