<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

How many moles of oxygen will occupy a volume of 2.50 liters?
loris [4]
Data:
n (number of mols) = ? 
V (volume) = 2.50 Liters 
If: 
1 L → 1000 g
2.50 L → y

y = 1000*2.50 = 2500 g

Therefore:
m (mass) = 2500 g

Now:
Molar Mass (MM) of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Formula:
n =  \frac{m}{MM}

Solving:
n = \frac{m}{MM}
n = \frac{2500\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{16\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol}
\boxed{\boxed{n = 156.25\:mols}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Question 7 of 15
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: 0.4 moles

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of gas V = 11L

(since 1 liter = 1dm3

11L = 11dm3)

Temperature T = 25°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(25°C + 273 = 298K)

Pressure P = 0.868 atm

Number of moles N = ?

Note that Molar gas constant R is a constant with a value of 0.00821 atm dm3 K-1 mol-1

Then, apply ideal gas equation

pV = nRT

0.868atm x 11dm3 = n x (0.00821 atm dm3 K-1 mol-1 x 298K)

9.548 atm dm3 = n x 24.47atm dm3mol-1

n = (9.548 atm dm3 / 24.47atm dm3 mol-1)

n = 0.4 moles

Thus, there are 0.4 moles of the gas.
