Which metal will spontaneously react with Zn2+

Chemistry
1 answer:
Daniel [21]4 years ago
4 0

The options of the question is not given so the options are;

(1) Mn(s)

(2) Cu(s)

(3) Ni(s)

(4) Ba(s)

Answer: Mn(s)

Explanation:

The spontaneous reaction depends on the Eo value. The positive Eo value are spontaneous and the negative Eo values are not spontaneous.

so, here the Eo values are:

Eo Zn2+/Zn = -0.763v

Eo Mg2+/Mg = 2.37v

Eo Mn2+/Mn = -1.18v

Therefore, Eo cell (with Zn as one of the half-cell) =  Eo Zn2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn

=  -0.763 - (-1.18)

 = 0.417v

Whereas, Eo cell (with Mg as one of the half-cell) =  Eo Mg2+/Zn - Eo Mn2+/Mn

=  -2.37 - (-1.18) = -1.19v

Thus, Mn(s) metal will spontaneously react because it has a positive  Eo value and  Zn2+(aq), but will not spontaneously react with Mg2+(aq) because it has negative Eo value.

                             2 HNO₃  +  3 H₂S   →   2 NO  +  3 S  +  H₂O

Balance Oxygen Atoms by multiplying H₂O with 4, Hydrogen atoms will automatically get balance.

What mass of NaC6H5COO should be added to 1.5 L of 0.40 M C6H5COOH solution at 25 °C to produce a solution with a pH of 3.87 giv
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

41 g

Explanation:

We have a buffer formed by a weak acid (C₆H₅COOH) and its conjugate base (C₆H₅COO⁻ coming from NaC₆H₅COO). We can find the concentration of C₆H₅COO⁻ (and therefore of NaC₆H₅COO) using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.

pH = pKa + log [C₆H₅COO⁻]/[C₆H₅COOH]

pH - pKa = log [C₆H₅COO⁻] - log [C₆H₅COOH]

log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = pH - pKa + log [C₆H₅COOH]

log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = 3.87 - (-log 6.5 × 10⁻⁵) + log 0.40

[C₆H₅COO⁻] = [NaC₆H₅COO] = 0.19 M

We can find the mass of NaC₆H₅COO using the following expression.

M = mass NaC₆H₅COO / molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

mass NaC₆H₅COO = M × molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

mass NaC₆H₅COO = 0.19 mol/L × 144.1032 g/mol × 1.5 L

mass NaC₆H₅COO = 41 g

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable. An independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. A dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.
