A galvanic cell is based on the following half-reactions at 279 K: Ag+ + e- → Ag Eo = 0.803 V H2O2 (aq) + 2 H+ + 2 e- → 2 H2O Eo

= 1.78 V What will the potential of this cell be when [Ag+] = 0.559 M, [H+] = 0.00393 M, and [H2O2] = 0.863 M?

<u>Answer:</u> The potential of the given cell is 0.856 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced.

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag}=0.803V     ( × 2)

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> H_2O_2(aq.)+2H^{+}+2e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O;E^o=1.78V

<u>Net reaction:</u>  2Ag(s)+H_2O_2(aq.)+2H^{+}\rightarrow 2Ag^{+}+2H_2O

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at 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}=1.78-(0.803)=0.977V

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Ag^{+}]^2}{[H^{+}]^2[H_2O_2]}

where,

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

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.977 V

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/K mol

T = temperature = 279 K

F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Ag^{+}]=0.559M

[H^{+}]=0.00393M

[H_2O_2]=0.863M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=0.977-\frac{2.303\times 8.314\times 279}{2\times 96500}\times \log(\frac{(0.559)^2}{(0.00393)^2\times (0.863)})\\\\E_{cell}=0.856V

Hence, the potential of the given cell is 0.856 V

What type of bond connects the fatty acid?
scoray [572]

The  type of bond connects the fatty acid will be " an ester bond".

Fatty acids could be joined to each of the three carbons of the glycerol molecule in a fat molecule by an ester bond that passes through into the oxygen atom. Three molecules are emitted during the establishment of the ester bond. Fats were also known as triacylglycerols as well as triglycerides because they are made consisting of three fatty acids and glycerol.

The three major nutrients in a diet may be carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. According to how many hydrogen bonds they contain, fats are classified as either saturated as well as unsaturated.

The  type of bond connects the fatty acid will be " an ester bond".

Hence, the correct answer will be option (c)

Explain how temperature and mass affect the appearance of stars
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

If the star has smaller mass than the Sun, it can fuse hydrogen into helium for at least a trillion years. The larger a star, the shorter its life because it fuses hydrogen into helium much more quickly. A star whose mass is more than 20 Suns will run out of hydrogen in only a few hundred million years.
