How many electrons would be transferred in either a voltaic or electrolytic cell that uses the following half reactions
omeli [17]

Answer:

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

Explanation:

Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V

Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^- \rightarrow Mg (s),E^o = -2.37 V

The substance having highest positive reduction E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

Reduction : cathode

Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3 e^-\rightarrow Fe (s) ,E^o = -0.036 V..[1]

Oxidation: anode

Mg(s)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq) + 2 e^-,E^o = 2.37 V..[2]

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

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

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{red,cathode}-E^o_{red,anode}

E^o_{cell}=-0.036V-(-2.37 V)=2.334 V

The overall reaction will be:

2 × [1] + 3 × [2] :

2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)+6e^-

Electrons on both sides will get cancelled :

2Fe^{3+} (aq) + 3Mg(s)\rightarrow 2Fe (s)+3Mg^{2+}(aq)

Numbers of electrons transferred in the electrolytic or voltaic cell is 6 electrons.

A heavy textbook and a QOD journal sit on the edge of your desk. Which has more gravitational potential energy?
fenix001 [56]
The textbook Would most likely have more gravitational potential energy because it is heavier. Things that are heavier have a larger gravitational pull and are pulled to the earth faster

If 38.5 grams of potassium react with excess oxygen gas, how many grams of potassium oxide can be produced? 4K + O2 yields 2K2O
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

46.40 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
  • It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
  • We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>

n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.

0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.

∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.

  • Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.
