Answer: The value of E^{o} for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.

Explanation:

Equation for solubility equilibrium is as follows.

          AgCl(s) \rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)

Its solubility product will be as follows.

       K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]

Cell reaction for this equation is as follows.

     Ag(s)| AgCl(s)|Cl^{-}(0.1 M)|| Ag^{+}(1.0 M)| Ag(s)

Reduction half-reaction: Ag^{+} + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Ag(s),  E^{o}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = 0.799 V

Oxidation half-reaction: Ag(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + 1e^{-},   E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag} = ?

Cell reaction: Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s)

So, for this cell reaction the number of moles of electrons transferred are n = 1.

    Solubility product, K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]

                                               = 1.77 \times 10^{-10}

Therefore, according to the Nernst equation

           E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{n} log \frac{[AgCl]}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}

At equilibrium, E_{cell} = 0.00 V

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

         E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{n} log \frac{[AgCl]}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}

        0.00 = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{1} log \frac{1}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}    

       E^{o}_{cell} = \frac{0.0592}{1} log \frac{1}{K_{sp}}

                  = 0.0591 V \times log \frac{1}{1.77 \times 10^{-10}}

                  = 0.577 V

Hence, we will calculate the standard cell potential as follows.

           E^{o}_{cell} = E^{o}_{cathode} - E^{o}_{anode}

       0.577 V = E^{o}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} - E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag}

       0.577 V = 0.799 V - E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag}

       E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag} = 0.222 V

Thus, we can conclude that value of E^{o} for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.

If 3 moles of a compound use 12 J of energy in a reaction, what is the Hreaction in kJ/mol
igomit [66]

Answer:

\Delta _RH=4x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{mol}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the molar enthalpy of reaction is obtained by dividing the involved energy by the reacting moles:

\Delta _RH=\frac{12J}{3mol} =4\frac{J}{mol}

Thus, it is important to notice that the compound "uses" the energy, it means that it absorbs the energy, for that reason the sign is positive. Moreover, computing the result in kJ/mol we finally obtain:

\Delta _RH=4\frac{J}{mol}*\frac{1kJ}{1000J} =4x10^{-3}\frac{kJ}{mol}

Best regards.

Bombardment of cobalt-59 with a neutron produces a manganese-56 atom and another particle. What is this particle?A. an alpha par
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:A

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is balanced by ensuring that the Masses and charges of te reactants and products are exactly balanced on the left and right hand side of the reaction equation. If there are 60 mass units on the LHS and manganese has only 56 mass units then four mass units are left. If there is no charge on a neutron and there is a charge of 27 on the cobalt, then two charges are left. Four mass units and a charge of +2 corresponds to a helium which is actually an alpha particle.
