Free-energy change, ΔG∘, is related to cell potential, E∘, by the equation ΔG∘=−nFE∘ where n is the number of moles of electrons

transferred and F=96,500C/(mol e−) is the Faraday constant. When E∘ is measured in volts, ΔG∘ must be in joules since 1 J=1 C⋅V. Part A Calculate the standard free-energy change at 25 ∘C for the following reaction: Mg(s)+Fe2+(aq)→Mg2+(aq)+Fe(s) Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

-372000 J or -372 KJ

Explanation:

We have the electrochemical reaction as;

Mg(s)  +  Fe^2+(aq)→  Mg^2+(aq)  +   Fe(s)

We must first calculate the E∘cell from;

E∘cathode -  E∘anode

E∘cathode = -0.44 V

E∘anode = -2.37 V

Hence;

E∘cell = -0.44 V -(-2.37 V)

E∘cell = 1.93 V

n= 2 since two electrons were transferred

F=96,500C/(mol e−)

ΔG∘=−nFE∘

ΔG∘= -( 2 * 96,500 * 1.93)

ΔG∘= -372000 J or -372 KJ

How are mass and weight related to gravitational force
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Mass is Universal and weight is tied to the strength of the gravitational force of the planet .

Explanation:

The reason is because without mass you have no weight witch means if you have a certain amount of mass you will have a certain weight .

The half-life of plutonium-238 is 87.7 years.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

263.1 is exactly three half-life, so the remaining portion is (1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2) of the original sample. That's 1/8 which is 12.5%

Which statement is true regarding methane and ammonia?
sukhopar [10]
The options for given question are as follow,

1) Methane molecules show hydrogen bonding. 
<span>2) Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>3) Methane has stronger hydrogen bonding than ammonia. </span>
<span>4) Both the compounds do not show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>5) Both the compounds have strong hydrogen bonding.
</span>
Answer:
            Correct answer is Option-2 (Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding).

Explanation:
                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed when a partial positive hydrogen atom attached to most electronegative atom of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative element of another molecule. So, in Ammonia hydrogen gets partial positive charge as nitrogen is highly electronegative. While the C-H bond in Methane is non-polar and fails to form hydrogen bond interactions.

An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity of 3.1.. Which phase best describes
eduard
Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself. When a chlorine atom covalently bonds to another chlorine atom, the shared electron pair is shared equally. The electron density that comprises the covalent bond is located halfway between the two atoms.

But what happens when the two atoms involved in a bond aren’t the same? The two positively charged nuclei have different attractive forces; they “pull” on the electron pair to different degrees. The end result is that the electron pair is shifted toward one atom.

ATTRACTING ELECTRONS: ELECTRONEGATIVITIES

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The following figure shows the electronegativity values of the various elements below each element symbol on the periodic table. With a few exceptions, the electronegativities increase, from left to right, in a period, and decrease, from top to bottom, in a family.

Electronegativities give information about what will happen to the bonding pair of electrons when two atoms bond. A bond in which the electron pair is equally shared is called a nonpolar covalent bond. You have a nonpolar covalent bond anytime the two atoms involved in the bond are the same or anytime the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond is very small.



Now consider hydrogen chloride (HCl). Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond. The atom that more strongly attracts the bonding electron pair is slightly more negative, while the other atom is slightly more positive. The larger the difference in the electronegativities, the more negative and positive the atoms become.

Now look at a case in which the two atoms have extremely different electronegativities — sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride is ionically bonded. An electron has transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium has an electronegativity of 1.0, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0.

That’s an electronegativity difference of 2.0 (3.0 – 1.0), making the bond between the two atoms very, very polar. In fact, the electronegativity difference provides another way of predicting the kind of bond that will form between two elements, as indicated in the following table.
