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

1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of magnesium phosphide from its elements, including the word “energy”
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy

Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2

Explanation:

The equation for the formation of magnesium phosphide from its elements is;

3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy

Hence we can see that three moles of magnesium atoms combines with two moles of phosphorus atoms to yield one mole of magnesium phosphide. The equation written above is the balanced chemical reaction equation for the formation of the magnesium phosphide.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction K(eq) will be given by;

Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2

What is the chemical formula for sodium sulfate?
yan [13]

Hello!

When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.

Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.

Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.

Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.
