<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}

If a molecule diffusing through extracellular fluid travels 1 mm in 1 sec, how long will it take that molecule to diffuse 1 cm?
stealth61 [152]
To determine the time, we can simply do dimensional analysis from the given values. We are given the distance the fluid travels per sec and we are given the required distance to travel. Therefore, we simply divide the required distance with the rate given. It is important to take note with the units. 

t = .01 m / .001 m/s = 10 s

An automobile tire contains air at 320.×103 Pa at 20.0 ◦C. The stem valve is removed and the air is allowed to expand adiabatica
NISA [10]

Answer:

6.15.3 k

Explanation:

From the question we can see that

q = 0,  Δu = w

Then,

T_f = \frac{C_{V,m}+RP_{ext}P_i}{C_{V,m}+RP_{ext}P_f} T_i

putting values wet

=\frac{2.5\times 8.314+8.314\left(10^5\right)\left(3.20\times 10^5\right)}{2.5\times 8.314+\left(8.314\right)\left(10^5\right)\left(10^5\right)}\times \:293

T_f = 615.3 K

In a two-step synthesis, C6H11Br is converted into C6H12O. From the structure of the product, molecular formula of the starting
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.

Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.

First, all what we have here is an acid  base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.

In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.

See picture 2, for mechanism
