Is burning of coal a reversible change???<br> If yes how?

koban [17]

I don't think so. No way that I know anyway. It it could be done then the need for more coal to be mined would have stopped hundreds of years ago. Once coal is burned, it forms water and carbon dioxide (essentially) with some sulfur oxides.

How do you put that back together again. It's a little like humpty dumpty.

Use the provided reduction potentials to calculate ArGº for the following balanced redox reaction: Pb2+(aq) + Cu(s) → Pb(s) + Cu

nydimaria [60]

Answer : The correct option is, +91 kJ/mole

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

Here copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V$

$E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V$

$E^0_{cell}=E^0_{cathode}-E^0_{anode}$

$E^0_{cell}=E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}-E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}$

$E^0_{cell}=-0.13V-(0.34V)=-0.47V$

Now we have to calculate the standard Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

$E^o$ = standard e.m.f of cell = -0.47 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

$\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times (-0.47))=+90710J/mole=+90.71kJ/mole\approx +91kJ/mole$

Therefore, the standard Gibbs free energy is +91 kJ/mole

Who can tell me the half reaction about cucumber battery

xeze [42]

I've prepared some analysis and <span>cucumbers do have many comparable properties to potatoes, tomatoes, and lemons, all of which I know do work. So I would presume that cucumbers would also work. I would recommend trying it yourself to perceive. I'd love to hear the outcomes of your experiment. ;) </span>
