Answer:

a) Ti⁻²|Ti || Pt|Pt⁻²

b) +2.83 V

c) Pt + Ti⁻² → Pt⁻² + Ti

d) Pt

Explanation:

a) In the cell circuit, a redox reaction will happen, and one of the electrodes will oxide (it will lose electrons) and the other will reduce (it will gain electrons). The potential to reduce is measured by the standard potential reduction (E°). As higher is it, as easy is to the reduction reaction happens. The values for Pt and Ti are:

Pt + 2e⁻ → Pt⁻² E° = +1.20 V

Ti + 2e⁻ → Ti⁻² E° = -1.63 V

So, Pt will reduce and Ti will oxide. The oxidation reaction is the opposite of the reduction, and at the line notation, first is placed the oxidation reaction, thus:

Ti⁻²|Ti || Pt|Pt⁻²

b) The cell voltage (ΔE°) is the E° of the reduction reaction less the E° of the oxidation reaction:

ΔE° = 1.20 - (-1.63)

ΔE° = +2.83 V

c) The spontaneous net cell reaction will be the sum of the reduction reaction and the oxidation:

Pt + 2e⁻ → Pt⁻² (reduction)

Ti⁻² → Ti + 2e⁻ (oxidation)

----------------------------

Pt + Ti⁻² → Pt⁻² + Ti

d) In the cell, the electrodes are called cathode and anode. The electrode where the oxidation occurs is the anode, and the other, where the reduction occurs, is the cathode. Thus, in this case, the Pt electrode is the anode.

A sample of 35.1 g of methane gas has a volume of 5.20 l at a pressure of 2.70 atm. calculate the temperature of the gas.
melisa1 [442]
We can use the ideal gas equation to determine the temperature with the given conditions of mass of the gas, volume, and pressure. The equation is expressed
PV=nRT where n is the number of moles equal to mass / molar mass of gas. Substituting the given conditions with R = 0.0521 L atm/mol K we can find the temperature

Not all of the water falls as rain, snow,or sleet evaporates. What happens to the rest of the water?
Bumek [7]
Hi there! All of the water returns to the atmosphere, it's called evapotranspiration and condenses. And then the water falls back to the Earth's surface and starts the cycle all over again. If you don't know what I mean, it's the Water Cycle.
