Answer:
(a) Cu²⁺ +2e⁻ ⇌ Cu
(c) 0.07 V
Explanation:
(a) Cu half-reaction
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇌ Cu
(c) Cell voltage
The standard reduction potentials for the half-reactions are+
<u> E°/V
</u>
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇌ Cu; 0.34
Hg₂Cl₂ + 2e⁻ ⇌ 2Hg + 2Cl⁻; 0.241
The equation for the cell reaction is
E°/V
Cu²⁺(0.1 mol·L⁻¹) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Cu; 0.34
<u>2Hg + 2Cl⁻ ⇌ Hg₂Cl₂ + 2e⁻; </u> <u>-0.241
</u>
Cu²⁺(0.1 mol·L⁻¹) + 2Hg + 2Cl⁻ ⇌ Cu + Hg₂Cl₂; 0.10
The concentration is not 1 mol·L⁻¹, so we must use the Nernst equation
(ii) Calculations:
T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
![Q = \dfrac{\text{[Cl}^{-}]^{2}}{ \text{[Cu}^{2+}]} = \dfrac{1}{0.1} = 10\\\\E = 0.10 - \left (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298.15 }{2 \times 96485}\right ) \ln(10)\\\\=0.010 -0.01285 \times 2.3 = 0.10 - 0.03 = \textbf{0.07 V}\\\text{The cell potential is }\large\boxed{\textbf{0.07 V}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BCl%7D%5E%7B-%7D%5D%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B%20%5Ctext%7B%5BCu%7D%5E%7B2%2B%7D%5D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.1%7D%20%3D%2010%5C%5C%5C%5CE%20%3D%200.10%20-%20%5Cleft%20%28%5Cdfrac%7B8.314%20%5Ctimes%20298.15%20%7D%7B2%20%5Ctimes%2096485%7D%5Cright%20%29%20%5Cln%2810%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.010%20-0.01285%20%5Ctimes%202.3%20%3D%200.10%20-%200.03%20%3D%20%5Ctextbf%7B0.07%20V%7D%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BThe%20cell%20potential%20is%20%7D%5Clarge%5Cboxed%7B%5Ctextbf%7B0.07%20V%7D%7D)
Answer:
it lost 900J of energy I will assume and that would mean the change in energy is -900J

To find out how many molecules you have, you need to multiply the number of moles with Avogadros constant: 2.50 * 6.022 * 10²³ = 1.5055 * 10^24.
Answer:
a) gold - Solid
b) gasoline - liquid
c) oxygen - gaseous
d) olive oil - liquid
e) mercury (found in thermometers) - liquid
f) aluminum - solid
Explanation:
Matter exists in three states viz: solid, gas and liquid. Note that, room temperature is a neither hot or cold temperature, which is about 20-23°C.
A) Gold is a transition metal with the symbol Au. At a room temperature, Gold, like most metals are found as SOLIDS.
B) Gasoline is a liquid mixture of refined hydrocarbons majorly used as fuels.
C) Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O. It is a constituent of natural air, which is a mixture of different gases including oxygen. Hence, at room temperature, Oxygen is a gas.
D) Olive oil is a vegetable oil got from olives. It is composed of fats and it's a liquid at room temperature.
E) Mercury is an element with symbol Hg. It is the only metallic element found naturally (at room temperature) as a liquid. It is used in thermometers.
F) Aluminum is another chemical element with symbol Al. It is a lustrous metal that occurs as a Solid in room temperature.
