Be sure to answer all parts. A concentration cell consists of two Sn/Sn2+ half-cells. The electrolyte in compartment A is 0.23 M

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Part A. The half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode

Part B. 0.017V

Explanation:

Part A

The electrons must go from the anode to the cathode. At the anode oxidation takes place, and at the cathode a reduction, so the flow of electrons must go from the less concentrated solution to the most one (at oxidation the concentration intends to increase, and at the reduction, the concentration intends to decrease).

So, the half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode.

Part B

By the Nersnt equation:

E°cell = E° - (0.0592/n)*log[anode]/[cathode]

Where n is the number of electrons being changed in the reaction, in this case, n = 2 (Sn goes from S⁺²). Because the half-reactions are the same, the reduction potential of the anode is equal to the cathode, and E° = 0 V.

E°cell = 0 - (0.0592/2)*log(0.23/0.87)

E°cell = 0.017V

Excess magnesium reacts with 165.0 grams of hydrochloric acid in a single displacement reaction.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas produced will be approximately 50.7 liters under STP.

Explanation:

Relative atomic mass data from a modern periodic table:

H: 1.008;
Cl: 35.45.

Magnesium is a reactive metal. It reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce

Hydrogen gas $\rm H_2$ , and
Magnesium chloride, which is a salt.

The chemical equation will be something like

$\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl \;(aq)\to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ [\text{Formula of the Salt}]$ ,

where the coefficients and the formula of the salt are to be found.

To determine the number of moles of $\rm H_2$ that will be produced, first find the formula of the salt, magnesium chloride.

Magnesium is a group 2 metal. The oxidation state of magnesium in compounds tends to be +2.

On the other hand, the charge on each chloride ion is -1. Each magnesium ion needs to pair up with two chloride ions for the charge to balance in the salt, magnesium chloride. The formula for the salt will be $\rm MgCl_2$ .

$\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ ?\;MgCl_2\;(aq)$ .

Balance the equation. $\rm MgCl_2$ contains the largest number of atoms among all species in this reaction. Start by setting its coefficient to 1.

$\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ {\bf 1\;MgCl_2}\;(aq)$ .

The number of $\rm Mg$ and $\rm Cl$ atoms shall be the same on both sides. Therefore

$\rm {\bf 1\;Mg}\;(s) + {\bf 2\;HCl}\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ {1\;\underset{\wedge}{Mg}\underset{\wedge}{Cl_2}}\;(aq)$ .

The number of $\rm H$ atoms shall also conserve. Hence the equation:

$\rm {1\;Mg}\;(s) + {2\;\underset{\wedge}{H}Cl}\;(aq) \to {\bf 1\;H_2 \;(g)}+ {1\;MgCl_2}\;(aq)$ .

How many moles of HCl are available?

$M(\rm HCl) = 1.008 + 35.45 = 36.458\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$\displaystyle n({\rm HCl}) = \frac{m(\text{HCl})}{M(\text{HCl})} = \rm \frac{165.0\;g}{36.458\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 4.52576\;mol$ .

How many moles of Hydrogen gas will be produced?

Refer to the balanced chemical equation, the coefficient in front of $\rm HCl$ is 2 while the coefficient in front of $\rm H_2$ is 1. In other words, it will take two moles of $\rm HCl$ to produce one mole of $\rm H_2$ . $\rm 4.52576\;mol$ of $\rm HCl$ will produce only one half as much $\rm H_2$ .

Alternatively, consider the ratio between the coefficient in front of $\rm H_2$ and $\rm HCl$ is:

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\text{H}_2)}{n(\text{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

$\displaystyle n(\text{H}_2) = n(\text{HCl})\cdot \frac{n(\text{H}_2)}{n(\text{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}\;n(\text{HCl}) = \rm \frac{1}{2}\times 4.52576\;mol = 2.26288\;mol$ .

What will be the volume of that many hydrogen gas?

One mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters under STP (where the pressure is 1 atm.) On certain textbook where STP is defined as $\rm 1.00\times 10^{5}\;Pa$ , that volume will be 22.7 liters.

$V(\text{H}_2) = \rm 2.26288\;mol\times 22.4\;L\cdot mol^{-1} = 50.69\; L$ , or

$V(\text{H}_2) = \rm 2.26288\;mol\times 22.7\;L\cdot mol^{-1} = 51.37\; L$ .

The value "165.0 grams" from the question comes with four significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that in calculations. Round the final result to four significant figures.

How Is disaccharide is hydrolyzed into monosaccharides

PolarNik [594]

The disaccharides are broken down into monosaccharides by enzymes called maltases, sucrases, and lactases, which are also present in the brush border of the small intestinal wall. Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose.
