A student does an experiment to determine the molar solubility of lead(II) bromide. She constructs a voltaic cell at 298 K consi

sting of 0.733 M lead nitrate solution and a lead electrode in the cathode compartment, and a saturated lead bromide solution and a lead electrode in the anode compartment. If the cell potential is measured to be 5.45×10-2 V, what is the molar solubility of lead bromide at 298 K determined in this experiment?

Answer:

The molar solubility of lead bromide at 298K is 0.010 mol/L.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to use the Nernst Equaiton:

E = E^{o} - \frac{0.0591}{n} log\frac{[ox]}{[red]}

E is the cell potential at a certain instant, E⁰ is the cell potential, n is the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, [ox] is the concentration of the oxidated specie and [red] is the concentration of the reduced specie.

At equilibrium, E = 0, therefore:

E^{o}  = \frac{0.0591}{n} log \frac{[ox]}{[red]} \\\\log \frac{[ox]}{[red]} = \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591} \\\\log[red] =  log[ox] -  \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591}\\\\[red] = 10^{ log[ox] -  \frac{nE^{o} }{0.0591}} \\\\[red] = 10^{ log0.733 -  \frac{2x5.45x10^{-2}  }{0.0591}}\\\\

[red] = 0.010 M

The reduction will happen in the anode, therefore, the concentration of the reduced specie is equivalent to the molar solubility of lead bromide.

How many atoms are in 45.22 moles of strontium​
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

272.31× 10²³ atom of strontium

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of strontium = 45.22 mol

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

45.22 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atom / 1 mol

272.31× 10²³ atom

What is a reaction rate?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

A reaction rate is a measure of how fast a reactant disappears or a product forms during a reaction.

Explanation:

It is usually defined as the change in concentration per unit time:

Δ(concentration)/Δt

The units are (moles per litre) per second.

In symbols, the units are mol/(L·s) or mol·L^-1 s^-1.

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

(A) endothermic

(A) Yes, absorbed

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 Fe₂O₃(s) ⇒ 4 FeO(s) + O₂(g)  ΔH = 560 kJ

Since ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic.

We can establish the following relations:

  • 560 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of Fe₂O₃ react.
  • The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 160 g/mol.

Suppose 66.6 g of Fe₂O₃ react. The heat absorbed is:

66.6g.\frac{1mol}{160g} .\frac{560kJ}{2mol} =117kJ
