- Why do redox potentials measured in soils differ from theoretical redox potentials (Eh)?arrow_forwardAn anda bircen çok oturum açan kullanıcinın sinavi geçersiz sayılacaktır!. SORU-13 M)Bo birak I- The potential created between the metal and the solution in equilibrium is called the electrode potential. Il- The potential formed between metal and solution in equilibrium is called corrosion potential. III-When each metal is immersed in a 1 molar solution of its ions, the potential measured at 25 °C is called the standard electrode potential of that metal. IV. If a metal is immersed in a solution containing its ions, the metal (+) is charged with the solution (-). Which or which of the above is wrong.

In an electrolysis experiment similar to the one employed this experiment; a student observed that his unknown metal anode lost 0.238 grams while a total volume of 94.50 mL of hydrogen was being produced. The temperature of the solution was 25°C and the barometric pressure was 739 mm Hg. The difference between the water levels in the beaker and buret was negligible. The vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.8 mm Hg. Based on the information provided and the lab handout, what pressure of hydrogen is collected, in atmospheres?

- A solution of iron(II) sulfate was prepared by dissolving 10.00 g of FeSO4•7H2O (FW = 277.9) in water and diluting up to a total volume of 250 mL. The solution was left to stand, exposed to air, and some of the iron(II) ions became oxidized to ron(III) ions. A 25.0 mL sample of this partially oxidized solution required 23.70 mL of 0.0100 M potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 solution for complete reaction in the presence of dilute sulfuric acid. Calculate the percentage of iron(II) ions that had been oxidized by the air.arrow_forwardAnswer the questions below pertaining to the following unbalanced redox reaction: (s) Na₂M0₂07 (aq) + Nal + HI (aq) + + NaClO4 (aq) + ———— NaClO3 (aq) → H₂O (1) Mol3 Balance the reaction below by typing in each stoichiometric coefficient.
