Answer:
to which cations from the salt bridge migrate
Explanation:
A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. It's composed of a cathode, an anode, and a salt bridge.
In cathode, the substance is gaining electrons, so it's reducing, in the anode, the substance is losing electrons, so it's oxidating. The flow of electrons is from the anode to the cathode.
The salt bridge is a bond between the cathode and the anode. When the redox reaction takes place, the substances produce its ions, so the solution is no more neutral. The salt bridge allows the solutions to become neutral and the redox reaction continues.
So, the cathode produces anions, which goes to the anode, and the anode produces cations, which goes to the cathode. Then, the cathode n a voltaic cell is the electrode to which cations from salt bridge migrate and where the reduction takes place.
The ionization energy of an element is the amount of energy required to remove one mole of electrons from the element in its gaseous state. The equations for the first three are:
Fe(g) → Fe⁺(g) + e⁻
Fe⁺(g) → Fe⁺²(g) + e⁻
Fe⁺²(g) → Fe⁺³(g) + e
Answer:
-3.7771 × 10² kJ/mol
Explanation:
Let's consider the following equation.
3 Mg(s) + 2 Al³⁺(aq) ⇌ 3 Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 Al(s)
We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.
ΔG° = ∑np . ΔG°f(p) - ∑nr . ΔG°f(r)
where,
n: moles
ΔG°f(): standard Gibbs free energy of formation
p: products
r: reactants
ΔG° = 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg²⁺(aq)) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al(s)) - 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg(s)) - 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al³⁺(aq))
ΔG° = 3 mol × (-456.35 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 3 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 2 mol × (-495.67 kJ/mol)
ΔG° = -377.71 kJ = -3.7771 × 10² kJ
This is the standard Gibbs free energy per mole of reaction.
