Answer:
373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.
Explanation:
Mass of silver to be precipitated on ecah spoon = 0.500 g
Number of silver spoons = 250
Total mass of silver = 250 × 0.500 g = 125 g
Moles of AgCN = n =
Volume of AgCN solution =V
Molarity of the AgCN = 2.50 M
(1 L = 1000 mL)
373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.
Answer:
1.346 v
Explanation:
1) Fist of all we need to calculate the standard cell potential, one should look up the reduction potentials for the species envolved:
(oxidation) →
E°=0.337 v
(reduction) →
E°=1.679 v
(overall) +8H^{+}_{(aq)}→
E°=1.342 v
2) Nernst Equation
Knowing the standard potential, one calculates the nonstandard potential using the Nernst Equation:
Where 'R' is the molar gas constant, 'T' is the kelvin temperature, 'n' is the number of electrons involved in the reaction and 'F' is the faraday constant.
The problem gives the [red]=0.66M and [ox]=1.69M, just apply to the Nernst Equation to give
E=1.346
