The half-reaction at the cathode in an electrochemical cell is given below.

Chemistry
1 answer:
olga55 [171]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

a) Anode:  

Cathode :  

b)  

c) As  , the reaction is spontaneous.

d)  

Explanation:

a) Here Ni undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Hydrogen undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

Anode:  

Cathode :  

b) The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a slat bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

c)  

Where both  are standard reduction potentials.

= +ve, reaction is spontaneous

= -ve, reaction is non spontaneous

= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Thus as  , the reaction is spontaneous.

d) The standard emf of a cell is related to Gibbs free energy by following relation:

= standard gibbs free energy

n= no of electrons gained or lost

F= faraday's constant

= standard emf

Thus value of Gibbs free energy is -48250 Joules.

In an experiment, students were given an unknown mineral. The unknown mineral was placed in 150 ml of water. Once in the water,
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

<h2>15 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

But from the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 165 - 150 = 15 mL

We have

density =  \frac{225}{15}  = 15 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>15 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

A sample of FeCl3 has a mass of 36.45.How many molecules would that be?
stira [4]

Answer: 1.35x 10²³ molecules FeCl3

Explanation: First find the number of moles for FeCl3 using its molar mass which is equal to 162.2 g FeCl3

Convert moles of FeCl3 to molecules by using the Avogadro's number.

You draw back on the piston of a pump and the volume of air in the pump doubles. Which of the following happens?
ohaa [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

We are given a piston of a pump, which means that there is no loss of the air. and there is a change in pressure and volume but temperature of the system remains constant.

As, the pressure of the system increases, there will be more number of particles. So, the number of collisions per unit area will increase.

\text{Number of collisions}\propto \text{Pressure}

But in the question, volume gets doubled. So, the pressure will be determined by using Boyle's Law:

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

V_2\rightarrow 2V_1

where, V_1\text{ and }V_2 are the initial and final volume respectively.

Putting the change in volume in above equation, we get:

P_2=\frac{1}{2V_1}\\\\P_2=\frac{1}{2}P_1

where, P_1\text{ and }P_2 are the initial and final pressure respectively.

As, the pressure is reduced to half of the initial pressure. So, the number of collisions per unit area will also be reduced to one-half.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
