The cell potential of the following electrochemical cell depends on the gold concentration in the cathode half-cell: Pt(s)|H2(g,

1atm)|H+(aq,1.0M)||Au3+(aq,?M)|Au(s). What is the concentration of Au3+ in the solution if Ecell is 1.23 V ?

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of Au^{3+} in the solution is 1.87\times 10^{-14}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given cell is:

Pt(s)|H_2(g.1atm)|H^+(aq.,1.0M)||Au^{3+}(aq,?M)|Au(s)

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> H_2(g)\rightarrow 2H^{+}(1.0M)+2e^-;E^o_{H^+/H_2}=0V ( × 3)

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> Au^{3+}(?M)+3e^-\rightarrow Au(s);E^o_{Au^{3+}/Au}=1.50V ( × 2)

<u>Net reaction:</u> 3H_2(s)+2Au^{3+}(?M)\rightarrow 6H^{+}(1.0M)+2Au(s)

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

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

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

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=1.50-0=1.50V

To calculate the concentration of ion for given EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[H^{+}]^6}{[Au^{3+}]^2}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = 1.23 V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.50 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 6

[Au^{3+}]=?M

[H^{+}]=1.0M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.23=1.50-\frac{0.059}{6}\times \log(\frac{(1.0)^6}{[Au^{3+}]^2})

[Au^{3+}]=1.87\times 10^{-14}M

Hence, the concentration of Au^{3+} in the solution is 1.87\times 10^{-14}M

Answer:

0.17325 moles per liter per second

Explanation:

For a first order reaction;

in[A] = in[A]o - kt

Where;

[A]= concentration at time t

[A]o = initial concentration

k= rate constant

t= time taken

ln0.5 =ln1 - 2k

2k = ln1 - ln0.5

k= ln1 - ln0.5/2

k= 0 -(0.693)/2

k= 0.693/2

k= 0.3465 s-1

Rate of reaction = k[A]

Rate = 0.3465 s-1 × 0.50 mol/L

Rate = 0.17325 moles per liter per second

A jug contains 2L of milk. Calculate the volume of the milk in m3
stepan [7]

Answer: 0.002 m³

Explanation:

We can use our unit conversions to find the volume in m³.

2L*\frac{1m^3}{1000L} =0.002m^3

Hydrides are compounds made up of hydrogen and metal. Why ammonia has the highest boiling point among the hydrides of elements i
RoseWind [281]
The correct option is D.
The hydrogen atoms that are attached to the nitrogen atom in the ammonia molecule are capable of forming hydrogen bond. The hydrogen bond that exist in the ammonia molecule is the reason why it shows higher boiling point compare to the other hydrides. Hydrogen bond occur in ammonia because ammonia is one of the most electronegative elements.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: picture shows work for # 1,2,4,5,7

Explanation:

number 3: as the pressure in the volume decreases, the volume increases causing it to expand and eventually blow.

number 6: because the temperature and the amount of gas don’t change, these terms don’t appear in the equation. What Boyle’s law means is that the volume of a mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. This linear relationship between pressure and volume means doubling the volume of a given mass of gas decreases its pressure by half.

hope this helps :))
