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 density of an object with a mass of 140 g and a volume<br> of 6 ml
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

<h2>23.33 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{140}{6} =  \frac{70}{3}   \\  = 23.3333...

We have the final answer as

<h3>23.33 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
