Answer:</h3>
A. 1.4 V
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given the half reactions;
Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e → Ni(s)
Al(s) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3e
We are required to determine the cell potential of an electrochemical cell with the above half-reactions.
E°cell = E(red) - E(ox)
From the above reaction;
Ni²⁺ underwent reduction(gain of electrons) to form Ni
Al on the other hand underwent oxidation (loss of electrons) to form Al³⁺
The E.m.f of Ni/Ni²⁺ is -0.25 V and that of Al/Al³⁺ is -1.66 V
Therefore;
E°cell = -0.25 V - (-1.66 V)
= -0.250V + 1.66 V
= + 1.41 V
= + 1.4 V
Therefore, the cell potential will be +1.4 V
Explanation:
Entropy means the amount of randomness present within the molecules of the body of a substance.
Relation between entropy and microstate is as follows.
S = 
where, S = entropy
= Boltzmann constant
= number of microstates
This equation only holds good when the system is neither losing or gaining energy. And, in the given situation we assume that the system is neither gaining or losing energy.
Also, let us assume that = 1, and 
= 0.833
Therefore, change in entropy will be calculated as follows.
= 
= 
= 
or, = 
Thus, we can conclude that the entropy change for a particle in the given system is J/K particle.
Explanation:
The rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. Reaction rates can vary dramatically.
