Answer :

(a) The anode and cathode will be E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}

and E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})} respectively.

(b) The emf of cell potential is 1.022 V

Explanation :

(a) The standard reduction potentials for iron and copper are:

E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}=0.77V\\E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

From the standard reduction potentials we conclude that, the substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

So, iron will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Copper will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The given cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode):  Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (cathode):  Fe^{3+}+1e^-\rightarrow Fe^{2+}

Thus, the anode and cathode will be E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}

and E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})} respectively.

(b) Now we have to calculate the potential of a cell.

Oxidation half reaction (anode):  Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (cathode):  Fe^{3+}+1e^-\rightarrow Fe^{2+}

In order to balance that electrons, we will multiple the reduction reaction by 2, we get:

Oxidation half reaction (anode):  Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (cathode):  2Fe^{3+}+2e^-\rightarrow 2Fe^{2+}

The overall cell reaction will be,

2Fe^{3+}+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2Fe^{2+}

E^o_{[Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}]}=2\times 0.77V=1.54V

E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=0.34V

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

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

E^o=E^o_{[Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}

E^o=1.54V-(0.34V)=1.20V

Now we have to calculate the cell potential.

Using Nernest equation :

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Fe^{2+}]^2[Cu^{2+}]}{[Fe^{3+}]^2}

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

E_{cell} = emf of the cell = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=1.20-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.20)^2(0.25)}{(0.0001)^2}

E_{cell}=1.022V

Therefore, the emf of cell potential is 1.022 V

How does carbonation affect melting point
FromTheMoon [43]
The sodium in soda lowers the melting point and makes the ice melt more slowly than it would in plain water because with the addition of any substance, there are fewer free water molecules available to form bonds together and freeze

The photon of light that is emitted as an electron drops back to its original orbit is:
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

energy

Explanation:

The photon of light that is emitted as an electron drops back to its original orbit is energy and this energy is released during de-excitation process.

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

An unknown liquid has a mass of 22.1 g
Yuki888 [10]
M = 22.1 g
V = 52.3 mL
D = ?

D = m/V
= 22.1/52.3
= 22.1*10/52.3*10
= 221/523
= 0.4

There. I’m sorry i forgot what exactly was the S.I. unit of density :(
