A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt MSO, Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3.0
0 M solution of MSO, and the ight half cell with a 30.0 mM solution of the same substance. Electrodes made of M are dipped into both solutions and a voltmeter is connected between them. The temperature of the apparatus is held constant at 35.0 °C lf right 410 Which electrode will be positive? What voltage will the voltmeter show?
1 answer:
Answer:
E = 0.062 V
Explanation:
(a) See the attached file for the answer
(b)
Calculating the voltage (E) using the formula;
E = - (2.303RT/nf)log Cathode/Anode
Where,
R = 8.314 J/K/mol
T = 35°C = 308 K
F- Faraday's constant = 96500 C/mol,
n = number of moles of electron = 2
Substituting, we have
E = -(2.303 * 8.314 *308/2*96500) *log (0.03/3)
= -0.031 * -2
= 0.062V
Therefore, the voltmeter will show a voltage of 0.062 V

Explanation:
Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that if a chemical equation can be written as the sum of several other chemical equations, the enthalpy change of the first chemical equation is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the other chemical equations. Thus, the reaction that involves the conversion of reactant A to B, for example, has the same enthalpy change even if you convert A to C, before converting it to B. Regardless of how many steps it takes for the reactant to be converted to the product, the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is constant.
With Hess's Law in mind, let's see how A can be converted to 2C +E.
(Δ
) -----(1)
Since we have 2B, multiply the whole of II. by 2:
(2Δ
) -----(2)
This step converts all the B intermediates to 2C +2D. This means that the overall reaction at this stage is .
Reversing III. gives us a negative enthalpy change as such:
(-Δ
) -----(3)
This step converts all the D intermediates formed from step (2) to E. This results in the overall equation of , which is also the equation of interest.
Adding all three together:
(
)
Thus, the first option is the correct answer.
