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.

20 ML of a gas at 200 K is heated until the new volume is 55ML what is the final temperature of the gas
MrRa [10]

Answer:

T2 = 550K

Explanation:

From Charles law;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Where;

V1 is initial volume

V2 is final volume

T1 is initial temperature

T2 is final temperature

We are given;

V1 = 20 mL

V2 = 55 mL

T1 = 200 K

Thus from V1/T1 = V2/T2, making T2 the subject;

T2 = (V2 × T1)/V1

T2 = (55 × 200)/20

T2 = 550K
