1 answer:
Answer:
8.11g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Molarity of aqueous solution = 0.3M
total volume = 0.15L
Molecular weight of glucose = 180.6g/mol
Unknown:
Mass of glucose needed in the solution = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to understand molarity.
Molarity is the number of moles of solute in a given volume of solution. In this problem, the solute here is the glucose and the solvent is water.
Molarity =
A solution is made up of solute and solvent.
now, let us solve for the number of moles of the solute which is glucose;
Number of moles of glucose = molarity x volume of solution;
= 0.3 x 0.15
= 0.045mole
Now to find the mass of glucose;
mass of glucose = number of moles x molar mass
input the parameters;
Mass of glucose = 0.045 x 180.16 = 8.11g

Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Gas produced at cathode.
(i). Identity
The only species known to be present are Cu, H⁺, and H₂O.
Only the H⁺ and H₂O can be reduced.
The corresponding reduction half reactions are:
(1) 2H₂O + 2e⁻ ⇌ H₂ + 2OH⁻; E° = -0.8277 V
(2) 2H⁺ +2e⁻ ⇌ H₂; E° = 0.0000 V
Two important points to remember when using a table of standard reduction potentials:
- The higher up a species is on the right-hand side, the more readily it will lose electrons (be oxidized).
- The lower down a species is on the left-hand side, the more readily it will accept electrons (be reduced}.
H⁺ is below H₂O, so H⁺ is reduced to H₂.
The cathode reaction is 2H⁺ +2e⁻ ⇌ H₂, and the gas produced at the cathode is hydrogen.
(ii) Volume
a. Anode reaction
The only species that can be oxidized are Cu and H₂O.
The corresponding half reactions are:
(3) Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇌ Cu; E° = 0.3419 V
(4) O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4e⁻ ⇌ 2H₂O E° = 1.229 V
Cu is above H₂O, so Cu is more easily oxidized.
The anode reaction is Cu ⇌ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻.
b. Overall reaction:
Cu ⇌ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻
<u>2H⁺ +2e⁻ ⇌ H₂ </u>
Cu + 2H⁺ ⇌ Cu²⁺ + H₂
c. Moles of Cu lost
d. Moles of H₂ formed
e. Volume of H₂ formed
Volume of 1 mol at STP (0 °C and 1 bar) = 22.71 mL
(b) Avogadro's number
(i) Moles of electrons transferred
(ii) Number of coulombs
Q = It
Q = \text{1.18 C/s} \times 1.52 \times 10^{3} \text{ s} = 1794 C
(iii). Number of electrons
(iv) Avogadro's number
