xConsider the following reduction potentials: Cu2+ + 2e– Cu E° = 0.339 V Pb2+ + 2e– Pb E° = –0.130 V For a galvanic cell employi

slega [8]

Answer:

Approximately $\rm 90\; kJ$ .

Explanation:

Cathode is where reduction takes place and anode is where oxidation takes place. The potential of a electrochemical reaction ( $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ ) is equal to

$E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) = E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) - E^{\circ}(\text{anode})$ .

There are two half-reactions in this question. $\rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu$ and $\rm Pb^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Pb$ . Either could be the cathode (while the other acts as the anode.) However, for the reaction to be spontaneous, the value of $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ should be positive.

In this case, $E^{\circ}(\text{cell})$ is positive only if $\rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu$ is the reaction takes place at the cathode. The net reaction would be

$\rm Cu^{2+} + Pb \to Cu + Pb^{2+}$ .

Its cell potential would be equal to $0.339 - (-0.130) = \rm 0.469\; V$ .

The maximum amount of electrical energy possible (under standard conditions) is equal to the free energy of this reaction:

$\Delta G^{\circ} = n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})$ ,

where

$n$ is the number moles of electrons transferred for each mole of the reaction. In this case the value of $n$ is $2$ as in the half-reactions.
$F$ is Faraday's Constant (approximately $96485.33212\; \rm C \cdot mol^{-1}$ .)

$\begin{aligned}\Delta G^{\circ} &= n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})\cr &= 2\times 96485.33212 \times (0.339 - (-0.130)) \cr &\approx 9.0 \times 10^{4} \; \rm J \cr &= 90\; \rm kJ\end{aligned}$ .

An electric bulb is marked 40volts ,230w another bulb is marked 40w,110v

Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. The ratio of their resistance is 2783:64

b. The ratio of their energy is 4:23

c. The charge on the first bulb is 5.75 C

The charge on the second bulb is $0.\overline {36}$ C

Explanation:

The voltage on one of the electric bulbs, V₁ = 40 volts

The power rating of the bulb, P₁ = 230 w

The voltage on the other electric bulbs, V₂ = 110 volts

The power rating of the bulb, P₂ = 40 w

a. The power is given by the formula, P = I·V = V²/R

Therefore, R = V²/P

For the first bulb, the resistance, R₁ = 40²/230 ≈ 6.96

The resistance of the second bulb, R₂ = 110²/40

The ratio of their resistance, R₂/R₁ = (110²/40)/(40²/230) = 2783/64

∴ The ratio of their resistance, R₂:R₁ = 2783:64

b. The energy of a bulb, E = t × P

Where;

t = The time in which the bulb is powered on

∴ The energy of the first bulb, E₁ = 230 w × t

The energy of the second bulb, E₂ = 40 w × t

The ratio of their energy, E₂/E₁ = (40 w × t)/(230 w × t) = 4/23

∴ The ratio of their energy, E₂:E₁ = 4:23

c. The charge on a bulb, 'Q', is given by the formula, Q = I × t

Where;

I = The current flowing through the bulb

From P = I·V, we get;

I = P/V

For the first bulb, the current, I = 230 w/40 V = 5.75 amperes

The charge on the first bulb per second (t = 1) is therefore;

Q₁ = 5.75 A × 1 s = 5.75 C

The charge on the first bulb, Q₁ = 5.75 C

Similarly, the charge on the second bulb, Q₂ = (40 W/110 V) × 1 s = $0.\overline {36}$ C

The charge on the second bulb, Q₂ = $0.\overline {36}$ C.

d. The question has left out parts
