A particular voltaic cell operates with the reaction: Zn(s)+Cl2(g)--->Zn^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq) giving a cell potential of .853 V.

Calculate the amount of energy liberated from the cell when 20.0g of zinc metal is consumed?

Answer:

The amount of energy liberated will be 49.38 J.

Explanation:

The amount of energy liberated (gibbs free energy) can be calculated using the following equation:

ΔG° = -nFε

n: amount of moles of electrons transfered

F: Faraday's constant

ε: cell potential

20.0 g of Zn is equal to 0.30 mol.

Two electrons are transfered during the reaction.

Therefore, n = 2x0.30 ∴ n = 0.60

ΔG° = - 0.60 x 96.485 x 0.853

ΔG° = 49.38 J

The gaseous product of a reaction is collected in a 25.0L container at 27.0 C. The pressure in the container is 3.0atm and the g
NeX [460]

Answer: The molar mass of the gas is 31.6 g/mol

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 3.0 atm

V = Volume of gas = 25.0 L

n = number of moles  = ?

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =27.0^0C=(27.0+273)K=300K

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{3.0atm\times 25.0L}{0.0821 L atm/K mol\times 300K}=3.04moles

Moles =\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

3.04=\frac{96.0g}{\text {Molar mass}}

{\text {Molar mass}}=31.6g/mol

The molar mass of the gas is 31.6 g/mol

Anna007 [38]
The reaction occurs in a similar way as magnesium does, but much less vigorous. Strong heating is required to make iron powder burn in oxygen. The reaction gives out a yellow showery sparks and produces a black solid. iron reacts with dilute hydrocloric acid to give iron chloride and hydrogen gas.
