Determine the free energy(ΔG) from the standard cell potential (Ecell0 ) for the reaction:2ClO2-(aq)+Cl2(g)→2ClO2(g)+ 2Cl-(aq)wh

Dima020 [189]

Answer: The $\Delta G^o$ for the given reaction is $-7.84\times 10^4J$

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction:

$2ClO_2^-(aq.)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ClO_2(g)+2Cl^-(aq.)$

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $ClO_2^-\rightarrow ClO_2+e^-;E^o_{ClO_2^-/ClO_2}=0.954V$ ( × 2)

Reduction half reaction: $Cl_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl(g);E^o_{Cl_2/2Cl^-}=1.36V$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

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

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

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=1.36-(0.954)=0.406V$

To calculate standard Gibbs free energy, we use the equation:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

Where,

n = number of electrons transferred = 2

F = Faradays constant = 96500 C

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard cell potential = 0.406 V

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times 0.406=-78358J=-7.84\times 10^4J$

Hence, the $\Delta G^o$ for the given reaction is $-7.84\times 10^4J$

Mexico City has an elevation of 7400 ft above sea level. Its normal atmospheric pressure is 589 mm Hg. At what temperature does

IRISSAK [1]

Given that the volume and amount of water are kept constant,
P/T = constant
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Normal atmospheric pressure is 746 mmHg and normal boiling point of water is 100 °C.
746/100 = 589/T₂
T₂ = 79.0 °C

Need some help, please. Explain why anions are always larger than the atoms from which they are derived, while cations are alway

ANTONII [103]

The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.

To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.

While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.

On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.

At 63.5 C the vapor pressure of H2O is 175 torr and that of ethanol is 400 torr. A solution is made by adding equal masses of H2

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Moel fraction of ethanol in the solution = 0.28

Vapor pressure of the solution = 238 torr

Mole fraction of ethanol in the vapor = 0.47

Explanation:

Let's use 100 g of each substance as a calculus basis. Knowing that the molar mass of water is 18 g/mol and the molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol, the number of moles (n = mass/molar mass) of each one is:

nw = 100/18 = 5.56 mol

ne= 100/46 = 2.17 mol

The total number of moles is 7.73 mol, so the mole fraction of ethanol is

2.17/7.73 = 0.28

The mole fraction of water must be 0.72, so if we assume that the solution is ideal, by the Raoult's law, the solution vapor pressure is the sum of the multiplication of the mole fraction by the vapor pressure of each substance, thus:

P = 0.28*400 + 0.72*175

P = 238 torr

The partial pressure of each substance can be found by the multiplication of the molar fraction by the vapor pressure, thus:

Pw = 0.72*175 = 126 torr

Pe = 0.28*400 = 112 torr

To know the number of moles that is vaporized above the solution, we may use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P/n = RT/V

R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and V is the volume, so they are the same for both water and ethanol, thus

Pw/nw = Pe/ne

126/nw = 112/ne

ne = (112/126)*nw

ne = 0.89nw

So, the mole fraction of ethanol is:

ne/(ne + nw) = 0.89nw/(0.89nw + nw) = 0.89/1.89 = 0.47
