A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt M2SO4. Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 5

0.0mM solution of M2SO4 and the right half cell with a 5.00M solution of the same substance. Electrodes made of M are dipped into both solutions and a voltmeter is connected between them. The temperature of the apparatus is held constant at 20.0°C.
Which electrode will be positive?

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The soluble sulfate formed by the metal, M = M₂SO₄

In the galvanic cell formed by the metal M, we have;

The concentration of M₂SO₄ in the left half cell = 50.0 mM = 0.05 M

The concentration of M₂SO₄ in the right half cell = 5.00 M

In the galvanic cell, the metal 'M' will be dissolved into the solution with lower concentration as M²⁺ which is the left half cell, making the cell negative and the solution more concentrated

In the right half cell, the metal 'M²⁺' in the solution will be plated unto the electrode making the solution less concentrated and the electrode in the right half cell will be the positive electrode

Therefore;

The electrode which will be positive is the electrode in the right half cell.

Given the chemical equation: 2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO, if 51.8 grams of Pb are formed in this reaction, then 8.00 grams of O2 must have
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require 4.00 g of O2

If 51.8 g of PbO is formed, it will require 3.47 g of O2.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO

From the equation of reaction, 2 moles of lead metal, Pb, reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas, O2, to produce 2 moles of lead (ii) oxide, PbO

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g

Molar mass of PbO = 207 + 32 = 239 g

Therefore 2 × 207 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 2 × 239 g of PbO

= 414 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 478 g of PbO

Therefore, formation of 51.8 g of PbO will require (32/478) × 51.8 of O2 = 3.47 g of O2.

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require (32/414) × 51.8 g of O2 = 4.00 g of O2
