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.

Please help . also need the name of their binary ionic compound . ​
madreJ [45]

Answer:

See below!

Explanation:

For the chemical formula, you need to have enough of each atom so that the charge is zero.

Aluminum has a +3 charge, and fluorine has a -1 charge.  Since the charge has to be zero, you need three fluorines, giving you AlF₃.

Barium has a +2 charge, and oxygen has a -2 charge.  Since the charges are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, you only need one of each atom giving you BaO.

The name of the ionic compound will be the metal and then the nonmetal.  When putting the nonmetal in, change the ending to "-ide".  For example "chlorine" would be "chloride.

CaCl₂  ==>  calcium chloride

Ga₂S₃  ==>  gallium sulfide

K₃N  ==>  potassium nitride

AlF₃ ==>  aluminum fluoride

BaO  ==>  barium oxide

0.50 g of hydrogen chloride (HCl) is dissolved in water to make 4.0 L of solution. What is the pH of the resulting hydrochloric
svlad2 [7]

Explanation:

Given the mass of HCl is ---- 0.50 g

The volume of solution is --- 4.0 L

To determine the pH of the resulting solution, follow the below-shown procedure:

1. Calculate the number of moles of HCl given by using the formula:

number of moles of a substance=\frac{given mass of the substance}{its molecular mass}

2. Calculate the molarity of HCl.

3. Calculate pH of the solution using the formula:

pH=-log[H^+]

Since HCl is a strong acid, it undergoes complete ionization when dissolved in water.

HCl(aq)->H^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)

Thus, [HCl]=[H^+]

Calculation:

1. Number of moles of HCl given:

number of moles of a substance=\frac{given mass of the substance}{its molecular mass}\\=0.50g/36.5g/mol\\=0.0137mol

2. Concentration of HCl:

Molarity of HCl=\frac{number of moles of HCl}{its molar mass}\\=\frac{0.0137 mol}{4.0 L} \\= 0.003425 M

3. pH of the solution:

pH=-log[H^+]\\=-log(0.003425)\\=2.47

Hence, pH of the given solution is 2.47.
