Answer : The correct option is, (3) the anode in both a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell.

Explanation :

As we know that there are two types of cell which are, electrolytic cell and voltaic cell.

Electrolytic cell : It is a cell in which the chemical reaction occurs by passing of the current from external source.

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

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

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.

Hence, the oxidation occur in a voltaic cell and in an electrolytic cell at the anode in both a voltaic cell and an electrolytic cell.

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "(2) the cathode in a voltaic cell and the anode in an electrolytic cell." At the status of electrode does oxidation occur in a voltaic cell and in an electrolytic cell is that the cathode in a voltaic cell and the anode in an electrolytic cell

You need to prepare 1 L of the citric acid/citrate buffer. You have chosen to use Method 1 (see lab presentation). Calculate the

prisoha [69]

Answer:

3.11 is the pH of the buffer

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer is obtained using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [Conjugate base] / [Weak acid]

Where pH is the pH of the buffer, pKa = -log Ka = 3.14 for the citric buffer and [] could be taken as the moles of each species.

The citric acid,HX (Weak acid), reacts with NaOH to produce sodium citrate, NaX (weak base) and water:

HX + NaOH → H2O + NaX

That means the moles of NaOH added = Moles of sodium citrate produced

And the resulitng moles of HX = Initial moles - Moles NaOH added

Moles HX and NaX:

Moles NaOH = 0.100L * (0.65mol / L) = 0.065 moles NaOH = Moles NaX

Moles HX = 0.300L * (0.45mol / L) = 0.135 moles HX - 0.065 moles NaOH = 0.070 moles HX

Replacing in H-H equation:

pH = 3.14 + log [0.065mol] / [0.070mol]

pH = 3.11 is the pH of the buffer

Select all of the following statements that are false about ΔGo and ΔG:a) If the reaction has a large negative ΔGo value, the re

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

a) If the reaction has a large negative ΔGo value, the reaction must reach equilibrium at a small extent of reaction value

d) ΔGo and ΔG have the same magnitude, they just have opposite signs.

Explanation:

The fraction of the total heat energy if a system that does useful work is known as Gibb's free energy (G) and the change from the initial to final state is designated by $\Delta G$ . It is observed that the values of $\Delta G$ changes with experimental conditions such as temperature , pressure , concentration etc.

$\Delta G^0$ is the standard free energy change which is a balance of two natural tendencies of any system.

Minimization of potential energy or enthalpic factor $\Delta H^0$

Maximization of disorderliness or entropic factor $T\Delta S^0$

Mathematically; $\Delta G$ = $\Delta H^0$ - $T\Delta S^0$

Thus; from above mentioned, the statements that are true about ΔG⁰ and ΔG are:

ΔG⁰ and ΔG can have different values, they don't even have to have the same sign

For a reaction that reaches equilibrium, the minimum value of free energy must be at the equilibrium point

If ΔG⁰ , measured at an extent of reaction = 0.5, is positive, the sign for ΔG when the extent of reaction = 0.80 is also positive.

while the false statements include:

a) If the reaction has a large negative ΔG⁰ value, the reaction must reach equilibrium at a small extent of reaction value

d) ΔG⁰ and ΔG have the same magnitude, they just have opposite signs.
