Harlamova29_29 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Lavoisier made an important contribution to chemistry by the law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass tell us, that the mass doens't change in a system. You have the same mass at the begining and in the end of a reaction.

Matter is neither created, nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

This law also states that mass of reactants is the same of products in any chemical reaction

A voltaic cell utilizes the following reaction: 4Fe2+(aq)+O2(g)+4H+(aq)→4Fe3+(aq)+2H2O(l). What is the emf of this cell under st
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

0.46 V

Explanation:

The emf for the cell is given by:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

From the  given balanced chemical equation, we can deduce that Fe²⁺ has been oxidized to Fe³⁺, and O reduced  from 0 to negative 2, according to the half cell reactions:

4Fe²⁺  ⇒ Fe³⁺ + 4e⁻           oxidation

O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O   reduction

From reference tables for the standard reduction potential, we get

Eº red Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺   Eºred = 0.77 V  

Eº red O₂ / H₂O      Eºred = 1.23 V

Now all we need to do is change the sign of Eº reduction for the species being oxidized ( Fe²⁺ ) and add it to Eº reduction  O₂:

Eº cell =   Eº oxidation + Eº reduction = - (0.77 V ) + 1.23 V = 0.46 V

Given the chemical equation: 2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO, if 51.8 grams of Pb are formed in this reaction, then 8.00 grams of O2 must have
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require 4.00 g of O2

If 51.8 g of PbO is formed, it will require 3.47 g of O2.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO

From the equation of reaction, 2 moles of lead metal, Pb, reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas, O2, to produce 2 moles of lead (ii) oxide, PbO

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g

Molar mass of PbO = 207 + 32 = 239 g

Therefore 2 × 207 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 2 × 239 g of PbO

= 414 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 478 g of PbO

Therefore, formation of 51.8 g of PbO will require (32/478) × 51.8 of O2 = 3.47 g of O2.

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require (32/414) × 51.8 g of O2 = 4.00 g of O2

Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g)3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surroundings w
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

dS= 1.79*169.504

j/k = 303.41 j/k

Explanation:

Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g) --> 3Fe (s)+ 4H2O(g)

dS(Fe3O4) =146.4 j/k

dS(H2) =130.684

dS(Fe) =27.78

dS(H2O) =188.825

dSrxn = dS[product]-dS[reactants]

= 3*dS(Fe)+ 4*dS(H2O)-[1*dS(Fe3O4)+ 4dS(H2)]

= [3*27.78 +4*188.825-146.4 -4*130.684] j/k = 169.504 j/k

This is the dS for 1mole Fe3O4

for 1.79 mols Fe3O4

dS= 1.79*169.504 j/k = 303.41 j/k
