The standard reduction potentials for two half-cells involving iron are: given below. Fe2+ (aq) + 2e– ® Fe (s) Eο = –0.44 V Fe3+

(aq) + e– ® Fe2+ (aq) Eο = +0.77 V What is the equation and the cell potential for the spontaneous reaction that occurs when the two half-cells are connected?

Answer:

Explanation:

Fe⁺² (aq) + 2e⁻ =   Fe (s)   ;   E⁰ =  - .44 V

Fe⁺³ (aq) + e⁻ =  ® Fe²⁺ (aq) ;   E⁰ = + .77 V

Reduction potential of second reaction is more , so it will take place , ie Fe⁺³ will be reduced and Fe will be oxidised .

So reaction in the combined cell will be

2Fe⁺³ + Fe = 3Fe⁺²

cell potential = .77 - ( - .44 )

= 1.21 V .

Naturally occurring iodine has an atomic mass of 126.9045 amu. A 12.3849-g sample of iodine is accidentally contaminated with 1.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

127.0665 amu

Explanation:

Firstly, to answer the question correctly, we need to access the percentage compositions of the iodine and the contaminant iodine. We can do this by placing their individual masses over the total and multiplying by 100%.

We do this as follows. Since the mass of the contaminant iodine is 1.00070g, the mass of the 129I in that particular sample will be 12.3849 - 1.00070 = 11.3842g

The percentage abundances is as follows:

Synthetic radioisotope % = 1.0007/12.3849 * 100% = 8.1%

Since there are only two constituents, the percentage abundance of the 129I would be 100 - 8.1 = 91.9%

Now, we can use these percentages to get the apparent atomic mass. We get this by multiplying the percentage abundance’s by the atomic masses of both and adding together.

That is :

[8.1/100 * 128.9050] + [91.9/100 * 126.9045] = 10.441305 + 116.6252355 = 127.0665 amu

A 0.580 g sample of a compound containing only carbon and hydrogen contains 0.480 g of carbon and 0.100 g of hydrogen. At STP, 3
Sati [7]

Answer:

Molecular formula for the gas is: C₄H₁₀

Explanation:

Let's propose the Ideal Gases Law to determine the moles of gas, that contains 0.087 g

At STP → 1 atm and 273.15K

1 atm . 0.0336 L = n . 0.082 . 273.15 K

n = (1 atm . 0.0336 L) / (0.082 . 273.15 K)

n = 1.500 × 10⁻³ moles

Molar mass of gas = 0.087 g / 1.500 × 10⁻³ moles = 58 g/m

Now we propose rules of three:

If 0.580 g of gas has ____ 0.480 g of C _____ 0.100 g of C

58 g of gas (1mol) would have:

(58 g . 0.480) / 0.580 = 48 g of C  

(58 g . 0.100) / 0.580 = 10 g of H

 48 g of C / 12 g/mol = 4 mol

 10 g of H / 1g/mol = 10 moles

Identify the Lewis acids and Lewis bases in the following reactions:
postnew [5]

Answer: 1. H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O  Lewis acid : H^+, Lewis base : OH^-

2. Cl^-+BCl_3\rightarrow BCl_4^- Lewis acid : BCl_3, Lewis base : Cl^-

3. K^++6H_2O\rightarrow K(H_2O)_6 Lewis acid : K^+, Lewis base : H_2O

Explanation:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

1. H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O

As H^+ gained electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid.OH^- acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie H^+.

2. Cl^-+BCl_3\rightarrow BCl_4^-

As BCl_3 is short of two electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid. Cl^- acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie BCl_3.

3. K^++6H_2O\rightarrow K(H_2O)_6

As K^+ is short of electrons to complete its octet. Thus it acts as lewis acid. H_2O acts as lewis base as it donates lone pair of electrons to electron deficient specie K^+.

Estimate ΔG°rxn for the following reaction at 387 K. HCN (g) + 2 H2 (g) → CH3NH2 (g) ΔH° = −158.0 kJ; ΔS° = −219.9
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

ΔG°rxn = -72.9 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

HCN(g) + 2 H₂(g) → CH₃NH₂(g)

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG°rxn) using the following expression:

ΔG°rxn = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

where,

ΔH° is the standard enthalpy of the reaction

T is the absolute temperature

ΔS° is the standard entropy of the reaction

ΔG°rxn = -158.0 KJ - 387 K × (-219.9 × 10⁻³ J/K)

ΔG°rxn = -72.9 kJ
