To find percent composition do "parts over the whole" ---> each individual mass over the total mass times 100 (since it is a percentage). 

total mass ("the whole")= 73.5 + 42.0 + 72.3 grams= 150 grams

1. Carbon %= 73.5 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 49.0%

2. Hydrogen %= 4.20 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 2.80%

3. Chlorine %= 72.3 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 48.2%

The given potentials are observed for a calomel electrode: E ° = 0.268 V and E ( saturated KCl ) = 0.241 V . Use this informatio
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: The E for Silver-silver Chloride electrode = 0.287 V

Explanation:

Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) with a value for E° that is actually +0.222 V or approximately 0.23 V has the actual potential of the half-cell prepared in this way as +0.197 V vs SHE, (Standard Hydrogen Electrode) which arises because in addition to KCl, there is the contribuion of AgCl to the chloride activity, which isn't exactly unity.

Therefore, the E for the Ag/AgCl electrode would approximately equal 0.287 V
