Answer: In the following equation, $H_2O$ is considered as a binary compound.

Explanation: A binary compound is considered as a compound having 2 elements only. In the following chemical equation:

$2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2$

There are 2 compounds present because compound is defined as the chemical combination of two or more elements in a fixed ratio.

In the equation, compounds are: $H_2O$ and $NaOH$

$H_2O$ consists of 2 elements which are hydrogen and oxygen and hence is considered as a binary compound.

$NaOH$ consists of 3 elements which are sodium, hydrogen and oxygen and hence, cannot be considered as a binary compound.

Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction: 2 Cr + 3 Pb2+ ----> 3 Pb + 2 Cr3+ at 25oC. Eocell = 0.61 V

sattari [20]

Answer:

The value is $K = 8*10^{61}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The equation is $2 Cr + 3Pb^{2+} \to 3Pb + 2Cr^{3+}$

The temperature is $T = 25^oC = 298 K [room \ temperature ]$

The emf at standard condition is $E^o_{cell} = 0.61 \ V$

Generally at the cathode

$3Pb^{2+}(aq) + 6 e- --> 3Pb(s)$

At the anode

$2Cr^{3+} + 6e^- \to 2Cr$

Generally for an electrochemical reaction, at room temperature the Gibbs free energy is mathematically represented as

$G = n* F * E^o_{cell}$

Here n is the no of electron with value n = 6

F is the Faraday's constant with value 96487 J/V

=> $G = 6 * 96487 * 0.61$

=> $G = 3.5 *10^{5} \ J$

This Gibbs free energy can also be represented mathematically as

$G = RTlogK$

Here R is the cell constant with value 8.314J/K

K is the equilibrium constant

From above

=> $K = antilog^{\frac{G}{ RT} }$

Generally antilog = 2.718

=> $K = 2.718^{\frac{3.5 *10^5}{ 8.314* 298} }$

=> $K = 8*10^{61}$

Calculează masa zaharului si volumul apei necesare pentru prepararea 500g de soluție de zahăr cu partea de masa 20%

Sedbober [7]

T = 20 % : 20 / 100 = 0.2

m1 = solute

m2 = Solvent

T = m1 / m1 + m2

0.2 = 500 g / 500 g + m2

0.2 * ( 500 + m2 ) = 500

0.2 * 500 + 0.2 m2 = 500

100 + 0.2 m2 = 500

0.2 m2 = 500 - 100

0.2 m2 = 400

m2 = 400 / 0.2

m2 = 2000 g of water

hope this helps!
