Answer:

a) Ecell = 0.5123 V

b) Ecell =  0.4695 V

c) [Pb2 +] = 4.75 M

Explanation:

a)

The reaction at the cathode is represented as follows:

Cu2 + + 2e- -> Cu (s) Eocathode = 0.34 V

The reaction at the anode is equal to:

Pb (s) -> Pb2 + + 2e- Eoanode = -0.13 V

The number of moles of the electrons that are involved is equal to n = 2

Standard cell potential equals Eo = Eocathode - Eoanode = 0.34 V- (-0.13 V) = 0.47 V

 The initial cell potential can be calculated with the following formula:

Ecell = Eocell - - 0.0592 / n) log ([(Pb2 +)] / [(Cu2 +)]) = 0.47 - (0.0592 / 2) log (0.052 / 1.4) = 0.5123 V

b)

The reaction in the cell is equal to:

Cu2 + + Pb (s) -> Cu (s) + Pb2 +

The concentration of Cu2 that gives the exercise is equal 0.2 M

Therefore, the change in concentration for Cu2 + is equal to:

Cu2 + = 1.4 M - 0.2 M = 1.2 M

We use the formula from part a)

Ecell = Eocell - (0.0592 / n) log ([(Pb2 +)] / [(Cu2 +)]) = 0.47 - (0.0592 / 2) log (1,252 / 1.2) = 0.4695 V

c)

To find the concentration of Pb2 + when there is a potential change in the cell of 0.37 V, we must clear the concentration of Pb2 + from the following formula:

Eccell = Echocell - (0.0592 / n) log (([Pb2 +]) / ([Cu2 +]))

0.0296 log ([Pb2 +] / [Cu2 +]) = (Eocélula - Ecélula / 0.0296)

Clearing Pb2 +:

[Pb2 +] = 4.75 M

How many moles are in 272 grams of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

8 moles

Explanation:

When we are asked to convert from grams of a substance into moles, we have to use the substance's molar mass.

Meaning that for this problem, we'll <em>use the molar mass of hydrogen peroxide</em> (H₂O₂), as follows:

  • 272 g ÷ 34 g/mol = 8 mol

There are 8 moles in 272 grams of hydrogen peroxide.

An electrochemical cell has the following standard cell notation: Al(s) | Al3+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

a. Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c.  It's an electrolytic cell, because it's a nonspontaneous reaction.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

Explanation:

a. By the notation given, first is represented the oxidation reaction and then the reduction reaction, so they are:

Al(s) ⇄ Al⁺³(aq) + 3e⁻ (oxidation)

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Mg(s) (reduction)

b. The standard potential of the cell (ΔE°) is the reduction potential of the oxidation less the reduction potential of the reduction. The reduction potentials are:

Al(s) = -1.66 V

Mg(s) = -2.375 V

ΔE° = -1.66 - (-2.375)

ΔE° = + 0.715 V

c. It's an electrolytic cell.

A galvanic cell is spontaneous, so the cathode (reduction) has a higher E° than the cathode (oxidation). In this case, the oxidation reaction has a higher E°, so the reaction is nonspontaneous and it's necessary an external force to it happen, so it's an electrolytic cell.

d. 2Al(s) + 3Mg²⁺(aq) ⇄ 2Al⁺³(aq) + 3Mg(s)

The number of electrons must be the same, so the oxidation reaction is multiplied by 2, and the reduction reaction by 3.
