A student wishes to determine the chloride ion concentration in a water sample at 25 °C using a galvanic cell constructed with a

graphite electrode and a half-cell of AgCl(s) + e⁻ → Ag(s) + Cl⁻(aq) E°red = 0.2223 V And a copper electrode with 0.500 M Cu²⁺ as the second half cell Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s) E°red= 0.337 V The measured cell potential when the water sample was placed into the silver side of the cell was 0.0925 V. What is the standard cell potential for this cell in V?

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

And a copper electrode with 0.500 M Cu²⁺ as the second half cell

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Cu(s) E°red= 0.337 V

The measured cell potential when the water sample was placed into the silver side of the cell was 0.0925 V.

A- What is the standard cell potential for this cell in V?

B- What is the value of the standard free energy (in kJ) for this reaction?

C- Write the balanced equation for the overall reaction in acidic solution?

D- And the measured cell potential is 0.0925, what is the concentration of chloride ions in the solution?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell = 0.337 V - 0.2223 V

E°cell = 0.1147 V

b) ΔG°cell = −nFE°cell

Where n=2 and F = 96500C

ΔG°cell =-(2 * 96500 *  0.1147 )

ΔG°cell =-22,137.1 J or -22.1371 KJ

c) 2Ag(s) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + Cu²⁺(aq) -----> 2AgCl(s) + Cu(s)

d) From Nernst Equation;

E= E°cell - 0.0592/n  log Q

0.0925  =  0.1147 - 0.0592/2 log 1/[0.500] [Cl⁻]^2

0.0925 - 0.1147 = - 0.0592/2 log 1/[0.500] [Cl⁻]^2

-0.0222 = -0.0296 log 1/[0.500] [Cl⁻]^2

-0.0222/-0.0296 = log 1/[0.500] [Cl⁻]^2

0.75 = log 1/[0.500] [Cl⁻]^2

Antilog (0.75) = 1/[0.500] [Cl⁻]^2

5.6234 * 0.500 =  [Cl⁻]^2

[Cl⁻] = √2.8117

[Cl⁻] = 1.68 M

Naily [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The energy to turn the ice into water:</em>

  • The energy that is required to change the state of ice into a liquid is obtained in the form of heat energy from the ambient temperature of the warm room.
  • Once this heat energy is absorbed, the individual molecules of ice gain kinetic energy and start vibrating faster.
  • Yet, the temperature of the ice remains constant until the ice reaches its melting point because this energy is first utilised to break all the bonds of the lattice structure of the ice.
  • After all the bonds are broken and all of the ice has changed into water, if more heat is provided again, then the temperature of the water will increase.

The answer is B.
You can rule C out because divergent means moving away. Rule out A because there is an oceanic and continental plate, not 2 of the same type. Rule D out for the same reason.
