Calculate the EMF of the following cell at standard conditions (temperature = 25o C, pressure = 1 atmosphere): Ni | Ni2+ | | Cu2

+ | Cu if the concentrations of the two ions in solution are: (a) [Ni2+] = 0.1 moles/mole and [Cu2+] = 0.08 moles/mole of solution, and (b) [Ni2+] = 0.4 moles/mole and [Cu2+] = 0.3 moles/mole of solution.

Answer:

a) +0.574 V

b) +0.573V

Explanation:

The EMF is the electromotive force, which is the property of a device that intends to generate electrical current. The EMF of a cell can be calculated by the Nernst equation:

Emf = E° - (0.0592/n)*logQ

Where E° is the standard reduction potential of the cell, n is the number of electrons involved in the reaction, and Q is the reaction quotient ([products]/[reactants]).

In the cell, a redox reaction happens. One substance oxides (lose electrons and become a cation), and the other one reduces (gains electrons and becomes an anion). Each reaction has a reduction potential (E), which indicates how easily is to the reduction happens (as higher E as easy).

For the overall reaction, E° = Ereduction - Eoxidation. To the cell given, Ni is oxidizing, and Cu⁺² is reducing, so, the half-reactions with its E (which can be found at tables), and the overall reaction are:

Ni(s) → Ni⁺² + 2e⁻ E = -0.24 V

Cu⁺² + 2e⁻ → Cu(s) E = +0.337 V

Ni(s) + Cu⁺² → Ni⁺² + Cu(s)

E° = +0.337 - (-0.24)

E° = +0.577 V

As we can see, there're 2 electrons involved in the reaction, so n =2.

The solids don't take place in the Q value, so:

Q = [Ni⁺²]/[Cu⁺²]

a) Q = 0.1/0.08 = 1.25

Emf = 0.577 - (0.0592/2)*log(1.25)

Emf = 0.577 - 0.003

Emf = +0.574 V

b) Q = 0.4/0.3 = 1.33

Emf = 0.577 - (0.0592/2)*log(1.33)

Emf = 0.577 - 0.004

Emf = +0.573 V

Your boss tells you that water at 68 F is flowing in a cooling tower loop at a rate of 600 gpm, in an 8-inch inside diameter pip
avanturin [10]

Explanation:

The volumetric flow rate of water will be as follows.

       q = 600 gpm \times \frac{0.000063 m^{3} s^{-1}}{1 gpm}

         = 0.0378 m^{3}/s


    Diameter = 8 in \times \frac{0.0254 m}{1 in}

                   = 0.2032 m

Relation between area and diameter is as follows.

           A = \frac{\pi}{4} \times D^{2}

               = \frac{3.14}{4} \times (0.2032 m)^{2}

               = 0.785 x 0.2032 x 0.2032

               = 0.0324 m^{2}

Also,     q = A × V

or,         V = \frac{q}{A}

                = \frac{0.0378 m^{3}/s}{0.0324 m^{2}}

                = 1.166 m/s

As, viscosity of water = 1 cP = 10^{-3} Pa-s

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^{3}

Therefore, we will calculate Reynolds number as follows.

 Reynolds number = \frac{D \times V \times density}{viscosity}

                                 = \frac{0.2032 m \times 1.166 m/s  \times 1000}{10^{-3}}  

                                = 236931.2

Hence, the flow will be turbulent in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the Reynolds number is 236931.2 and flow is turbulent.

Answer is: 3,3 mol of <span>nitrous oxide gas is produced in this chemical reaction.
</span>Chemical reaction: N₂ + O₂ → 2NO.
n(N₂) = 1,65 mol.
n(NO) = ?
from reaction n(N₂) : n(NO) = 1 : 2.
1,65 mol : n(NO) = 1 : 2.
n(NO) = 3,3 mol.

Doping Se with P would produce a(n) ________ semiconductor with ____________ conductivity compared to pure Se.
deff fn [24]
Doping Se (group VI elements) with P(group V)elements would produce a P-TYPE semiconductor with HIGHER conductivity compared to pure Se

the reason is P dopant will introduce holes in the Se as P has lesser valence electron

A solution is known to contain only one type of cation. Addition of Cl1- ion to the solution had no apparent effect, but additio
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

We can have: Calcium, strontium, or barium

Explanation:

In this case, we have to remember the solubility rules for sulfate SO_4~^-^2 and the chloride Cl^-:

<u>Sulfate</u>

All sulfate salts are SOLUBLE-EXCEPT those also containing: Calcium, silver, mercury (I), strontium, barium or lead.(Ca^+^2~,Ag^+~,Hg_2^+^2~,Sr^+2~,Ba^+^2~,Pb^+^2), which are NOT soluble.

<u>Chloride</u>

All chloride salts as SOLUBLE-EXCEPT those also containing: lead, silver, or mercury (I). (Pb^+^2~,Ag^+~,Hg_2~^+^2), which are NOT soluble.

If we the salt formed a precipitated with the sulfate anion, we will have as possibilities "Calcium, silver, mercury (I), strontium, barium or lead". If We dont have any precipitated with the Chloride anion we can discard "Silver, mercury (I),  lead" and our possibilities are:

<u>"Calcium, strontium, or barium".</u>

I hope it helps!

What information is provided by absolute dating that cannot be provided by relative dating
kiruha [24]
Relative dating is the process of determining whether an object or event is older or younger than other objects or events. Absolute dating is d<span>etermining the age of an event or object in years. From absolute dating, the real age of the object is obtained which is not present for relative dating. Hope this helps.</span>
