To construct the galvanic cell illustrated above, the salt bridge was prepared by soaking a piece of cotton in 5.0MNaNO3(aq) bef

ore placing it inside the U-shaped tube filled with distilled water. If the cotton was soaked in distilled water by mistake, which of the following best explains how the operation of the cell would be affected

Answer:

The cell reaction reaches equilibrium quickly and the cell emf becomes zero.

Explanation:

The purpose of a salt bridge is not to move electrons from the electrolyte, its main function is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.

A solution of a salt that dissociates easily is normally used. Water is ineffective at functioning as a salt bridge. Hence the effect stated in the answer.

A chemist needs to create a series of standard Cu2+(aq)Cu2+(aq) solutions for an absorbance experiment. For the first standard,
lianna [129]

Answer:

The concentration of the Cu²⁺ solution in the 10,0 mL volumetric flask is 5,425×10⁻³ M Cu²⁺

Explanation:

The first dilution from a 2,17M Cu²⁺ solution gives:

2,17 M Cu²⁺ ×\frac{5,00 mL}{500,0 mL} = <em>0,0217 M  Cu²⁺solution</em>

<em />

The second dilution gives as concentration:

0,0217 M Cu²⁺ ×\frac{25,00 mL}{100,0 mL} = 5,425×10⁻³ M Cu²⁺ solution

I hope it helps!

2CrO4 2−(aq)+2H+(aq)⇌Cr2O7 2−(aq)+H2O(l)Write the equation for the equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction studied in this exer
Vikki [24]

Answer:

K = \frac {[Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}]}{[CrO_{4}^{2-}]^{2} \cdot [H_{3}O^{+}]^{2}}  

Explanation:  

The equilibrium constant for a given reversible aqueous reaction is defined by the product ratio of the concentrations between the products and reactants:      

                                           aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

K = \frac {[products]^{p}}{[reactants]^{r}} = \frac {[C]^{c} \cdot [D]^{d}}{[A]^{a} \cdot [B]^{b}}  

<em>where K: is the equilibrium constant, [C] and [D]: are the product concentrations, [A] and [B]: are the reactant concentrations and a,b,c,d: are the stoichiometric coefficients from the reaction.   </em>

Therefore, based on the definition the equilibrium constant of our reaction is:    

2CrO₄²⁻(aq) + 2H₃O⁺(aq) ⇄ Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

K = \frac {[Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}]}{[CrO_{4}^{2-}]^{2} \cdot [H_{3}O^{+}]^{2}}  

Generally, the water concentration is omitted from the expressions.

I hope it helps you!
