Answer:

I will work only one of the listed equations ... you follow the given example for the remaining reactions. Thank you :-)

Rxn 1: Pt°(s) + Fe⁺²(aq) ⇄ Pt⁺²(aq) + Fe°(s)

a) E(Pt⁺²/Fe°) = - 1.668v

b) Process is Non-spontaneous if E(cell) < 0

Explanation:

Pt°(s) + Fe⁺²(aq) ⇄ Pt⁺²(aq) + Fe°(s) ⇔

Pt°(s)|Pt⁺²[0.057M]║Fe⁺²[0.006M]|Fe°(s)

As written, Pt° is shown undergoing oxidation with Fe⁺² undergoing reduction. Applying the reduction potentials to the analytical equations for E(cell) and ΔG(cell) gives E(Pt/Fe⁺²) < 0 and ΔG(Pt/Fe⁺²) > 0 which indicate a non-spontaneous process. The following supports this conclusion.

E°(Fe⁺²) = -0.44v

E°(Pt⁺²) = +1.20v

E°(Pt/Fe⁺²) =E°(Redn) - E°(Oxidn) =E°(Fe⁺²) - E°(Pt⁺²)

= -0.44v - (+1.20v) = - 1.64v

[Fe⁺²] = 0.0066M

[Pt⁺²] = 0.057M

n = electrons transferred = 2

E(nonstd) = E°(std) - (0.0592/n)logQ);

Q = [Pt⁺²]/[Fe⁺²]

= -1.64v - (0.0592/2)log[0.057M]/[0.006M]v = -1.668v

Also, if ΔG(cell) > 0 => indicates non-spontaneous process

ΔG(Pt/Fe⁺²) = - nFE = -(2)(96,500Coulombs)((-1.664v) > 0 Kj => nonspontaneous rxn. (1 Coulomb-volt = 1 Kilojoule)

Answer:

oxygen

Explanation:

because the 2nd shell is not complete which is suppose to be 8 and since oxygen is 8 it first shell is 2 which is complete and the second shell which is 6 is not complete because we all know that 2+6=8 but the standard shell is

In the electron cloud model, the electron cloud is denser in some locations than in others.
Sonbull [250]
<span>In the electron cloud model, the denser areas represent that there is a great probability that a good number of electrons are ganged up or crowded in that area. The electrons affect the density of some parts of the electron cloud when they condense in those locations.</span>
