Answer:

Approximately \rm 90\; kJ.

Explanation:

Cathode is where reduction takes place and anode is where oxidation takes place. The potential of a electrochemical reaction (E^{\circ}(\text{cell})) is equal to

E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) = E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) - E^{\circ}(\text{anode}).

There are two half-reactions in this question. \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu and \rm Pb^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Pb. Either could be the cathode (while the other acts as the anode.) However, for the reaction to be spontaneous, the value of E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) should be positive.

In this case, E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) is positive only if \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu is the reaction takes place at the cathode. The net reaction would be

\rm Cu^{2+} + Pb \to Cu + Pb^{2+}.

Its cell potential would be equal to 0.339 - (-0.130) = \rm 0.469\; V.

The maximum amount of electrical energy possible (under standard conditions) is equal to the free energy of this reaction:

\Delta G^{\circ} = n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell}),

where

  • n is the number moles of electrons transferred for each mole of the reaction. In this case the value of n is 2 as in the half-reactions.
  • F is Faraday's Constant (approximately 96485.33212\; \rm C \cdot mol^{-1}.)

\begin{aligned}\Delta G^{\circ} &= n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})\cr &= 2\times 96485.33212 \times (0.339 - (-0.130)) \cr &\approx 9.0 \times 10^{4} \; \rm J \cr &= 90\; \rm kJ\end{aligned}.

A 30.0 g mass of iron at 24.5°C is heated to 45.0°C. The theoretical specific
diamong [38]

Answer:

276.135 J

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of Fe = 30.0 g

initial temperature = 24.5°C

final temperature = 45.0°C

specific heat of Fe = 0.449 J/g°C

We can determine the thermal energy added by using the formula;

Q = mcΔT

Q = 30.0g × 0.449 J/g°C × (45.0 - 24.5)°C

Q = 276.135 J

Compare and contrast the inner and outer planets. (Must be in complete sentences) (At least 5 sentences).
Karolina [17]

To contrast inner and outer planets we will start with the climate of the planets and then move on to there lighting. To start the planets closet to the sun, mercury, venus, earth and mars, are all hot compared to the further one, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune. This distance also makes the farthe away planets darker than the ones closer. Now to compare all the planets vary from either gass or solid, rocky or icy. All of them spin around the sun and all have objects spinning around them, moons.

What is the mass of a crate if a net force of 12 N gives the crate an acceleration of 0.20 m/s2?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A :-) for this question , we should apply
F = ma
Given - F = 12 N
a = 0.20 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
12 = m x 0.20
m = 12 by 0.20
m = 60 kg

.:. The mass is 60 kg.

A player holds two baseballs a height h above the ground. He throws one ball vertically upward at speed v0 and the other vertica
Degger [83]

Answer:

a)  v = √(v₀² + 2g h),    b)      Δt = 2 v₀ / g

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the mathematical expressions, where the directional towards at is considered positive.

The velocity of each ball is

ball 1. thrown upwards vo is positive

        v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

in this case the height y is zero and the height i = h

        v = √(v₀² + 2g h)

ball 2 thrown down, in this case vo is negative

         v = √(v₀² + 2g h)

The times to get to the ground

ball 1

         v = v₀ - g t₁

         t₁ = \frac{v_{o}  - v }{ g}

ball 2

         v =  -v₀ - g t₂

         t₂ = -  \frac{v_{o}  + v }{ g}  

From the previous part, we saw that the speeds of the two balls are the same when reaching the ground, so the time difference is

       Δt = t₂ -t₁

       Δt = \frac{1}{g} \ [(v_{o} - v)  - ( - v_{o}  - v) ]

       Δt = 2 v₀ / g
