Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e

– → Sn(s). What is the concentration of Sn2+ if Zn2+ is 2.5 × 10−3 M and the cell emf is 0.660 V? The standard reduction potentials are given below
Zn+2(aq) + 2 e−→ Zn(s) E∘red = −0.76 V

Sn2+(aq) + 2 e– →Sn(s) E∘red =-0.136 V

A. 9.0*10^-3 M
B. 3..3*10^-2 M
C. 6.9*10^-4 M
D. 7.6*10^-3 M

Answer:

Option (B) is correct

Explanation:

Oxidation: Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^{-}

Reduction: Sn^{2+}+2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall: Zn+Sn^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Sn

Nernst equation for this cell reaction at 25^{0}\textrm{C}:

E_{cell}=(E_{Sn^{2+}\mid Sn}^{0}-E_{Zn^{2+}\mid Zn}^{0})-\frac{0.059}{n}log\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Sn^{2+}]}

Where, n is number of electron exchanged and species inside third bracket represents concentrations in molarity.

Here, n = 2, E_{cell}=0.660V and [Zn^{2+}]=2.5\times 10^{-3}M

So, plug in all the given values into above equation:

0.660V=(-0.136V+0.76V)-\frac{0.059}{2}log\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}M}{[Sn^{2+}]}

So, [Sn^{2+}]=4.2\times 10^{-2}M

As the value "0.059" varies from literature to literature and 4.2\times 10^{-2}M is most closest to 3.3\times 10^{-2}M therefore option (B) is correct.

What is the strength of alloys and what is the solubility of alloys?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The most common reason for alloying is to increase the strength of a metal. This requires that barriers to slip be distributed uniformly throughout the crystalline grains. On the finest scale, this is done by dissolving alloying agents in the metal matrix (a procedure known as solid solution hardening

How many atoms does 2.0 moles of He represent
Rudiy27

We use the following formula to calculate the number of atoms:

n (mol) = N(number of atoms) / NA

N(He) = n(mol) · NA

N(He) = 2,0 moles · 6.02·1023 = 12.04·1023 atoms
