Calculate the EMF between copper and silver Ag+e-E=0.89v<br>Cu=E=0.34v

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Depending on the $E^\circ$ value of $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \to Ag\; (s)$ , the cell potential would be:

$0.55\; \rm V$ , using data from this particular question; or
approximately $0.46\; \rm V$ , using data from the CRC handbooks.

Explanation:

In this galvanic cell, the following two reactions are going on:

The conversion between $\rm Ag\; (s)$ and $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions, $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Ag\; (s)$ , and
The conversion between $\rm Cu\; (s)$ and $\rm Cu^{2+}$ ions, $\rm Cu^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\, e^{-} \rightleftharpoons \rm Cu\; (s)$ .

Note that the standard reduction potential of $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions to $\rm Ag\; (s)$ is higher than that of $\rm Cu^{2+}$ ions to $\rm Cu\; (s)$ . Alternatively, consider the fact that in the metal activity series, copper is more reactive than silver. Either way, the reaction is this cell will be spontaneous (and will generate a positive EMF) only if $\rm Ag^{+}$ ions are reduced while $\rm Cu\; (s)$ is oxidized.

Therefore:

The reduction reaction at the cathode will be: $\rm Ag^{+} + e^{-} \to Ag\; (s)$ . The standard cell potential of this reaction (according to this question) is $E(\text{cathode}) = 0.89\; \rm V$ . According to the 2012 CRC handbook, that value will be approximately $0.79\; \rm V$ .

The oxidation at the anode will be: $\rm Cu\; (s) \to \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\, e^{-}$ . According to this question, this reaction in the opposite direction ( $\rm Cu^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\, e^{-} \rightleftharpoons \rm Cu\; (s)$ ) has an electrode potential of $0.34\; \rm V$ . When that reaction is inverted, the electrode potential will also be inverted. Therefore, $E(\text{anode}) = -0.34\; \rm V$ .

The cell potential is the sum of the electrode potentials at the cathode and at the anode:

$\begin{aligned}E(\text{cell}) &= E(\text{cathode}) + E(\text{anode}) \\ &= 0.89 \; \rm V + (-0.34\; \rm V) = 0.55\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

Using data from the 1985 and 2012 CRC Handbook:

$\begin{aligned}E(\text{cell}) &= E(\text{cathode}) + E(\text{anode}) \\ &\approx 0.7996 \; \rm V + (-0.337\; \rm V) \approx 0.46\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(a) See below

(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F

Explanation:

The equation relating the temperature to time is

$T = T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )$

1. Calculate the thermometer readings after 0.5 min and 1 min

(a) After 0.5 min

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.6065)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.3935)\\ & = & 100 + 3.935\\ & = & 103.935\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

(b) After 1 min

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.6321)\\ & = & 100 + 6.321\\ & = & 106.321\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min

T₀ =106.321 °F

ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F

t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late

$\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-(t - 1)/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-(2 - 1)/1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (0.6321)\\ & = & 106.321 - 3.996\\ & = & 102.325\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}$

3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.

The graphs are shown below.

Juliette [100K]

Balanced equation: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) ---> 2NaCl(s)

when we have STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol = 22.4 L

first, we have to convert grams to molecules using the molar mass, and then use mole to mole ratio from the balanced equation.

molar mass of Na= 23.0 g/mol
ratio: 2 mol Na= 1 mol Cl₂ (based on coefficients of balanced equation)

calculations:

$6.25 g Na ( \frac{1 mol Na}{23.0 g} ) ( \frac{1 mol Cl_2}{2 mol Na} ) ( \frac{22.4 L}{1 mol} )= 3.04 L$
