Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0

.340 V
Chemistry

Maru [420]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative,  the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity  because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .

So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:

Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V =  5.06 V

Equally valid is to write the equation as:

Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species

These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.

Consider the reaction of peroxydisulfate ion (S2O2−8) with iodide ion (I−) in aqueous solution: S2O2−8(aq)+3I−(aq)→2SO2−4(aq)+I−

Answer:

r = 3.61x10^{-6} M/s

Explanation:

The rate of disappearance (r) is given by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reagents, each one raised of the coefficient of the reaction.

r = k.[S2O2^{-8} ]^{x} x [I^{-} ]^{y}

K is the constant of the reaction, and doesn't depends on the concentrations. First, let's find the coefficients x and y. Let's use the first and the second experiments, and lets divide 1º by 2º :

\frac{r1}{r2} = \frac{0.018^{x} x0.036^{y} }{0.027^xx0.036^y}

\frac{2.6x10^{-6}}{3.9x10^{-6}} = (\frac{0.018}{0.027})^xx(\frac{0.036}{0.036})^y

0.67 = 0.67^x

x = 1

Now, to find the coefficient y let's do the same for the experiments 1 and 3:

\frac{r1}{r3} = \frac{0.018x0.036^y}{0.036x0.054^y}

\frac{2.6x10^{-6}}{7.8x10^{-6}} = (\frac{0.018}{0.036})x(\frac{0.036}{0.054})^y

0.33 = 0.5x 0.67^y

0.67 = 0.67^y

y = 1

Now, we need to calculate the constant k in whatever experiment. Using the first :

2.6x10^{-6} = kx0.018x0.036kx6.48x10^{-4} = 2.6x10^{-6}

k = 4.01x10^{-3} M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]

Using the data given,

r = 4.01x10^{-3}x1.8x10^{-2}x5.0x10^{-2}

r = 3.61x10^{-6} M/s

Calculate the mass in grams for each of the following liquids.
WITCHER [35]
The density is calculated as mass per volume, so if we want to solve for mass, we would multiply density by volume.
For Part A: if we have a density of 0.69 g/mL, and a volume of 280 mL, multiplying these will give a mass of: (0.69 g/mL)(280 mL) = 193.2 g. Rounded to 2 significant figures, this is 190 g gasoline.
For Part B: if we have a density of 0.79 g/mL, and a volume of 190 mL, multiplying these will give a mass of: (0.79 g/mL)(190 mL) = 150.1 g. Rounded to 2 significant figures, this is equal to 150 g ethanol.
