The half-reaction are:
Cd ---> Cd(OH)₂
The oxidation number of Cd changed from 0 to +2. So, the number of mol electron transferred here is 2.
NiO(OH) --> Ni(OH)₂
The oxidation number of Cd changed from +3 to +2. So, the number of mol electron transferred here is 1.
Now, the greatest common factor would be 2. So, we use n=2 for the formula for ΔG°. F is Faraday's constant equal to 96,485 J/mol e.
ΔG° = nFE° = (2)(96,485)(1.5) =<em> 289,455 J</em>
Answer:
Density depends on the amount of the substance you have, as the mass will increase, but also what the volume is because if you have a high mass object with an extremely high volume, it won't be very dense. But if you have a high mass object with a low volume, it will be very dense.
Zn⁰ ----> Zn⁺² + 2e⁻ - oxidation
Hg⁺² + 2e⁻ ----> Hg⁰ - reduction
Zn loses 2 moles of electrons , and Hg gains 2 mole of electrons.
So, number of moles of electrons gained and lost during reaction is equal.
