b. Analysis. In the analysis step, you organize and interpret your data to see if they support your hypothesis.
a. Experimentation is <em>incorrect</em> because this is the step in which you do experiments to test if your prediction is accurate.
c. Conclusion is <em>incorrect</em> because a conclusion is a decision you make to accept or reject your hypothesis.
d. Hypothesis is <em>incorrect</em> because a hypothesis is a proposed explanation for why something happens.
Answer:
A) E° = 4.40 V
B) ΔG° = -8.49 × 10⁵ J
Explanation:
Let's consider the following redox reaction.
2 Li(s) +Cl₂(g) → 2 Li⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
We can write the corresponding half-reactions.
Cathode (reduction): Cl₂(g) + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻(aq) E°red = 1.36 V
Anode (oxidation): 2 Li(s) → 2 Li⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = -3.04
<em>A) Calculate the cell potential of this reaction under standard reaction conditions.</em>
The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the reduction potential of the cathode and the reduction potential of the anode.
E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 1.36 V - (-3.04 V) 4.40 V
<em>B) Calculate the free energy ΔG° of the reaction.</em>
We can calculate Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.
ΔG° = -n.F.E°
where,
n are the moles of electrons transferred
F is Faraday's constant
ΔG° = - 2 mol × (96468 J/V.mol) × 4.40 V = -8.49 × 10⁵ J
We will balance the equation in the following order: metals, amethals, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (the most common order).
The metal present in the equation is Sr, which is already balanced (there are 1 on each side of the equation).
The amethal present in the equation is Cl. There is 2 Cl in the left side and only one in the right side. So, we will multiply the quantity of the molecule that contains Cl by 2. Doing this, we'll obtain:
Looking at the equation, we can see that it is now fully balanced. Hence, a balanced equation of the reaction is:
The correct option is D.
The hydrogen atoms that are attached to the nitrogen atom in the ammonia molecule are capable of forming hydrogen bond. The hydrogen bond that exist in the ammonia molecule is the reason why it shows higher boiling point compare to the other hydrides. Hydrogen bond occur in ammonia because ammonia is one of the most electronegative elements.
All the elements in one group have the same number of valence electrons.
