Answer:

Explanation:

Use the provided reduction potentials to calculate ArGº for the following balanced redox reaction: Pb2+(aq) + Cu(s) → Pb(s) + Cu

nydimaria [60]

Answer : The correct option is, +91 kJ/mole

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

Here copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V$

$E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V$

$E^0_{cell}=E^0_{cathode}-E^0_{anode}$

$E^0_{cell}=E^0_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}-E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}$

$E^0_{cell}=-0.13V-(0.34V)=-0.47V$

Now we have to calculate the standard Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

$E^o$ = standard e.m.f of cell = -0.47 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

$\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times (-0.47))=+90710J/mole=+90.71kJ/mole\approx +91kJ/mole$

Therefore, the standard Gibbs free energy is +91 kJ/mole

What type of wave do the contractions of the snake muscles make as the snake moves forward

S_A_V [24]

Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion:

Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward.

Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion.

Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand.

Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

The lowest possible concentration of free hydrogen ions is represented by a ph value of

spayn [35]

PH is the logarithmic measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution. In an aqueous system, the lowest possible concentration of H+ ions (least acidic) is 1x 10^-14. The -log(1x10^-14) = pH of 14

Why is there a difference in the conductivity of pure solid NaC1 and of the 1.0 M NaC1 soulution

Basile [38]

That would be cause part of the sodium is pure and that means it still kind of has it properties when it was an element and that its i think.
