Use the Nernst equation to calculate the concentration of the unknown solution. Base this on your experimental voltage of 1.074

V for the galvanic cell with this unknown combined with your copper half-cell. Use the unrounded [Cu2+] value of .050179 M and the unrounded value of the constants as listed in the file link near the top of this assignment to avoid round-off error.

Answer:

0.3793 M

Explanation:

The unknown metal is zinc. So the equation of the reaction is;

Zn(s) + Cu^2+(aq) -------> Zn^2+(aq) + Cu(s)

From Nernst equation;

E = E° - 0.0592/n log Q

[Cu2+] = 0.050179 M

n = 2

[Zn^2+] = ?

E = 1.074 V

E° = 0.34 - (-0.76) = 1.1 V

Substituting values;

1.074  = 1.1 - 0.0592/2 log [Zn^2+]/0.050179

1.074 - 1.1 = - 0.0592/2 log [Zn^2+]/0.050179

-0.026 = -0.0296  log [Zn^2+]/0.050179

-0.026/-0.0296 = log [Zn^2+]/0.050179

0.8784 =log [Zn^2+]/0.050179

Antilog(0.8784) = [Zn^2+]/0.050179

7.558 =  [Zn^2+]/0.050179

[Zn^2+] = 7.558 * 0.050179

[Zn^2+] = 0.3793 M

What happens to raisins or other dried fruits in breakfast cereals when you pour milk over them? why?
viktelen [127]
<span>Dried fruits and raisins get terribly soggy after being drenched in milk for a long period of time. They act like a sponge, absorbing all of the milk up making them wet and "soggy". I prefer them to be like that when I eat my cereal in the morning.</span>

What observation about light supported Einstein's theory?
Llana [10]

In 1905 Albert Einstein had proposed a solution to the problem of observations made on the behaviour of light having characteristics of both wave and particle theory. From work of Plank on emission of light from hot bodies, Einstein suggested that light is composed of tiny particles called <span>photons, </span>and each photon has energy.

Light theory branches in to the physics of <span>quantum mechanics, </span>which was conceptualised in the twentieth century. Quantum mechanics deals with behaviour of nature on the atomic scale or smaller.

As a result of quantum mechanics, this gave the proof of the dual nature of light and therefore not a contradiction.
