Answer: 10.9 mol.
Explanation:
- To understand how to solve this problem, we must mention the reaction equation where water produced from PbO₂.
Pb + PbO₂ + 2H₂SO₄ → 2PbSO₄ + 2H₂O
- Now, it is a stichiometric oriented problem, that 1 mole of PbO₂ produces 2 moles of H₂O.
Using cross multiplication:
1.0 mole of PbO₂ → 2.0 moles of H₂O
5.43 moles of PbO₂ → ??? moles of water
The moles of water produced = (5.43 x 2.0) = 10.86 moles ≅ 10.9 moles.
The energy is transferred throughout the rest of the metal by the moving electrons. Metals are described as
malleable (can be beaten into sheets) and ductile (can be pulled out into wires). This is because of the ability of the atoms to roll over each other into new positions without breaking the metallic bond.
a) First, to get ΔG°rxn we have to use this formula when:
ΔG° = - RT ㏑ K
when ΔG° is Gibbs free energy
and R is the constant = 8.314 J/mol K
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25 °C+ 273 = 298 K
and when K = 4.4 x 10^-2
so, by substitution:
ΔG°= - 8.314 * 298 *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)
= -7739 J = -7.7 KJ
b) then, to get E° cell for a redox reaction we have to use this formula:
ΔE° Cell = (RT / nF) ㏑K
when R is a constant = 8.314 J/molK
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25°C + 273 = 298 K
and n = no.of moles of e- from the balanced redox reaction= 3
and F is Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol
and K = 4.4 x 10^-2
so, by substitution:
∴ ΔE° cell = (8.314 * 298 / 3* 96485) *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)
= - 2.7 x 10^-2 V
