Given the reaction _K(s) +_ Cl2(g) → _KCl(s) what is the amount of K, in grams, needed to completely react with 2 moles of Cl2(g

)?

Answer:

156.4g K

Explanation:

I'm not sure if it is correct but I think it should be this

What do we know so far?: 2K + 1Cl2 -> 2KCl, 2 mol of Cl2

What are we looking for?: #g of K

What is the ratio of K to Cl2?: 2:1

Set up equation: 2molCl2 x $\frac{2mol K}{1 mol Cl2}$

Cancel unwanted units: 2 x $\frac{2mol K}{1}$

Answer we got: 2 x 2mol K = 4mol K

Converting moles to grams: 4 x 39.1 (molar mass of K) = 156.4g K

Combine the two half-reactions that give the spontaneous cell reaction with the smallest E∘. Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s) E∘=−0.45V I2(s)+

Iteru [2.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The spontaneous cell reaction having smallest $E^o$ is $I_2+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2I^-$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

$E^o_{(Fe^{2+}/Fe)}=-0.45V\\E^o_{(I_2/I^-)}=0.54V\\E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, iodine will always undergo reduction reaction, then copper and then iron.

The equation used to calculate electrode potential of the cell is:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{oxidation}+E^o_{reduction}$

The combination of the cell reactions follows:

<u>Case 1:</u>

Here, iodine is getting reduced and iron is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$I_2(s)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2I^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=0.45V$

Reduction half reaction: $I_2(s)+2e^-\rightarrow 2I_-(aq.)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.54V$

$E^o_{cell}=0.45+0.54=0.99V$

Thus, this cell will not give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

<u>Case 2:</u>

Here, iodine is getting reduced and copper is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$I_2(s)+Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2I^-(aq.)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=-0.34V$

Reduction half reaction: $I_2(s)+2e^-\rightarrow 2I_-(aq.)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.54V$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.34+0.54=0.20V$

Thus, this cell will give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

<u>Case 3:</u>

Here, copper is getting reduced and iron is getting oxidized.

The cell equation follows:

$Cu^{2+}(aq.)+Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+Cu(s)$

Oxidation half reaction: $Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{oxidation}=0.45V$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s)$ $E^o_{reduction}=0.34V$

$E^o_{cell}=0.45+0.34=0.79V$

Thus, this cell will not give the spontaneous cell reaction with smallest $E^o_{cell}$

Hence, the spontaneous cell reaction having smallest $E^o$ is $I_2+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2I^-$

An element with 14 electrons has a mass number 32. how many protons does this element have?

Klio2033 [76]

An atom always has the same number of protons and electrons, so it has 14 electrons.
