Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el

ectrolytic cell. How many hours will it take to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 40.0 A? Assume the copper in the electrolytic solution is present as Cu²⁺.

Answer: The amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of electron = 1 mole

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an atom contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles.

We know that:

Charge on 1 electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Charge on 1 mole of electrons = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=96500C

Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

2\times 96500=193000C is passed to deposit = 1 mole of copper

63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 C

14\times 1000g=14000g of copper is deposited by =\frac{193000}{63.5}\times 14000=42551181 C

To calculate the time required, we use the equation:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where,

I = current passed = 40.0 A

q = total charge = 42551181 C

t = time required = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

40.0=\frac{42551181 C}{t}\\\\t=1063779sec

Converting this into hours, we use the conversion factor:

1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, 1063779s\times \frac{1hr}{3600s}=295hr

Hence, the amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

55 L of a gas at 25oC has its temperature increased to 35oC. What is its new volume?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Approximately 56.8 liters.

Assumption: this gas is an ideal gas, and this change in temperature is an isobaric process.

Explanation:

Assume that the gas here acts like an ideal gas. Assume that this process is isobaric (in other words, pressure on the gas stays the same.) By Charles's Law, the volume of an ideal gas is proportional to its absolute temperature when its pressure is constant. In other words

\displaystyle V_2 = V_1\cdot \frac{T_2}{T_1},

where

  • V_2 is the final volume,
  • V_1 is the initial volume,
  • T_2 is the final temperature in degrees Kelvins.
  • T_1 is the initial temperature in degrees Kelvins.

Convert the temperatures to degrees Kelvins:

T_1 = \rm 25^{\circ}C = (25 + 273.15)\; K = 298.15\; K.

T_2 = \rm 35^{\circ}C = (35 + 273.15)\; K = 308.15\; K.

Apply Charles's Law to find the new volume of this gas:

\displaystyle V_2 = V_1\cdot \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \rm 55\;L \times \frac{308.15\; K}{298.15\; K} = 56.8\; L.

The equilibrium constant is given for two of the reactions below. Determine the value of the missing equilibrium constant. 2A(g)
monitta

Answer:

The value of the missing equilibrium constant ( of the first equation) is 1.72

Explanation:

First equation: 2A + B ↔ A2B   Kc = TO BE DETERMINED

 ⇒ The equilibrium expression for this equation is written as: [A2B]/[A]²[B]

Second equation: A2B + B ↔ A2B2   Kc= 16.4

⇒ The equilibrium expression is written as: [A2B2]/[A2B][B]

Third equation:  2A + 2B ↔ A2B2     Kc = 28.2

⇒ The equilibrium expression is written as: [A2B2]/ [A]²[B]²

If we add the first to the second equation

2A + B + B ↔ A2B2   the equilibrium constant Kc will be X(16.4)

But the sum of these 2 equations, is the same as the third equation ( 2A + 2B ↔ A2B2)   with Kc = 28.2

So this means: 28.2 = X(16.4)

or X = 28.2/16.4

X = 1.72

with X = Kc of the first equation

The value of the missing equilibrium constant ( of the first equation) is 1.72

A chemist must dilute 47.2 mL of 150. mM aqueous sodium nitrate solution until the concentration falls to . He'll do this by add
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

0.295 L

Explanation:

It seems your question lacks the final concentration value. But an internet search tells me this might be the complete question:

" A chemist must dilute 47.2 mL of 150. mM aqueous sodium nitrate solution until the concentration falls to 24.0 mM. He'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. "

Keep in mind that if your value is different, the answer will be different as well. However the methodology will remain the same.

To solve this problem we can<u> use the formula</u> C₁V₁=C₂V₂

Where the subscript 1 refers to the concentrated solution and the subscript 2 to the diluted one.

  • 47.2 mL * 150 mM = 24.0 mM * V₂
  • V₂ = 295 mL

And <u>converting into L </u>becomes:

  • 295 mL * \frac{1 L}{1000mL} = 0.295 L
