Answer:
-1.78 V
Explanation:
There are several rules required to calculate the cell potential:
- given standard cell potential, we may reverse the equation: the products of a given reaction become our reactants, while reactants become our products in the reversed equation. For a reversed equation, we change the sign of the cell potential to the opposite sign;
- if we multiply the whole equation by some number, this doesn't influence the cell potential value. It only produces a different expression in the equilibrium constant.
That said, notice that the initial reaction with respect to the final reaction is:
- reversed: chromium(III) cation and chloride anion become our reactants as opposed to the products in the initial reaction, so we change the sign of the cell potential to a negative value of -1.78 V;
- each coefficient is multiplied by a fraction of
. It doesn't influence the value of the cell potential.
Thus, we have a cell of E = -1.78 V.
Answer:
Explanation:
Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be negative.
Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be positive.
As the heat is absorbed the reactants , the reaction is endothermic and for the given endothermic reaction will be +127 KJ
