<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of Sn^{2+} in the cell is 9.0\times 10^{-3}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-   E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)   E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Here, tin will undergo reduction reaction and will get reduced.

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=-0.136-(-0.76)=0.624V

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Mn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = 0.660 V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.624 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn^{2+}]=2.5\times 10^{-3}M

[Sn^{2+}] = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.660=0.624-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}}{[Sn^{2+}})

[Sn^{2+}]=9.0\times 10^{-3}M

Hence, the concentration of Sn^{2+} ions is 9.0\times 10^{-3}M

Consider the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas to form iodine monochloride. A reaction mixture at 298.15k initially c
uranmaximum [27]

Step 1 : Write balanced chemical equation

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iodine gas and chlorine gas is given below.

I_{2}  (g) + Cl_{2}  (g) ----->  2 ICl (g)

Step 2 : Set up ICE table

We will set up an ICE table for the above reaction

Following points are considered while drawing ICE table

- The initial concentration of product is assumed as 0

- The change in concentration (C) is assumed as x. Change (x) is negative for reactants and positive for products

- The coefficients in balanced equation are considered while writing C values

Check attached file for ICE table

Step 3 : Set up equilibrium constant equation

The equation for equilibrium constant can be written as

K_{eq} = \frac{[ICl]^{2}}{[I_{2}][Cl_{2}]}

Step 4 : Solving for x

Keq at 298.15 K is given as 81.9

Let us plug in the equilibrium values (E) for I₂, Cl₂ and ICl from ICE table

81.9 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{(0.437-x) (0.269-x)}

81.9 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118}

(2x)^{2} = 81.9 [ x^{2} -0.706x + 0.118]

4x^{2} = 81.9x^{2} -57.8x +9.66

77.9x^{2} -57.8x+9.66 = 0

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula we get

x = 0.488 or x = 0.254

The value 0.488 cannot be used because the change (C) cannot be greater that initial concentration of the reactants.

Therefore the change in concentration of the gases during the reaction is 0.254 M

Hence, x = 0.254 M

From the ICE table, we know that the equilibrium concentration of ICl is 2x

[ICl]_{eq} = 2 ( 0.254) = 0.508 M

The concentration of ICl when the reaction reaches equilibrium is 0.508 M

Describe how you might determine the m/z and relative abundance of the ions contributing to the peak at 21.876 min
aliya0001 [1]

The m/z and relative abundance of the ions contributed to the peak at 21.876 min. The relative abundance will be 21.876%.

<h3>What is relative abundance?</h3>
  • The proportion of atoms with a particular atomic mass present in an element sample taken from a naturally occurring sample is known as the relative abundance of an isotope.
  • When the relative abundances of an element's isotopes are multiplied by their atomic masses and the results are added up, the result is the element's average atomic mass, which is a weighted average.
  • Chemists often divide the number of atoms in a particular isotope by the sum of the atoms in all the isotopes of that element, then multiply the result by 100 to determine the percent abundance of each isotope in a sample of that element.

The difference in interchain stability between the polysaccharides glycogen and cellulose is due to: Group of answer choices the
denis-greek [22]

Answer: both the different glycosidic linkages of the molecules and the different hydrogen bonding partners of the individual chains.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose which is a form of energy storage in fungi, bacteria and animals. Glycogen is primarily stored in the liver cells and skeletal muscle.

The difference in interchain stability between the polysaccharides glycogen and cellulose is due to the different glycosidic linkages of the molecules and the different hydrogen bonding partners of the individual chains.
