The half-reaction at the cathode in an electrochemical cell is given below. What other half-reaction would most likely occur at the anode to produce a spontaneous reaction?

Ni^2(aq)+2e-=Ni(s)

A. Cu(s)=Cu^2+(aq)+2e-
B. Zn(s)=Zn^2+(aq)+2e-
C. Mg^2+(aq)+2e-=Mg(s)
D. Ni(s)=Ni^2+(aq)+2e-

Answers

Answer 1

The half-reaction is Zn → Zn⁺² + 2e⁻ which is most likely occur at the anode to produce a spontaneous reaction.

Hence, option (B) is correct answer.

What is Spontaneous Reaction ?

A reaction which occurs without the intervention of outside is called Spontaneous reaction.  The reaction is Spontaneous when the Δ G < 0 and [tex]E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}}[/tex] > 0.

What is Cathode and Anode ?

Cathode where the reduction occurs. Anode where the oxidation take place.

Cathode: Ni⁺² + 2e⁻ → Ni

Anode: Zn → Zn⁺² + 2e⁻

______________________

Zn + Ni⁺² → Zn⁺²  + Ni

The above reaction is spontaneous reaction.

Thus, from the above conclusion we can say that half-reaction is Zn → Zn⁺² + 2e⁻ which is most likely occur at the anode to produce a spontaneous reaction.

Hence, option (B) is correct answer.

In what way are electrons quantized?
O A. They have fixed energy values.
they
OB. They can be gained and lost.
O C. They are negatively charged.
O D. They form bonds in molecules.

Answers

Answer: The correct option is A) They have fixed energy values.

Explanation:

Electron is one of the sub-atomic particle present around the nucleus of an atom which is negatively charged.

In an atomic model, it is assumed that the electron revolves around the nucleus in discrete orbits having fixed energy levels.

These electrons when jumping from one energy level to another, some amount of radiation is either emitted or absorbed.

These fixed energy levels are given by the Bohr model and thus, the electrons are quantized.

Hence, the correct option is A) They have fixed energy values.

Answer: They have fixed energy values

[tex]240 \:g \:Fe_{2}O_{3} \:\times(\frac{1\:\text{mol}\:Fe_{2}O_{3}}{159.69\: \text {g}\:Fe_{2}O_{3}})[/tex]

[tex]=1.50 \:\text{mol}\:Fe_{2}O_{3}[/tex]

Next, find the theoretical Fe yield using molar ratios.

[tex]1.50 \: \text {mol} \: Fe_{2}O_{3}\: \times (\frac{2\: \text{mol} \: Fe}{1 \:\text{mol} \: Fe_{2}O_{3}})[/tex]

[tex] = 3.00 \: \text{mol} \: Fe[/tex]

Then convert this back into grams:

[tex]3.00 \: \text{mol} \:Fe \times (\frac{55.845 \: \text{g} \: Fe}{1 \: \text{mol} \: Fe}) = 168 \: \text{g} \: Fe[/tex]

Note that actual yield is only 140 g Fe so percentage yield is

[tex]\dfrac{140\:\text{g}\:Fe}{168\:\text{g}\:Fe} \times 100[/tex]%= 83.3%

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.364 g of CaSO4 · 2H2O

Answers

Answer:

= 7.66 x 10²¹  oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of  CaSO₄·2H₂O

Explanation:

For problems like this posting, one needs an understanding of the following topics:

The definition of the mole

1 mole of substance = mass in grams of substance containing 1 Avogadro's Number ( = 6.023 x 10²³ ) of particles of the specified substance. This is generally one formula weight of the substance of interest. From this, the following equivalent relationships should be memorized:

  1 mole = 1 formula weight = 1 mole weight (g)= 6.023 x 10²³ particles

Converting grams to moles:

Given grams => moles = grams/gram formula wt

Converting moles to grams:

Given moles => grams = moles x gram formula wt

_________________________________________________________

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.364 g of CaSO₄ · 2H₂O.

Given mass CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = 0.364 grams

Formula Wt CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = 172 g/mole

moles CaSO₄ · 2H₂O = mass CaSO4 · 2H2O / formula Wt. CaSO₄ · 2H₂O

= 0.364 g CaSO₄·2H₂O / 172 g CaSO4·2H2O

= (0.364/172) mole CaSO₄·2H₂O

= 2.12 x 10⁻³ mole CaSO₄·2H₂O    

∴ number of Oxy (O) atoms in 0.364 grams CaSO₄·2H₂O

=  (2.12 x 10⁻³ mole CaSO₄ · 2H₂O)(6.023 x 10²³ molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O/ mole)

= 1.276876 x 10²¹molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O  CaSO₄2H₂O

= 1.276876 x 10²¹ molecules CaSO₄· 2H₂O   x   6 oxygen atoms / molecule

= 7.661256 x 10²¹  oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of  CaSO₄·2H₂O

= 7.66 x 10²¹  oxygen atoms in 0.364 grams of  CaSO₄·2H₂O

A sample of gas occupies a volume of 55.3 L, has a temperature of 23.3 °C and a pressure of .658 atm. Calculate the number of moles of gas which are present in the sample. R= .0821 atm L/mol K

Answers

Answer: The number of moles of gas which are present in the sample are 1.49 mol.

Explanation:

Given: Volume = 55.3 L

Temperature = [tex]23.3^{o}C[/tex] = (23.3 + 273) K = 296.3 K

Pressure = 0.658 atm

Formula used is as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]PV = nRT\\0.658 atm \times 55.3 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 296.3 K\\n = \frac{0.658 atm \times 55.3 L}{0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 296.3 K}\\= \frac{36.3874}{24.32623}\\= 1.49 mol[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the number of moles of gas which are present in the sample are 1.49 mol.

What is the mass of 0.125 moles of tin sulfate (SnSO4)?

Answers

Answer:

26.85 grams

Explanation:

The formula for mole calculations is number of moles = given mass/gram-formula mass.

The number of moles is given to us, which is 0.125.

The gram formula mass of SnSO4 is about 214.77.

Plug in the values we have into the equation. It should look like this:

0.125 = x / 214.77

Solve for x by multiplying 214.77 and 0.125. The answer should be about 26.85 grams.

I have oxygen gas at 2 L and 2 atm. At what pressure is the oxygen gas if my volume decreases to 1 L?

Answers

Answer: The oxygen gas has a pressure of 4 atm if my volume decreases to 1 L.

Explanation:

Given: [tex]V_{1}[/tex] = 2 L,        [tex]P_{1}[/tex] = 2 atm

[tex]V_{2}[/tex] = 1 L,          [tex]P_{2}[/tex] = ?

Formula used to calculate the new pressure is as follows.

[tex]P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}[/tex]

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}\\2 atm \times 2 L = P_{2} \times 1 L\\P_{2} = 4 atm[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the oxygen gas has a pressure of 4 atm if my volume decreases to 1 L.

A molecule has four bonded atoms around a central atom. The central atom does not have any lone pairs of electrons. What is the geometry of the molecule?

Answers

Answer:

Tetrahedral. Tetra- signifies four, and -hedral relates to a face of a solid; “tetrahedral” literally means “having four faces. ” This shape is found when there are four bonds all on one central atom, with no lone electron pairs. In accordance with the VSEPR theory, the bond angles between the electron bonds are 109.5o ...

There are two characteristics of molecules, one is geometry and other is shape. Shape is excluding lone pair surrounding the central element and geometry is including the lone pair. Therefore, the geometry of given molecule is tetrahedral.

What is VSEPR theory?

VSEPR stands for valence shell electron pair repulsions. VSEPR theory is used to predict the shape and geometry of molecules on the basis of valence electrons pairs that are present around the central element of the molecule.

According to VSEPR theory, Lone pair lone pair repulsion is greater than bond pair bond pair repulsion. There are so many limitations of VSEPR theory. There is a repulsion between bond pair electrons and lone pairs present on the central element.

A molecule has four bonded atoms around a central atom. The central atom does not have any lone pairs of electrons. The geometry of such molecule is Tetrahedral. Geometry does not include lone pair on central atom.

Therefore, the geometry of given molecule is tetrahedral.
