Answer:
D. Ni²⁺
Explanation:
We know at once that the answer cannot be A or C, because Ni and Cu are already in their lowest oxidation states.
The correct answer must be either B or D.
An electrolytic cell is the opposite of a galvanic cell. In the former, the reaction proceeds spontaneously. In the latter, you must force the reaction to occur.
One strategy to solve this problem is:
- Look up the standard reduction potentials for the half reaction·
- Figure out the spontaneous direction.
- Write the equation in the reverse direction.
1. Standard reduction potentials
E°/V
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; 0.3419
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257
2. Galvanic Cell
We reverse the direction of the more negative half cell and add.
<u>E°/V
</u>
Ni ⟶ Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻; 0.257
<u>Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu; </u> 0.3419
Ni + Cu²⁺ ⟶ Cu + Ni²⁺; 0.599
This is the spontaneous direction.
Cu²⁺ is reduced to Cu.
3. Electrochemical cell
<u>E°/V</u>
Ni²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni; -0.257
<u>Cu ⟶ Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻; </u> <u>-0.3419</u>
Cu + Ni²⁺ ⟶ Ni + Cu²⁺; -0.599
This is the non-spontaneous direction.
Ni²⁺ is reduced to Ni in the electrolytic cell.
One
Balance the Equation.
This has been done for you or it is given. Anyway this step is finished, but it must always be done.
Two
Find the molar mass of C6H12O6
6C = 6 * 12 = 72
12H = 12*1 = 12
CO = 6 * 16 = 96
Mol Mass = 180 grams / mol
Three
Find the mols of C6H12O6
n = ???
Molar Mass = 180 grams / mol
given mass = 13.2 grams.
n = given mass / molar mass
n = 13.2 / 180
n = 0.07333333 mols.
Four
Find the mols CO2
1 mol C6H12O6 will produce 6 mols CO2
0.0733333 mols will produce x
1/0.073333 = 6/x Cross multiply
x = 0.073333 * 6
x = 0.4399 moles.
Five
Find the volume given the conditions for temperature and pressure are STP conditions.
PV = nRT
R = 0.082057
n = 0.43999
P = 1 atmosphere
T = 0 + 273 = 273
V = ???
1 * V = 0.43999 * 082057 * 273
V = 10.2 L
