Answer:

pH ˜ 1.39

Explanation:

solution

given the cell equation as follows:

Pt | H2 (1 atm); H+ (? M) || Hg2Cl2(s); Cl- (1 M) | Hg

half of the reactions are

2H+ + 2 e- --> H2 (E0 = 0.00 V )

Hg2Cl2 + 2 e- --> 2Hg + 2Cl- (E0 = 0.268 V)

E0 cell = E0 cathode -E0 anode

= 0.268 V -0.00V ( the more of positive is cathode while the smaller is anode )

= 0.268V

knowing that  Ecell = E0 cell - 0.0592 V/n) log [oxd/red]

0.35 V = 0.268V -(0.0592V/2) log [H+ ]2 /[Cl- ]

0.35V-0.268V =- 0.0296V*2 log [H+ ]/[1.0]

0.082V = -0.0592V log [H+ ]

so 0.082V /0.0592V = - log [H+ ]

1.385 = - log [H+ ]

1.385 = pH (since pH = - log [H+ ] )

In conclusion, pH ˜ 1.39

Answer:

1.39

Explanation:

[Hg2Cl2]= 1M

[H^+] = ????

E°cell= 0.35V

E= 0.268 V

Therefore E for the reaction must -0.082 V

n= 2 moles of electrons

From Nernst Equation:

E= E°cell- 0.0592/n log [Red]/[Ox]

0.0268= 0.35- 0.0592/2 log 1/[Ox]^2

-0.082= -0.0296 log 1/[Ox]^2

log 1/[Ox]^2= 0.082/0.0296

log 1/[Ox]^2= 2.77

1/[Ox]^2=Antilog (2.77)

[Ox]^2=1.698×10^-3

[Ox] = 0.0412 M

But pH= -log [H^+]= -log(0.0412)= 1.385

Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Sodium metal and an aqueous solution of m
Setler [38]

Answer:2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.

This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from MgI_2.

2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. Thus the equation is balanced.

Hc2h3o2(aq)+h2o(l)⇌h3o+(aq)+c2h3o−2(aq) kc=1.8×10−5 at 25∘c part a if a solution initially contains 0.260 m hc2h3o2, what is the
Cloud [144]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ at 25^oC is, 2.154\times 10^{-3}m.

Solution : Given,

Equilibrium constant, K_c=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Initial concentration of HC_2H_3O_2 = 0.260 m

Let, the 'x' mol/L of H_3O^+ are formed and at same time 'x' mol/L of HC_2H_3O_2 are also formed.

The equilibrium reaction is,

                  HC_2H_3O_2(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons H_3O^+(aq)+C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)

Initially                0.260 m                       0                 0

At equilibrium    (0.260 - x)                     x                 x

The expression for equilibrium constant for a given reaction is,

K_c=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_2H_3O_2^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)(x)}{(0.260-x)}

By rearranging the terms, we get the value of 'x'.

x=2.154\times 10^{-3}m

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ at 25^oC is, 2.154\times 10^{-3}m.
