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

12. A beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. Will it float in water,
Greeley [361]

Taking into account the definition of density and Archimedes' principle, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

But first it is neccesary to know that density is a quantity referred to the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance or a solid object.

In other words, the density is the relationship between the weight (mass) of a substance and the volume that the same substance occupies.

The expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

In this case, a beginner's bowling ball has a mass of 4.9 kg and a volume of 5.4 liters. This is:

  • mass= 4.9 kg= 4900 g (being 1 kg= 1000 kg)
  • volume= 5.4 L= 5400 mL (being 1L=1000 mL)

Replacing in the definition of density:

density=\frac{4900 g}{5400 mL}

Solving:

<u><em>density=0.907 </em></u>\frac{g}{mL}<u><em /></u>

On the other hand, Archimedes' principle says that an object immersed in a liquid experiences an upward vertical force equal to the weight of the volume of the dislodged liquid.

The sinking or floating of an object is determined by its density with respect to that of the liquid in which it is submerged.

Considering water as the liquid where the object is submerged in this case, an object with a higher density than water will sink. In contrast, an object with a lower density than water will float.

In this case, considering that water has a density of 1 \frac{g}{mL}, the bowling ball for beginners has a lower density. This indicates that, having a lower density than water, the object will float.

In summary, the beginner bowling ball will float on the water.

Which vein carries oxygenated blood back into the heart?
Finger [1]

Answer:

The veins that carry oxygenated bloof back into the heart are the pulmonary arteries.

Explanation:

Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.

What is the molar concentration of 35 mL of H2SO4 that neutralizes 25 mL of 0.320M NaOH
stira [4]
V ( H2SO4) = 35 mL / 1000 => 0.035 L

M ( H2SO4) = ?

V ( NaOH ) = 25 mL / 1000 => 0.025 L 

M ( NaOH ) = 0.320 M

number of moles NaOH:

n = M x V

n = 0.025 x 0.320 => 0.008 moles of NaOH

Mole ratio:

<span>2 NaOH + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2 H2O
</span>
2 moles NaOH ---------------------- 1 mole H2SO4
0.008 moles moles NaOH ---------- ??

0.008 x 1 / 2 => 0.004 moles of H2SO4 :

Therefore:

M ( H2SO4) = n / V

M = 0.004 /  0.035

= 0.114 M

hope this helps!
