Answer:
Depending on the
value of
, the cell potential would be:
, using data from this particular question; or- approximately
, using data from the CRC handbooks.
Explanation:
In this galvanic cell, the following two reactions are going on:
- The conversion between
and
ions,
, and - The conversion between
and
ions,
.
Note that the standard reduction potential of
ions to
is higher than that of
ions to
. Alternatively, consider the fact that in the metal activity series, copper is more reactive than silver. Either way, the reaction is this cell will be spontaneous (and will generate a positive EMF) only if
ions are reduced while
is oxidized.
Therefore:
- The reduction reaction at the cathode will be:
. The standard cell potential of this reaction (according to this question) is
. According to the 2012 CRC handbook, that value will be approximately
.
- The oxidation at the anode will be:
. According to this question, this reaction in the opposite direction (
) has an electrode potential of
. When that reaction is inverted, the electrode potential will also be inverted. Therefore,
.
The cell potential is the sum of the electrode potentials at the cathode and at the anode:
.
Using data from the 1985 and 2012 CRC Handbook:
.
Answer:
6.67 moles
Explanation:
Given that:-
Moles of hydrogen gas produced = 10.0 moles
According the reaction shown below:-

3 moles of hydrogen gas are produced when 2 moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.
Also,
1 mole of hydrogen gas are produced when
moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.
So,
10.0 moles of hydrogen gas are produced when
moles of aluminium undergoes reaction.
<u>Moles of Al needed =
moles = 6.67 moles</u>
The protons in the atom determine what the atom is. It also determines the atomic number<span>. For example, hydrogen has one proton, so it the atomic number is one. Lithium has an atomic number of three because it has three protons.</span>
