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.

Answer:

As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. ... As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon's orbit lasts 27 1/2 days, but because the Earth keeps moving, it takes the Moon two extra days, 29 1/2, to come back to the same place in our sky.

True or false. Gas particles never touch each other.
Sati [7]

Answer:

False.  In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other.

Answer:

Starch is a viable indicator in the titration process because it turns deep dark blue when iodine is present in a solution. When starch is heated in water, decomposition occurs and beta-amylose is produced
