Answer :

(a) Reaction at anode (oxidation) : 4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+4e^-  

(b) Reaction at cathode (reduction) : O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O  

(c) O_2+4H^++4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 2H_2O+4Fe^{3+}

(d) Yes, we have have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions.

Explanation :

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+e^-     E^0_{anode}=+0.771V

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O     E^0_{cathode}=+1.23V

To balance the electrons we are multiplying oxidation reaction by 4 and then adding both the reaction, we get:

Part (a):

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : 4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+4e^-     E^0_{anode}=+0.771V

Part (b):

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O     E^0_{cathode}=+1.23V

Part (c):

The balanced cell reaction will be,

O_2+4H^++4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 2H_2O+4Fe^{3+}

Part (d):

Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

E^o=(1.23V)-(0.771V)=+0.459V

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the standard electrode potential must be positive.

So, we have have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions.

<span>The </span>elements are arranged<span> in order of increasing atomic number. Vertical columns(called groups) contain </span>elements with similar properties. Horizontal rows called periods elements with<span> the same number of atomic orbitals(That's why Hydrogen and Helium are separated from the rest of the table).

Indicate whether aqueous solutions of each of the following solutes will contain only ions, only molecules, or mostly molecules
Zanzabum

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given points:

Explanation:

In point a, the answer is only ions because of NH_4Cl has a strong electrolyte.

In point b, the answer is the only molecules because of ethanol CH_3CH_2OH, it has a nonelectrolyte.

In point c, the answer is the few ions because of hydrocyanic acid HCN, which has a weak electrolyte.
