For a reaction in a galvanic cell both ΔH° and ΔS° are positive. Which of the following statements is true?

irina [24]

Answer:

Option C is the correct statement.

ℰ°cell will increase with an increase in temperature

Explanation:

To understand this problem it is neccessarry to state the relatioonships between the various paramenters mentioned in the question. these parameters include ΔH°, ΔS°, ΔG° and ℰ°Cell.

ΔH°, ΔS°, ΔG° are related with the following equation;

ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°

From the above equation we see that ΔG° cannot be greater than 0 for all temperatures. At higher temperatures, ΔG° becomes a negative value.

A spontaneous redox reaction is characterized by a negative value of ΔG and a positive value of ℰ°Cell, consistent with our earlier discussions. When both reactants and products are in their standard states, the relationship between ΔG° and ℰ°Cell is as follows:

ΔG∘=−nFℰ°Cell where;

F = Faraday and n = number of moles

Since ΔG° becomes negative at higher temperatures, it means ℰ°Cell would increase as temperature increases.

The relationship between G, Ecell and temperature can be given as;

Increase in Temperature = Negative value of G = Increase in E

Due to the fact established above; options B, D and E are false. This means the correct option is option C - ℰ°cell will increase with an increase in temperature

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1) Word equation (given)

calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid) + oxygen (gas)

2) Chemical formulae of the reactant and products:

Calcium chlorate:

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

Calcium chloride

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

Oxygen

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

Phases

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) Chemical equation:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4) Balanced chemical equation:

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom Reactant side Product side

Ca 1 1

Cl 2 2

O 3×2 = 6 2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)
