One of the few industrial-scale processes that produce organic compounds electrochemically is used by the Monsanto Company to produce1,4-dicyanobutane. The reduction reaction is 2CH2CHCH+2H++2eNC(CH2)4CN The NC(CH2)4CN is then chemically reduced using hydrogen gas to H2N(CH2)6NH2, which is used in the production of nylon. What current must be used to produce 150.kg NC(CH2)4CN per hour?

In some old European churches, the stained-glass windowshave so darkened from corrosion and age that hardly anylight comes through. Microprobe analysis showed that tinycracks anddefects on the glass surface were enriched ininsoluble Mn(III) and Mn(IV) compounds. From AppendixE, suggest a reducing agent and conditions that might successfullyconvert thesecompounds to soluble Mn(II) withoutsimultaneously reducing Fe(III) (which gives the glassits colors) to Fe(II). Take MnO2 as representative of theinsoluble Mn(III) and Mn(IV) compounds.
The Nernst equation allows determination of the cell potential for a galvanic cell at nonstandard conditions. Write out the Nernst equation. What are nonstandard conditions?

Explain the following statement: determines spontaneity, while determines the equilibrium position. Under what conditions can you use to predict spontaneity?
