Answer:
Similarities: both state the mass of chemical species and they have the same numerical value
Differences: molecular mass refers to one single molecule and molar mass refers to one mole of a molecule
Explanation:
The molecular mass is the value of the mass of each molecule and it is measured in mass units (u). It is calculated adding the mass of each atom of the molecule.
The molar mass is the value of the mass of one mole of molecules, which means the mass of 6.022140857 × 10²³ molecules. The unit is g/mol.
For example, we can consider the methane molecule, which has the chemical formula of CH₄:
Molecular mass CH₄ = C mass + 4 x (H mass)
Molecular mass CH₄ = 12.01 + 4 x (1.01)
Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 u
Now to calculate the molar mass we multiply the value of the molecular mass by the Avogadro number and convert the units to g/mol:
Molar mass CH₄: 16.05 x x 6.022140857 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 g / mol
The cell notation is:
here in cell notation the left side represent the anodic half cell where right side represents the cathodic half cell
in anodic half cell : oxidation takes place [loss of electrons]
in cathodic half cell: reduction takes place [gain of electrons]
1) this is a galvanic cell
2) the standard potential of cell will be obtained by subtracting the standard reduction potential of anode from cathode
Therefore
3) as the value of emf is positive the reaction will be spontaneous as the free energy change of reaction will be negative
Δ
As reaction is spontaneous and there will be conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy it is a galvanic cell.
