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.

According to the equation below, how many moles of PbO are required to generate 3.88×1023 nitrogen molecules?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

1.935 mole

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole present in 3.88x10^23 molecules of nitrogen(N2). This can be obtained as follow:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. Therefore 1 mole of N2 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.

Now if 1 mole of N2 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules,

Then Xmol of N2 will contain 3.88x10^23 molecules i.e

Xmol of N2 = (3.88x10^23)/6.02x10^23

Xmol of N2 = 0.645 mole

Now, we can obtain the number of moles of PbO required to generate 3.88x10^23 molecules (i.e 0.645 mole) of N2. This is illustrated below:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

3PbO + 2NH3 → 3Pb + N2 + 3H2O

From the balanced equation above, 3 moles of PbO produced 1 mole of N2.

Therefore, Xmol of PbO will produce 0.645 mole of N2 i.e

Xmol of PbO = 3 x 0.645

Xmol of PbO = 1.935 mole.

From the calculations made above,

1.935 mole of PbO will produce 3.88x10^23 molecules of nitrogen (N2).
