<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

weeeeeb [17]

If the coulombs are supplied at 1.44 V, then 4.766 × 10¹¹ joules are produced.

(a) The reaction is

2H₂O + 2e⁻ → H₂ + 2OH⁻

According to the reaction, 2 moles of electrons flow per mole of reaction,

(b) Given

T = 25°C

Change Celsius into Kelvin

T = 25°C

   = (25 + 273 ) K

   = 298 K

<h3>What is Ideal Gas Law ?</h3>

It is expressed as

PV = nRT

Hence ,

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

   = \frac{(12)(3.5.10^{6} )}{(0.082057)(298)}

   = 1.7176 ×10⁶ mole

Now, From the given reaction we can say that ,1 mole of H₂  is produced by 2 moles of electron

Hence, 1.7176 × 10⁶ mole of H₂ is produced by

= 2 × 1.7176 × 10⁶ moles of  electron

= 3.435 ×10⁶ moles of electron

We know that

charge = moles of electron × F

          =  (3.435 ×10⁶ × 96500) C

           =  3.31 × 10¹¹ C

(c) We know that,

Voltage = \frac{energy}{charge}  =  \frac{J}{C}

1.44 V = \frac{energy}{3.31 . 10^{11} }

Energy = 1.44 V × 3.31 × 10¹¹ C

            =  4.766 × 10¹¹ Joules

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that, coulombs are supplied at 1.44 V, then 4.766 × 10¹¹ joules are produced.

How many grams are in 1 mole of Pb3(PO4)4?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

In 1 mol of Pb₃(PO₄)₄ occupies 1001.48 grams

Explanation:

This compound is the lead (IV) phosphate.

Grams that occupy 1 mole, means the molar mass of the compound

Pb = 207.2  .3 = 621.6 g/m

P = 30.97 .4 = 123.88 g/m

O = (16 .  4) . 4 = 256 g/m

621.6 g/m + 123.88 g/m + 256 g/m = 1001.48 g/m

77julia77 [94]
1. 3.0% ----> 3.0 kg fat= 100 kg body weigh
also remember that 1 kg= 2.20 lbs

65 kg  \frac{3.0 kg}{100 kg} x  \frac{2.20 lb}{1 kg} = 4.29 lbs

2. 0.94 g/mL----> 0.94 grams= 1 mL
1 Liters= 1000 mL
1kg= 1000 grams

3 Liters  \frac{1000 mL}{1 L} x   \frac{0.94 grams}{1 mL} x  \frac{1 kg}{1000 g} x   \frac{2.20 lbs}{1 kg}  = 6.20 lbs
