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

How many moles are in 1.5 x 10^20 molecules of NH3?
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>Because the question is asking moles of NH3, the compound, any subscripts are irrelevant. It only wants to know how many moles of NH3 molecules, not individual atoms.

Therefore, we can simply convert to moles. 1.5x10^23/6.022x10^23 = .249 moles of NH3.

(If it were to ask moles of Hydrogen, for example, you would multiply the answer by 3, because there are 3 atoms of Hydrogen per one molecule of NH3. But this only asks for moles of the entire compound).  

hope you have a great day! :)

What happens when an atom forms an ion?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

An is formed when an atom loses or gains one or more electrons. Because the number of electrons in an ion is different from the number of protons, an ion does have an overall electric charge.
