Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e

notsponge [240]

Answer: The concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ in the cell is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

We are given:

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V$

Reduction half reaction: $Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)$ $E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Here, tin will undergo reduction reaction and will get reduced.

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:

$E^o_{cell}=-0.136-(-0.76)=0.624V$

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

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Mn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = 0.660 V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.624 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

$[Zn^{2+}]=2.5\times 10^{-3}M$

$[Sn^{2+}]$ = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.660=0.624-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}}{[Sn^{2+}})$

$[Sn^{2+}]=9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ ions is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

A sample of H2 gas (2.0 L) at 3.5 atm was combined with 1.5 L of N2 gas at 2.6 atm pressure at a constant temperature of 25 °C i

Tamiku [17]

For this system, we use Dalton's law of partial pressures where the total pressure of a gas mixture is said to be equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gases. The partial pressure of each gas would be calculated by the product of the mole fraction and the original pressure of the gas. We do as follows:

Total pressure = x1P1 + x2P2
Total pressure = (2.0 / 7.0 )(3.5) + (1.5/7.0)(2.6)
Total pressure = 1.56 atm

Based on the activity series, which one of the reactions below will occur (Spontaneous)? A. Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + N

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + Ni

Explanation:

The order of displacement of metals from aqueous solution by another metal is defined by the activity series of metals.

The activity series arranges metals in order of reactivity and increasing electrode potentials. The less negative the electrode potential of a metal is, the less reactive it is and the lower it is found in the activity series.

Nickel has a less negative electrode potential than manganese hence it is displaced from an aqueous solution of its salt by manganese spontaneously.

For an enzyme that displays Michaelis-Menten kinetics, what is the reaction velocity, v(as a percentage of Vmax), observed at:a)

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a) 50% of the maximum velocity

b) 33.33% of the maximum velocity

c) 9.09% of the maximum velocity

d) 66.66% of the maximum velocity

e) 90.9% of the maximum velocity

Explanation:

The Michaelis-Menten kinetis is represented by

v = Vmax*S/(Km+S)

where

v= reaction rate

S= Substrate's concentration

Vmax= maximum rate of reaction

Km= constant

a) for S=Km

v = Vmax*Km/(2Km) = Vmax/2

v/Vmax = 1/2= 50% of the maximum velocity

b) for S=Km/2

v = Vmax*(Km/2)/(3/2Km) = Vmax/3

v/Vmax = 1/3= 33.33% of the maximum velocity

c) for S= 0.1*Km=Km/10

v = Vmax*(Km/10)/(11/10Km) = Vmax/11

v/Vmax = 1/11= 9.09% of the maximum velocity

d) for S=2*Km

v = Vmax*(2*Km)/(3*Km) = (2/3)* Vmax

v/Vmax = 2/3 = 66.66% of the maximum velocity

d) for S=10*Km

v = Vmax*(10*Km)/(11*Km) = (10/11)* Vmax

v/Vmax = 10/11 = 90.9 % of the maximum velocity

What might your need to add to your soil to help your radishes grow? Explain why.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

For the most part radish seed growth is best when they are planted in cool soil; early spring or fall are the preferred seasons for many varieties. Next, be sure to get the soil in good shape before planting – loose, full of seasoned organic material, but not overly fertile. Moisture and soil depth must be right, too.
