A cell was prepared by dipping a Cu wire and a saturated calomel electrode into 0.10 M CuSO4 solution. The Cu wire was attached

to the positive terminal of a potentiometer and the calomel electrode was attached to the negative terminal.(a) Write a half-reaction for the Cu electrode. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states-of-matter.)
(c) Calculate the cell voltage.

Answer:

a)  cu2+ + 1Hg (l) 1Cl- equilibrium cu (s) + Hg2Cl2 (s)

b)  0.068 V.

Explanation:

A) Cu2+ + 2e- euilibrium cu (s)

 Hg2Cl2 + 2e- equilibrium 2Hg (l) + 1cl-

Cell Reaction: cu2+ + 1Hg (l) 1Cl- equilibrium cu (s) + Hg2Cl2 (s)

B) To calculate the cell voltage

E = E_o Cu2+/Cu - (0.05916 V / 2) log 1/Cu2+

putting values we get

 = 0.339V + (90.05916V/2)log(0.100) = 0.309V

 E_cell = E Cu2+/Cu - E SCE = 0.309 V - 0.241 V = 0.068V.

What is the total number of oxygen atoms on the right-hand side of this chemical equation?
vivado [14]

The chemical equation is

Cu(s) +4HNO3(aq) ⇒ Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Answer:

12

Explanation:

In the right hand side of the equation, there are three compound which contains O2, which are;

Cu(NO3)2 , number of oxygen atoms =3*2 =6

2NO2, number of oxygen atoms = 2*2=4

2H2O, number of oxygen atoms =2*1=2

Total number of oxygen atoms on the right side of equation = 6+4+2 =12

Given the reaction that occurs in an electrochemical cell:
KatRina [158]

Answer:

c) +2 to 0

Explanation:

SO4 has a charge of -2, so the Cu attached to that has to be a +2 since the polyatomic molecule has no overall charge

Cu(s) is a solid metal and they have no charge, therefore it is zero

Copper undergoes Oxidation (gain of electrons)

Hydrologers study the availability of fresh water on the planet.
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Hydrologists study how water interacts with the earth's crust. For example, they may study how rainfall and snowfall cause erosion, create caves, percolate through soil and rock to become groundwater, or eventually reach the sea.Hydrologists strive to improve water quality and increase our access to water so that we can continue to make use of it in all the ways that are necessary to our lives. A hydrologist measures the stream flow in a tributary to the Coeur d'Alene River. layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body
