<u>Answer:</u> The potential of electrode is -0.79 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

When zinc is dipped in zinc sulfate solution, the electrode formed is Zn^{2+}(aq.)/Zn(s)

Reduction reaction follows:  Zn^{2+}(0.1M)+2e^-\rightarrow Zn(s);(E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V)

To calculate the potential of electrode, we use the equation given by Nernst equation:

E_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}=E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Zn]}{[Zn^{2+}]}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = ?V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = -0.76 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn]=1M    (concentration of pure solids are taken as 1)

[Zn^{2+}]=0.1M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=-0.76-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{1}{0.1})\\\\E_{cell}=-0.79V

Hence, the potential of electrode is -0.79 V

Answer:

1. B, D,

2.A, F

Explanation:

1. According to the law of conservation of mass, In a course of chemical reaction, matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. This means the amount of matter at the begining and ending of a reaction must be thesame.

2. Chemical reaction is not easily reversible. when gas is produced, provided the reaction system is an open system, the gas cannot be recovered and the reactants cannot be recovered from the products. likewise color change are attributed to chemical reaction

Answer:

Which of the following

properties distinguishes a solution

oversaturated with a dilute?

  • The supersaturated solution is one in which the solvent has dissolved more solute than it can dissolve in the saturation equilibrium.  The solute can be a solid, or a gas. The molecules of the solvent surround those of the solute and seek to open space between themselves to be able to harbor more amount of solute.
  • A dilute solution is a solution that has not reached the maximum concentration of solute dissolved in a solvent. The additional solute will dissolve when added in a dilute solution and will not appear in the aqueous phase.   It is considered a state of dynamic equilibrium where the speeds in which the solvent dissolves the solute are greater than the recrystallization rate.
