Answer : The for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.
Solution :
The balanced cell reaction will be,
Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.
The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :
Oxidation :
Reduction :
Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.
Formula used :
where,
= Gibbs free energy = ?
n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2
F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole
= standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.
Therefore, the for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.
The concentration of the Nitric acid solution : 0.114 M
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution (analyte) by reacting with another solution whose known concentration (usually a standard solution) is called the titrant. Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range
Titrations can be acid-base titration, depositional titration, and redox titration. An acid-base titration is the principle of neutralization of acids and bases
Reaction
HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O
Concentration a standard solution of sodium hydroxide : 0.0998 mol/dm³ , and the volume = 25 cm³
moles NaOH=
<em>From the equation, mol ratio HNO₃ : NaOH = 1 : 1, so mol HNO₃ = mol NaOH=</em><em>2.495 mlmoles</em>
<em></em>
The volume of HNO₃ = 21.8 cm³, so the concentration :
