Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is:

$2Br^- (aq) + I_2(s) Br_2(l) + 2I^- (aq)$

$E^ocell=oxidation potential of anode + reduction potential of cathode\\$

The relation between Eo cell and Keq is shown below:

$deltaG=-RTlnK_e_q\\delta=-nFE^o cell\\=>nFE^o cell=RTlnK_e_q\\lnK_e_q=\frac{nF}{RT} E^o cell$

The value of Eo cell is:

Br- undergoes oxidation and I2 undergoes reduction.

Reduction takes place at cathode.

Oxidation takes place at anode.

Hence,

$E^ocell= (-1.07+0.53)V\\=-0.54V$

F=96485 C/mol

n=2 mol

R=8.314 J.K-1.mol-1

T=298K

Substitute all these values in the above formula:

$ln K_e_q=\frac{2mol* 96485 C/mol}{8.314 J.K^-^1.mol^-^1x298K} \\\\lnK_e_q=77.8\\K_e_q=e^7^7^.^8\\=>K_e_q=6.13x10^3^3$

Answer:

Keq=6.13x10^33

If the crucible is contaminated with the volatile impurities. While heating, the impurity is then burned off and removed. Descri

Art [367]

Answer:

The presence of the contaminant increases the total mass.

And on continuous heating to remove the volatile impurities, the hydrated salt gets overheated and the anhydrous salt gets thermally decomposed thereby producing a gas.

The heating leads to the formation or release of a gas which leads to loss of a higher percentage of mass from the compound making the mass percent of water in the hydrated salt too high and the mass of the anhydrous salt remaining in the crucible too low.

Hydrated Salt ⇒ Anhydrous salt + Water hydration
