Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are 9 essential amino acids which cannot be made by the body and have to be obtained from food.

They are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine

The free energy change for the following reaction at 25 °C, when [Cr3+] = 1.32×10-3 M and [Fe3+] = 1.14 M, is 131 kJ: Cr3+(1.32×

larisa [96]

Answer:

E°cell = - 1.3575 V

This reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction

Explanation:

The given cell reaction:

Cr³⁺(1.32 × 10⁻³ M) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + Fe³⁺(1.14 M)

The given Gibbs free energy: ΔG = 131 kJ = 131 × 10³ J (∵ 1 kJ = 10³ J)

As we know,

ΔG = - n F E°cell

Here, n - the number of moles of electrons transferred = 1

F - Faraday constant = 96500

E°cell - cell potential = ?

$\therefore E^{\circ }_{cell} = -\frac{\Delta G}{n \: F} = -\frac{131\times 10^{3}\, J}{1\, mol\times96500 \, C.mol^{-1}}$

$\Rightarrow E^{\circ }_{cell} = -1.3575\, V$

For a given chemical reaction if-

1. ΔG = negative and E°cell = positive

⇒ The reaction is spontaneous and proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.

2. ΔG = positive and E°cell = negative

⇒ The reaction is non-spontaneous and proceeds spontaneously in the reverse direction.

Since, for this chemical reaction: 

Cr³⁺(1.32 × 10⁻³ M) + Fe²⁺(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + Fe³⁺(1.14 M)

ΔG = + 131 × 10³ J ⇒ positive

and, E°cell = - 1.3575 V ⇒ negative

Therefore, this reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.

Table Salt or NaCl is composed of sodium and chlorine. While the individual elements of sodium and chlorine are very reactive, t

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Chlorine is more likely to steal a valence electron from sodium.

Explanation:

Sodium is number 11 on the periodic table with one valence electron. Belonging to the first group, it's one of the alkali metal, which are known to be highly reactive. Chlorine is number 17 with seven valence electrons, and it's in the second-to-last group of halogens--also very reactive.

Considering that elements with one valence electron are just about 100% likely to give up electrons to reach a stable state, sodium would be the element that is more likely to lose its valence electron to chlorine. In other words, chlorine would be the electron thief.
