Answer:
A. fluorine, 1.79 moles
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of carbon = 87.7g
Mass of fluorine gas = 136g
Unknown:
The limiting reactant and the maximum amount of moles of carbon tetrafluoride that can be produced = ?
Solution:
Equation of the reaction:
C + 2F₂ → CF₄
let us find the number of the moles the given species;
Number of moles =
C; molar mass = 12;
Number of moles = = 7.31moles
F; molar mass = 2(19) = 38g/mol
Number of moles = = 3.58moles
So;
From the give reaction:
1 mole of C requires 2 moles of F₂
7.31 moles of C will then require 2 x 7.31 moles of F₂ = 14.62moles
But we have 3.58 moles of the F₂;
Therefore, the reactant in short supply is F₂ and it is the limiting reactant;
So;
2 moles of F₂ will produce mole of CF₄
3.58 moles of F₂ will then produce = 1.79moles of CF₄
Answer : The for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.
Solution :
The balanced cell reaction will be,
Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.
The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :
Oxidation :
Reduction :
Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.
Formula used :
where,
= Gibbs free energy = ?
n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2
F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole
= standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.
Therefore, the for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.
