The asthenosphere is more viscous and thick than the mesosphere TRUE OR FALSE?

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Alkali metals are among the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and have an oxidation state of +1. ... All these characteristics can be attributed to these elements' large atomic radii and weak metallic bonding.

Why are objects in the solar system different from each other

They are different because they formed at different distances from the sun.

A voltaic cell consists of a Zn>Zn2+ half-cell and a Ni>Ni2+ half-cell at 25 °C. The initial concentrations of Ni2+ and Zn

nlexa [21]

Answer :

(a) The initial cell potential is, 0.53 V

(b) The cell potential when the concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ has fallen to 0.500 M is, 0.52 V

(c) The concentrations of $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ when the cell potential falls to 0.45 V are, 0.01 M and 1.59 M

Explanation :

The values of standard reduction electrode potential of the cell are:

$E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}=-0.23V$

$E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V$

From this we conclude that, the zinc (Zn) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons and thus act as anode. Nickel (Ni) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$ $E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V$

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : $Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni$ $E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}=-0.23V$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Zn(s)+Ni^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Ni(s)$

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o=E^o_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}-E^o_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}$

$E^o=(-0.23V)-(-0.76V)=0.53V$

(a) Now we have to calculate the cell potential.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = emf of the cell = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.100)}{(1.50)}$

$E_{cell}=0.49V$

(b) Now we have to calculate the cell potential when the concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ has fallen to 0.500 M.

New concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ = 1.50 - x = 0.500

x = 1 M

New concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ = 0.100 + x = 0.100 + 1 = 1.1 M

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}]}$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(1.1)}{(0.500)}$

$E_{cell}=0.52V$

(c) Now we have to calculate the concentrations of $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ when the cell potential falls to 0.45 V.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}+x]}{[Ni^{2+}-x]}$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$0.45=0.53-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.100+x)}{(1.50-x)}$

$x=1.49M$

The concentration of $Ni^{2+}$ = 1.50 - x = 1.50 - 1.49 = 0.01 M

The concentration of $Zn^{2+}$ = 0.100 + x = 0.100 + 1.49 = 1.59 M

Which atom is larger Na or K ? explain why .

emmainna [20.7K]

K is larger because atomic size generally increases as you move from top to bottom on a periodic table. and K is lower than Na therefore making it bigger
