An electrochemical cell is composed of pure nickel and pure iron electrodes immersed in solutions of their divalent ions at room

temperature (25°C). If the concentrations of Ni2+ and Fe2+ ions are 0.002 M and 0.40 M, respectively, what voltage is generated at 25°C? (The respective standard reduction potentials for Ni and Fe are −0.250 V and −0.440 V.)

Answer:

0.758 V.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, case when we include the effect of concentration on an electrochemical cell, we need to consider the Nerst equation at 25 °C:

E=E\°-\frac{0.0591}{n} log(Q)

Whereas n stands for the number of moles of transferred electrons and Q the reaction quotient relating the concentration of the oxidized species over the concentration of the reduced species. In such a way, we can write the undergoing half-reactions in the cell, considering the iron's one is reversed because it has the most positive standard potential so it tends to reduction:

Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe^0\ \ \ E\°=0.440V\\\\Ni^0\rightarrow Ni^{2+}+2e^-\ \ \ E\°=-0.250V

It means that the concentration of the oxidized species is 0.002 M (that of nickel), that of the reduced species is 0.40 M and there are two moles of transferred electrons; therefore, the generated potential turns out:

E=(0.440V+0.250V)-\frac{0.0591}{2} log(\frac{0.002M}{0.40M} )\\\\E=0.758V

Beat regards!

Which choice can be a solid, liquid, or a gas?
Katena32 [7]

I believe that your option C would be the correct answer. We know that water can turn to a solid materail because during cold temperatures, water turns to ice.

We know that water can turn to gas, as water can evaporate.

And also, we know that water is obviosly a liquid.

Therefore, Option C would be your answer.
