kogti [31]

Answer:

1) volumetric

2) graduated

3) volumetric

Explanation:

A volumetric glassware is a glassware that is marked at a particular point. A typical example of a volumetric glassware is the volumetric flask. A volumetric glassware is capable of measuring only a specific volume of a liquid.

On the other hand, graduated glassware can measure a range of volumes of liquid. However, a volumetric glassware is still required where a high degree of accuracy is important.

Combine the two half-reactions that give the spontaneous cell reaction with the smallest E∘. Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s) E∘=−0.45V I2(s)+

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: The spontaneous cell reaction having smallest $E^o$ is $I_2+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2I^-$

Explanation:

We are given:

$E^o_{(Fe^{2+}/Fe)}=-0.45V\\E^o_{(I_2/I^-)}=0.54V\\E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, iodine will always undergo reduction reaction, then copper and then iron.

The equation used to calculate electrode potential of the cell is:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{oxidation}+E^o_{reduction}$

The combination of the cell reactions follows:

Case 1:

Here, iodine is getting reduced and iron is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$I_2(s)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2I^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=0.45V$

Reduction half reaction: $I_2(s)+2e^-\rightarrow 2I_-(aq.)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.54V$

$E^o_{cell}=0.45+0.54=0.99V$

Thus, this cell will not give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Case 2:

Here, iodine is getting reduced and copper is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$I_2(s)+Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2I^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=-0.34V$

Reduction half reaction: $I_2(s)+2e^-\rightarrow 2I_-(aq.)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.54V$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.34+0.54=0.20V$

Thus, this cell will give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Case 3:

Here, copper is getting reduced and iron is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$Cu^{2+}(aq.)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cu(s)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=0.45V$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.34V$

$E^o_{cell}=0.45+0.34=0.79V$

Thus, this cell will not give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Hence, the spontaneous cell reaction having smallest $E^o$ is $I_2+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2I^-$
