A voltaic cell that uses the reaction PdCl2−4(aq)+Cd(s)→Pd(s)+4Cl−(aq)+Cd2+(aq) has a measured standard cell potential of +1.03
Ghella [55]

Answer : The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction : Cd(s)\rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction : Pd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Pd(s)

Explanation :

Voltaic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

The given redox reaction is:

PdCl_4^{2-}(aq)+Cd(s)\rightarrow Pd(s)+4Cl^-(aq)+Cd^{2+}(aq)

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction : Cd(s)\rightarrow Cd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction : Pd^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Pd(s)

The. bond dissociation enthalpies of the H-H bond and the H-Cl bond are 435 kJ mol^-1 and 431 kJ mol^-1, respectively. The ΔHfO
Novay_Z [31]

The bond dissociation energy of the Cl - Cl bond is -958 kJ mol^-1.

<h3>What is the dissociation enthalpy?</h3>

Given that;

H-H bond energy =  435 kJ mol^-1

H-Cl bond energy = 431 kJ mol^-1

ΔHfO of HCL(g) = -92kJ mol^-1

Bond dissociation enthalpy of the Cl-Cl bond = x

-92 = 435  +  431 + x

x = -92 - (435  +  431)

x = -958 kJ mol^-1

How many atoms of oxygen are in 0.100 mol of silicon dioxide?
lys-0071 [83]
1) Silicon dioxide formula: SiO2  ....... 2 is a subscript for the O atom

2) From the formula you have 1 molecula of SiO2 contains 1 atom of SiO2

3) Then, 0.100 mol of SiO2 contains 0.1 mol of Si

4) Multiply by Avogadro's number: 0.100mol *  6.022*10^23 atoms/mol= 6.02*10^22 atoms

Answer: 6.02*10^22 atoms

Calculate the DH°rxn for the decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. DH°f [CaCO3(s)] = –1206.9 k
Lena [83]

Answer:

ΔHrxn = 178.3 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using Hess's law, you can obtain ΔHrxn from ΔHf of products and reactants, thus:

<em>Hess's law: </em>

ΔHrxn = <em>∑nΔHf products - ∑nΔHf reactants</em>

<em>Where n are moles of reaction</em>

<em> </em>

Thus, from the reaction:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

ΔHrxn = <em>ΔHf </em>CaO(s)<em> + ΔHf </em>CO₂(g)<em> - ΔHf </em>CaCO₃(s)

ΔHrxn = -635.1kJ/mol + (-393.5kJ/mol) - (-1206.9kJ/mol)

<em>ΔHrxn = 178.3 kJ/mol</em>
