a) First, to get ΔG°rxn we have to use this formula when:
ΔG° = - RT ㏑ K
when ΔG° is Gibbs free energy
and R is the constant = 8.314 J/mol K
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25 °C+ 273 = 298 K
and when K = 4.4 x 10^-2
so, by substitution:
ΔG°= - 8.314 * 298 *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)
= -7739 J = -7.7 KJ
b) then, to get E° cell for a redox reaction we have to use this formula:
ΔE° Cell = (RT / nF) ㏑K
when R is a constant = 8.314 J/molK
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25°C + 273 = 298 K
and n = no.of moles of e- from the balanced redox reaction= 3
and F is Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol
and K = 4.4 x 10^-2
so, by substitution:
∴ ΔE° cell = (8.314 * 298 / 3* 96485) *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)
= - 2.7 x 10^-2 V
Group 17 is the most readily reduced elements on the periodic table, meaning that they are so close to being a stable elements, only missing 1 electron to complete their valance electron shell. Thus they will essentially react with anything to get that last electron!
Group 1 elements are extremely reactive because they are the most readily oxidized, they are very close to reaching stability by giving up only 1 electron. Thus they will react with almost anything to give up their electron.
Tomato juice or acid rain
P = nRT/V
P = 3.5 x 10^-3 x 0.082 x 298 /0.5
P = 0.171 m Hg
P = 171 mm Hg
hope this helps
