Who can tell me the half reaction about cucumber battery
xeze [42]
I've prepared some analysis and <span>cucumbers do have many comparable properties to potatoes, tomatoes, and lemons, all of which I know do work. So I would presume that cucumbers would also work. I would recommend trying it yourself to perceive. I'd love to hear the outcomes of your experiment. ;) </span>

What has to be true of a substance for it to dissolve in water?
lord [1]

The polarity of a water molecule comes from the uneven distribution of electron density of hydrogen and oxygen atom. The oxygen in the water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogen. Water has a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom. The result of this electrostatic attraction results in the bond called hydrogen bond. Also, because of this bond, it has the ability to dissolve most of the solutes due to its polarity and bonding.

. Determine the standard free energy change, ɔ(G p for the formation of S2−(aq) given that the ɔ(G p for Ag+(aq) and Ag2S(s) are
olga nikolaevna [1]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard free energy change of formation of S^{2-}(aq.) is 92.094 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

K_{sp}\text{ of }Ag_2S=8\times 10^{-51}

Relation between standard Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constant follows:

\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K

where,

\Delta G^o = standard Gibbs free energy = ?

R = Gas constant = 8.314J/K mol

T = temperature = 25^oC=[273+25]K=298K

K = equilibrium constant or solubility product = 8\times 10^{-51}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/K.mol)\times 298K\times \ln (8\times 10^{-51})\\\\\Delta G^o=285793.9J/mol=285.794kJ

For the given chemical equation:

Ag_2S(s)\rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+(aq.)+S^{2-}(aq.)

The equation used to calculate Gibbs free change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_f_{(reactant)}]

The equation for the Gibbs free energy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta G^o_f_{(Ag^+(aq.))})+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(Ag_2S(s))})]

We are given:

\Delta G^o_f_{(Ag_2S(s))}=-39.5kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_f_{(Ag^+(aq.))}=77.1kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o=285.794kJ

Putting values in above equation, we get:

285.794=[(2\times 77.1)+(1\times \Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))})]-[(1\times (-39.5))]\\\\\Delta G^o_f_{(S^{2-}(aq.))=92.094J/mol

Hence, the standard free energy change of formation of S^{2-}(aq.) is 92.094 kJ/mol

Discuss how the following factors determine the rate of electron transfer in biological systems:
Cloud [144]

Answer:check explanation

Explanation:

(a). HOW THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ELECTRON DONOR AND ACCEPTOR AFFECTS THE RATE OF ELECTRON TRANSFER IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM:

Distance between the acceptor and the donor can affect in two ways; short distance and long distance effect.

Short distance causes

electronic orbitals of donor and acceptor directly overlap whereas in LONG DISTANCE reactions this coupling is indirect because of

sequential overlaps of atomic orbitals of the donor, the intervening medium, and the orbitals of the acceptor.

(b). HOW REORGANIZATION ENERGY OF REDOX ACTIVE SPECIE SURROUNDING MEDIUM AFFECTS:

the reorganized energy does not depend on the pre-existing intra molecule electric field. The charge transferred inside the molecule interacts with its aqueous surroundings.

Reorganized energy can be calculated using Poisson-Boltzmann equation.
