The standard cell potential (E°cell) for the reaction below is +0.63 V. The cell potential for this reaction is ________ V when

tia_tia [17]

Answer : The cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

Explanation :

The given cell reactions is:

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode): $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode): $Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb$

First we have to calculate the cell potential for this reaction.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}$

where,

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = room temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.63 V

$E_{cell}$ = cell potential for the reaction = ?

$[Zn^{2+}]$ = 3.5 M

$[Pb^{2+}]$ = $2.0\times 10^{-4}M$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=(+0.63)-\frac{2.303\times (8.314)\times (298)}{2\times 96500}\log \frac{3.5}{2.0\times 10^{-4}}$

$E_{cell}=0.50V$

Therefore, the cell potential for this reaction is 0.50 V

You collect a sample of gases from an indoor pool area. The sample contains air and water vapor. The total pressure is 100.18 ki

Nikolay [14]

C. 96.82 kPa because to find the amount of pressure the air is causing you need to subtract the amount of pressure the water vapor is causing because the only two gasses making up the air in the pool area are air and water vapor.

This type of radiation is smallest and highest in energy

Pavel [41]

As your question is vague, I am assuming that you are talking Alpha, Beta and Gamma radiation. Out of these three radiation, Gamma radiation is the smallest in size compared to Alpha or Beta, but it has the highest energy levels. Gamma radiation is also known as photons. In other words, photons are light particles.

How is carbon monoxide formed in a car engine?

alexdok [17]

Carbon monoxide is produced in an engine when incomplete combustion happened. In a combustion engine intake valve, it combines the fuel and air (nitrogen and oxygen) and when spark plug ignites it pushes the piston downwards. After that piston will push itself upward and pushes the air that was generated by the combination of those components in the exhaust valve. This is a repeated cycle which keeps the engine running. In a perfect combustion process the air being released are carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen. But when an incorrect ratio of the combination of fuel and air in the engine is processed, carbon monoxide is being generated.
