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

electrostatic force

Explanation:

In ionic bonds one atom is positively charged (the atom that gives its electrons), and the other atom is negatively charged (the atom that receives the electrons); therefore, it is the opposite charge of the ions that attracts them to one another and holds them together with electrostatic force.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Is the source an authority on the subject?

Explanation:

To figure out which source is accurate, you want to find out the source's authority on the subject. For  example, if you wanted to learn how to play the piano, you wouldn't go to a dance teacher, you would go to someone who knows how to play the piano. The person who knows how to play the piano has more authority to teach the piano than a dance teacher.
