- What is the voltage of a concentration cell of Fe2+ ions where the concentrations are 0.0025 and 0.750 M? What is the spontaneous reaction?arrow_forwardAn electrolysis experiment is performed to determine the value of the Faraday constant (number of coulombs per mole of electrons). In this experiment, 28.8 g of gold is plated out from a AuCN solution by running an electrolytic cell for two hours with a current of 2.00 A. What is the experimental value obtained for the Faraday Constant?arrow_forwardYou have 1.0 M solutions of Al(NO3)3 and AgNO3 along with Al and Ag electrodes to construct a voltaic cell. The salt bridge contains a saturated solution of KCl. Complete the picture associated with this problem by a writing the symbols of the elements and ions in the appropriate areas (both solutions and electrodes). b identifying the anode and cathode. c indicating the direction of electron flow through the external circuit. d indicating the cell potential (assume standard conditions, with no current flowing). e writing the appropriate half-reaction under each of the containers. f indicating the direction of ion flow in the salt bridge. g identifying the species undergoing oxidation and reduction. h writing the balanced overall reaction for the cell.arrow_forward
- Consider a voltaic cell in which the following reaction takes place in basic medium at 25°C. 2NO3-(aq)+3S2(aq)+4H2O3S(s)+2NO(g)+8OH(aq) (a) Calculate E°. (b) Write the Nernst equation for the cell E. (c) Calculate E under the following conditions: PNO=0.994atm,ph=13.7,[S2]=0.154M,[NO3-]=0.472M, .arrow_forwardIt took 150. s for a current of 1.25 A to plate out 0.109 g of a metal from a solution containing its cations. Show that it is not possible for the cations to have a charge of 1+.arrow_forwardFor a certain cell, G=25.0 kJ. Calculate E° if n is (a) 1(b)1(c) 41 Comment on the effect that the number of electrons exchanged has on the voltage of a cell.arrow_forward
- From the information provided, use cell notation to describe the following systems: (a) In one half-cell, a solution of Pt(NO3)2 forms Pt metal, while in the other half-Cell, Cu metal goes into a.Cu(NO3)2 solution with all solute concentrations 1 M. (b) The cathode consists of a gold electrode in a 0.55 M Au(NO3)3 solution and the anode is a magnesium electrode in 0.75 M Mg(NO3)2 solution. (c) One half-cell consists of a silver electrode in a 1 M AgNO3 solution, and in the other half-cell, a copper Electrode in 1 M Cu(NO3)2 is oxidized.arrow_forwardBalance the following reactions and write the reactions using cell notation. Ignore any inert electrodes, as they are never part of the half-reactions. (a) Al(s)+Zr4+(aq)Al3+(aq)+Zr(s) (b) Ag+(aq)+No(g)Ag(s)+NO3(aq) (acidic solution). (C) SiO32(aq)+Mg(s)Si(s)+Mg(OH)2(s) (basic solution). (d) CIO3(aq)+MnO2(s)CI(aq)+MnO4(aq) (basic solution)arrow_forward
