All three of the phosphorus-fluorine single bonds in pf3 are polar. in which direction should the polarity arrows point?

1 answer:

3 0

One of the causes of polarity is the unequal forces of the dipole forces due to differences in electronegativity. The more electronegative molecule tend to attract electrons, hence the polarity arrows point towards it. The electronegativity of Phosphorus and Fluorine is 2.19 and 3.98, respectively. Thus, it points outward towards the fluorine atoms.

Using the following standard reduction potentials, Fe3+(aq) + e- → Fe2+(aq) E° = +0.77 V Ni2+(aq) + 2 e- → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V ca

lina2011 [118]

<u>Answer:</u> The above reaction is non-spontaneous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2Fe^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}(aq.)+Ni(s)$

Here, nickel is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons and iron is getting oxidized because it is loosing electrons.

We know that:

$E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}=0.77V\\E^o_{(Ni^{2+}/Ni)}=-0.23V$

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.23-0.77=-1.0V$

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

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

As, the standard electrode potential of the cell is coming out to be negative for the above cell. Thus, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction will become positive making the reaction non-spontaneous.

Hence, the above reaction is non-spontaneous.

Would a thermos without a lid with water in it be an open or closed system? I'm so confused... also please explain your answer,

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

. A closed system allows only energy transfer but no transfer of mass. Example: a cup of coffee with a lid on it, or a simple water bottle. ... In reality, a perfectly isolated system does not exist, for instance hot water in a thermos flask cannot remain hot forever.
