Answer:

before it evaporated into the air, it was on the Earth...and it could have been contaminated/dirtied. There isn't a process during evaporation that cleans water...you have to purify it yourself.

because the sun dissolves water with minerals in it so when it rains water with minerals rain down from clouds

The standard cell potential (E°cell) for the reaction below is +0.63 V. The cell potential for this reaction is ________ V when

tia_tia [17]

Answer : The cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Explanation :

The given cell reactions is:

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode): $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode): $Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb$

First we have to calculate the cell potential for this reaction.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}$

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.63 V

$E_{cell}$ = cell potential for the reaction = ?

$[Zn^{2+}]$ = 3.5 M

$[Pb^{2+}]$ = $2.0\times 10^{-4}M$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=(+0.63)-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{2\times 96500}\log \frac{3.5}{2.0\times 10^{-4}}$

$E_{cell}=0.50V$

Therefore, the cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Which of these reactions can be classified as double replacement reactions?

Kryger [21]

1) Zn + 2 HCl = ZnCl2 + H2 ( single replacement )

2) 2 NaCl + F2 = 2 NaF + Cl2 ( single replacement )

3) 2 AlBr3 + 3 K2SO4 = 6 KBr + Al2(SO4)3 ( double replacement )

4) 2 K + MgBr2 = 2 KBr + Mg ( single replacement )

Answer 3
