<u>Answer:</u> The potential of the given cell is 1.551 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical cell follows:

Zn(s)|Zn^{2+}(0.125M)||Ag^{+}(0.240M)|Ag(s)

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(0.125M)+2e^-;E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.762V

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> Ag^{+}(0.240M)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag}=0.799V       ( × 2)

<u>Net cell reaction:</u> Zn(s)+2Ag^{+}(0.240M)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(0.125M)+2Ag(s)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.762)=1.561V

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = ? V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.561 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

[Zn^{2+}]=0.125M

[Ag^{+}]=0.240M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=1.561-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{(0.125)}{(0.240)^2})

E_{cell}=1.551V

Hence, the potential of the given cell is 1.551 V

In a Lewis diagram for methane (CH4), which atom or atoms is inside, or central?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

B carbon

Explanation

Lewis structure or dot structure is an easy way to get the bonding details of atoms in a molecule. If we talk about methane molecule carbon is central atom with four electrons that are bonded to four hydrogen atoms and each bond is single covalent bond.

Please see attached figure,

Hope it helps!
