The Nernst equation allows us to predict the cell potential for voltaic cells under conditions other than the standard conditions of 1M, 1 atm, 25°C. The effects of different temperatures and concentrations may be tracked in terms of the Gibbs energy change ΔG. This free energy change depends upon the temperature & concentrations according to ΔG = ΔG° + RTInQ where ΔG° is the free energy change under conditions and Q is the thermodynamic reaction quotient. The free energy change is related to the cell potential Ecell by ΔG= nFEcell
so for non-standard conditions
-nFEcell = -nFE°cell + RT InQ
or
Ecell = E°cell - RT/nF (InQ)
which is called Nernst equation.
Answer:
β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal.
Explanation:
When acetaldehyde is treated with dil.NaOH it undergoes self condensation as it contains alpha-hydrogen atom in its compound forming β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal. This compound upon further heating will eliminate a molecule of water forming aldol condensation product namely Crotonaldehyde Or But-2-en-al. see the diagram attached.
Sodium Diacetate is a compound with the formula of NaH2. it is a salt of acetic acid. it is a colorless liquid that is used in seasonings and as an antimicrobial agent.
Answer:
0.38
Explanation:
Molar mass of thiophene= 84g/mol
Mass of thiophene = 37g
Number of moles= 37/84= 0.44 moles
Molar mass of heptane= 100 g/mol
Mass of heptane = 72g
Number of moles = 72/100= 0.72 moles
Total number of moles= 0.44 + 0.72= 1.16 moles
mole fraction of thiophene = 0.44/1.16= 0.38
