Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach
- A mercury battery, used for hearing aids and electric watches, delivers a constant voltage (1.35 V) for long periods. The half-reactions are HgO(s)+H2O(l)+2eHg(l)+2OH(aq)Zn(s)+2OH(aq)Zn(OH)2(s)+2e Which half-reaction occurs at the anode and which occurs at the cathode? What is the overall cell reaction?arrow_forwardDetermine the overall reaction and its standard cell potential at 25 C for these reactions. Is the reaction spontaneous at standard conditions? Assume the standard reduction for Br2(l) is the same as for Br2(aq).. Pt(s)|H2(g)|H+(aq)Br2(aq),Br(aq)|Pt(s)arrow_forwardAn aqueous solution of an unknown salt of gold is electrolyzed by a current of 2.75 amps for 3.39 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 93.0%, resulting in a deposit of 21.221 g of gold. a How many faradays are required to deposit the gold? b What is the charge on the gold ions (based on your calculations)?arrow_forward
- Consider the following metals: Ag, Au, Mg, Ni, and Zn. Which of these metals could be used as a sacri?cial anode in the cathodic protection of an underground steel storage tank? Steel is mostly iron, 50 use -0.447 V as the standard reduction potential for steel.arrow_forwardGalvanized steel pipes are used in the plumbing of many older homes. When copper plumbing is added to a system consisting of galvanized steel pipes it is necessary to place an insulator between the copper and the steel to avoid corrosion. Write a balanced oxidation-reduction equation for the reaction that occurs if the pipes are directly connected. What is the standard potential between the metals?arrow_forwardConsider the galvanic cell based on the following half-reactions: a. Determine the overall cell reaction and calculate b. Calculate G and K for the cell reaction at 25C. c. Calculate at 25C when [Au3+] = 1.0 102 M and [Tl+] = 1.0 104 M.arrow_forward
- What reaction will take place at the Cathode and the anode when each of the following is electrolyzed? (Assume Standard conditions.) a. 1.0 M KF solution b. 1.0 M CuCl2 solution c. 1.0 M MgI2 solutionarrow_forwardFor the cell: Cr|Cr3+Co2+|Co E° is 0.46 V. The same cell was prepared in the laboratory at standard conditions. The voltage obtained was 0.40 V. A possible explanation for the difference is (a) the surface area of the chromium electrode was smaller than the cobalt electrode. (b) the mass of the chromium electrode was larger than the mass of the cobalt electrode. (c) the concentration of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was less than 1.0 M. (d) the concentration of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was less than 1.0 M. (e) the volume of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was larger than the volume of Cr(NO3)2 solution used.arrow_forwardGiven the following two standard reduction potentials, solve for the standard reduction potential of the half-reaction M3++eM2+ (Hint: You must use the extensive property G to determine the standard reduction potential.)arrow_forward
