The cell notation is:
here in cell notation the left side represent the anodic half cell where right side represents the cathodic half cell
in anodic half cell : oxidation takes place [loss of electrons]
in cathodic half cell: reduction takes place [gain of electrons]
1) this is a galvanic cell
2) the standard potential of cell will be obtained by subtracting the standard reduction potential of anode from cathode
Therefore
3) as the value of emf is positive the reaction will be spontaneous as the free energy change of reaction will be negative
Δ
As reaction is spontaneous and there will be conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy it is a galvanic cell.
Answer:
The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.
Explanation:
The reaction quotient Qc is defined for a generic reaction:
aA + bB → cC + dD
where the concentrations are not those of equilibrium, but other given concentrations
Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which the direct and indirect reaction have the same speed and is represented by a constant Kc, which for a generic reaction as shown above, is defined:
where the concentrations are those of equilibrium.
This constant is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.
Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:
- If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.
- If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.
- If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.
In this case:
Q=100,000
100,000 < 4,300,000 (4.3*10⁶)
Q < Kc
