Answer:

0.35 V

Explanation:

(a) Standard reduction potentials

                            <u> E°/V</u>

Fe²⁺ + 2e- ⇌ Fe; -0.41

Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⇌ Cr; -0.74

(b) Standard cell potential

                                             <u>  E°/V</u>

2Cr³⁺ + 6e⁻ ⇌ 2Cr;               +0.74

<u>3Fe  ⇌ 3Fe²⁺ + 6e-;             </u>  <u>-0.41 </u>

2Cr³⁺ + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺; +0.33

3. Cell potential

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e⁻ ⇌ 2Cr

<u>3Fe  ⇌ 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e- </u>

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹)

The concentrations are not 1 mol·L⁻¹, so we must use the Nernst equation

E = E^{\circ} - \dfrac{RT}{zF}\ln Q

(a) Data

  E° = 0.33 V

   R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

   T = 298 K

   z = 6

   F = 96 485 C/mol

(b) Calculations:  

Q = \dfrac{\text{[Fe}^{2+}]^{3}}{ \text{[Cr}^{3+}]^{2}} = \dfrac{0.25^{3}}{ 0.75^{2}} =\dfrac{0.0156}{0.562} = 0.0278\\\\E = 0.33 - \left (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{6 \times 96485}\right ) \ln(0.0278)\\\\=0.33 -0.00428 \times (-3.58) = 0.33 + 0.0153 = \textbf{0.35 V}\\\text{The cell potential is }\large\boxed{\textbf{0.35 V}}

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

n_{N_2}=6.41mol

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, teniendo en cuenta la información dada por el problema, inferimos que primero se debe usar la ecuación del gas ideal con el fin de calcular las moles de gas que se encuentran al inicio del experimento:

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{RT}{PV} \\\\n=\frac{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(50.0+273.15)K}{740/760atm*4.25L}\\\\n=6.41mol

Seguidamente, usamos la ley de Avogadro para calcular las moles finales, teniendo el cuenta que el volumen final es el doble del inicial (8.50 L):

n_2=\frac{6.41mol*8.50L}{4.25L}\\\\n_2=12.82mol

Quiere decir que las moles de N2(g) que se agregaron son:

n_{N_2}=12.81mol-6.41mol\\\\n_{N_2}=6.41mol

¡Saludos!

UkoKoshka [18]
Barium is an element that is primarily used in fireworks because of its distinct green colour while on the other hand, lead is used in electrical industries due to its unique properties. The ions of these elements can simply be identified when its insoluble salts get precipitated by any process.

What is true when an element is oxidized? It bonds with the hydroxide ion. It loses electrons to another element. It reacts with
Mama L [17]

Answer: It loses electrons to another element.

Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.

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

Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.

\frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}

What is the mass, in grams, of
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The answers to your question are below

Explanation:

a) 6.85×1020 H2O2 molecules

H2O2   MW = 32 + 2 = 34 g

                                    34g -------------------- 6.023 x 10²³ molecules

                                    x       -------------------  6.85 x 10 ²⁰

                                   x = (6.85 x 10 ²⁰)(34)/  6.023 x 10²³

                                   x = 0.038 g

3.3×1022 SO2 molecules

MW SO2 = 32 + 32 = 64g

                                    64 g -------------------- 6.023 x 10²³ molecules

                                    x      --------------------  3.3×1022 SO2 molecules

                                    x = (3.3×1022 SO2)(64) / 6.023 x 10²³

                                   x = 3.51 g

5.5×1025 O3 molecules

MW = 16 x 3 = 48g

                                 48 g -----------------   6.023 x 10²³ molecules

                                  x     ------------------   5.5×1025 O3 molecules

                               x = (5.5×1025 )(48) /  6.023 x 10²³

                               x = 4383 g

9.30×1019 CH4 molecules

MW = 12 + 4 = 16 g

                              16 g --------------------  6.023 x 10²³ molecules

                              x      --------------------   9.30×1019 CH4 molecules

                           x = (9.30×1019)(16) / 6.023 x 10²³

                           x = 0.0025 g
