<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

What is the pH of a solution made by mixing 200 mL of 0.025M HCl and 150 mL of 0.050 M HCl?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer to your question is pH = 1.45  

Explanation:

Data

pH = ?

Volume 1 = 200 ml

[HCl] 1 = 0.025 M

Volume 2 = 150 ml

[HCl] 2 = 0.050 M

Process

1.- Calculate the number of moles of each solution

Solution 1

                Molarity = moles / volume

-Solve for moles

                moles = 0.025 x 0.2

result

               moles = 0.005

Solution 2

               moles = 0.050 x 0.15

-result

                moles = 0.0075

2.- Sum up the number of moles

Total moles = 0.005 + 0.0075

                   = 0.0125

3.- Sum up the volume

total volume = 200 + 150

                     350 ml or 0.35 l

4.- Calculate the final concentration

Molarity = 0.0125 / 0.35

              = 0.0357

5.- Calculate the pH

pH = -log [H⁺]

-Substitution

pH = -log[0.0357]

-Result

pH = 1.45

A solution of acetic acid has a pH of 3.45. What is the concentration of acetic acid in this solution? Ka for CH3COOH is 1.8×10-
Serjik [45]

Answer:

0.007 M

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,  

pH = - log [H⁺]

The expression of the pH of the calculation of weak acid is:-

pH=-log(\sqrt{k_a\times C})

Where, C is the concentration = ?

Given, pH = 3.45

So, for CH_3COOH, K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

3.45=-log(\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times C})

\log _{10}\left(\sqrt{1.8\cdot \:10^{-5}C}\right)=-3.45

C = 0.007 M

Identify and explain the process shown below. Name any two products obtained during this process and state their uses.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

This is heating limestone

Explanation:

Process:

limestone is heated strongly. After a while, the limestone begins to go cloudy. Test tube is heated too much that it is beginning to  soften it. After removing limewater, test tube cools down, the pressure in the test tube drops and air pressure pushes the cold the liquid into the hot test tube with terrible result.

Products:

Limestone is also known as calcium carbonate and Limewater

¿Todos los solutos se disuelven en cualquier solvente?
Katen [24]

Answer:

No

Explanation: No. Todos los solutos tienen una solubilidad diferente, lo que significa que todos tienen una cantidad única de gramos que se disolverían en el mismo solvente. una solución que ha disuelto todo el soluto que puede contener a una temperatura determinada.
