<u>Answer:</u> The K_{eq} of the reaction is 1.73\times 10^{16}

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given half reactions:

Oxidation half reaction: Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V

Reduction half reaction: Co^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Co(s);E^o_{Co^{2+}/Co}=-0.28V

Net reaction: Zn(s)+Co^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Co(s)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=-0.28-(-0.76)=0.48V

To calculate equilibrium constant, we use the relation between Gibbs free energy, which is:

\Delta G^o=-nfE^o_{cell}

and,

\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_{eq}

Equating these two equations, we get:

nfE^o_{cell}=RT\ln K_{eq}

where,

n = number of electrons transferred = 2

F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.48 V

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mol

T = temperature of the reaction = 25^oC=[273+25]=298K

K_{eq} = equilibrium constant of the reaction = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2\times 96500\times 0.48=8.314\times 298\times \ln K_{eq}\\\\K_{eq}=1.73\times 10^{16}

Hence, the K_{eq} of the reaction is 1.73\times 10^{16}

  • <u>I </u><u>hope </u><u>it </u><u>helps </u>

Explanation:

<h3>Removing Energy: Removing energy will cause the particles in a liquid to begin locking into place. A. Boiling and Evaporation: Evaporation is the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas. Boiling is the change of a liquid to a vapor, or gas, throughout the liquid.</h3>

Draw one line connecting each factor that increases the rate of a
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Adding a catalyst - More collisions every second and more collisions with enough energy to break bonds.

Increase in pressure - more collisions every second

Increase in temperature - more collisions every second with enough energy to break bonds

Explanation:

According to the collision theory, chemical reaction occurs as a result of collision between reacting particles. Only particles that possess energy above the activation energy of the reaction can collide and result in product formation. Collision of particles having energy less than the activation energy merely result in elastic collisions.

Adding a catalyst lowers the activation energy of the reaction. If the activation energy is lowered, more reactants collide and more of those collisions now have enough energy to break bonds.

When the temperature is increased, the particles become more energetic hence more collisions with energy to break bonds occur.

Increase in pressure brings the reactant particles into close proximity hence more collisions occur.
