<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}

Answer:

<u><em>Volume of NaOH, aka V2 = 6.32 mL to 3 sig. fig.</em></u>

A chemistry student weighs out 0.0941 g of hypochlorous acid (HClo) into a 250. ml. volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. He plans to titrate the acid with 0.2000 M NaOH solution. Calculate the volume of NaOH solution the student will need to add to reach the equivalence point. Round your answer to 3 significant digits mL.

Explanation:

1 mole HClO = 74.44g

0.0941g = \frac{0.0941}{74.44} = 0.00126 moles

Concentration = no. of moles/volume in L

Hence, Concentration of HClO = 0.00126/ 0.250L

= 0.005M.

C1V1 =C2V2

0.005 × 250 mL = 0.2 × V2

<u><em>Volume of NaOH, aka V2 = 6.32 mL to 3 sig. fig.</em></u>
