Answer : The \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,  

Cu(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : 2Ag^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o

where,

\Delta G^o = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

E^o = standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times 0.46)=-88780J/mole

Therefore, the \Delta G for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Consider the reaction 2 S + 3 O2 → 2 SO3 , which has a 75.1% yield. How much O2 is consumed if 583 g of SO3 are produced?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A/1.      10.9 mol O2

Explanation:

583 g x 1 mol SO3 x 3 mol O2 /

      80.057 g mol SO3 x 2 mol SO3

- You just need to find molar mass of SO3, which is 80.057 g.

- Everything else came from formula. Further explanation...

- Always start with what they give, such as 583 g. Then find 1 mol of what is being produced, in this it is SO3. We already found this because we did molar mass above. Next. find how many moles of what they want, which is O2. Look in equation and you can see 3 mol in from of O2. Next, do the same for SO3 and you can find 3 mol in front of that. Lastly, just do the math.

- If you need a further explanation or more help on any problems I would be happy to help, just let me know.
