The pressure on a 200 milliliter sample of CO2 (g) at constant temperature is increased from

balu736 [363]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure ( $P_{1}$ ) = 600 mm of Hg

Final pressure ( $P_{2}$ ) = 1200 mm of Hg

Initial volume ( $V_{1}$ ) = 200 ml

To find:

Final volume ( $V_{2}$ )

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation,

P × V = n × R × T

Where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of the gas

n represents the no of moles of the gas

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

So,

From the above mentioned equation,

P × V = constant

$\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }$ = $\frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} }$

Where,

( $P_{1}$ ) represents the initial pressure of the gas

( $P_{2}$ ) represents the final pressure of the gas

( $V_{1}$ ) represents the initial volume of the gas

( $V_{2}$ ) represents the final volume of the gas

So;

$\frac{600}{1200}$ = $\frac{V_{2} }{200}$

$V_{2}$ = 100 ml

Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.

What is the overall cell potential for this redox reaction? Ca2+ + 2Li = Ca + 2Li+ Ca2+ + 2e- = Ca -2.87 V Li = Li+ + e- -3.05 V

Jet001 [13]

The redox reaction is

$Ca^{+2} + 2Li(s) = Ca(s) + 2Li^{+}$

Here

Calcium undergoes reduction, and acts as cathode

Lithium undergoes oxidation and acts as anode

The reduction potential of calcium is -2.87 V

The reduction potential of lithium is - -3.05 V

We know that

Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode

Ecell = -2.87 - (-3.05) = 0.18 V
