Answer:

2.71 V

Explanation:

Usually in the cell notation, the left side shows oxidation. So,  

Oxidation half reaction:

Mg_{(s)}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}_{(aq)}+2e^-    E^o_{ox}=-E^o_{red}=-(-2.37\ V)=2.37\ V

Reduction half reaction:

Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu_{(s)}    E^o_{red}=0.34\ V

Overall reaction:

Mg_{(s)}+Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}\rightarrow Mg^{2+}_{(aq)}+Cu_{(s)}

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{ox}+E^o_{red}= (2.37+0.34)\ V=2.71\ V

Adding solvent or removing solute from a soltuion is called __________, and a solution is said to be _______________ if it has m
xenn [34]
Adding solvent or removing solute from a solution is called diluting. And a solution is said to be concentrated if it has more solute. The opposite of diluting is called concentrating. The measure of the amount of solute in a solution is expressed in concentration.

Given the following equation: 2K + Cl2 -> 2KCl How many grams of KCl is produced from 4.00 g of K and excess Cl2?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

  Complete equation of the reaction:

              2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

        Number of moles of K =  \frac{4}{39} = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

   2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

 Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

   Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g

An ideal gas contained in a piston-cylinder assembly is compressed isothermally in an internally reversible process.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a) \Delta S

b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).

Explanation:

a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:

\delta S=\frac{\delta Q}{T}

\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}

The energy balance:

\delta U=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W

If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:

0=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W

\delta Q= \delta W

Q= W

The work:

W=\int_{V1}^{V2}P*dV

If it is an ideal gas:

P=\frac{n*R*T}{V}

W=\int_{V1}^{V2}\frac{n*R*T}{V}*dV

Solving:

W=n*R*T*ln(V2/V1)

Replacing:

\Delta S=\frac{n*R*T*ln(V2/V1)}{T}

\Delta S=n*R*ln(V2/V1)}

Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:

\Delta S

b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.
