Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Spontaneity of given reaction should be explained, when addition of given buffer to the cell.
Concept introduction:
Cell potential (EMF):
The maximum potential difference between two electrodes of voltaic cell is known as cell potential.
If standard reduction potentials of electrodes are given the cell potential (EMF) is given by,
Where,
Nernst equation:
The relationship between standard cell potential and cell potential at non standard conditions and the reaction quotient are given by Nernst equation it is,
Where,
Ph of the solution is nothing but the concentration of Hydrogen ion in given solution in given condition and it is given by negative logarithm of base ten Hydrogen ion concentration.

- Acrylic acid is used in the polymer industry in the production of acrylates. Its K, is 5.6 X 10“’. What is the pH of a 0.11 M solution of acrylic acid, CH2CHCOOH?arrow_forwardThe simplest amino acid is glycine, H2NCH2CO2H. The common feature of amino acids is that they contain the functional groups: an amine group, -NH2, and a carboxylic acid group, -CO2H. An amino acid can function as either an acid or a base. For glycine, the acid strength of the carboxyl group is about the same as that of acetic acid. CH3CO2H, and the base strength of the amino group is slightly greater than that of ammonia, NH3. (a) Write the Lewis structures of the ions that form when glycine is dissolved in 1 M HCl and in 1 M KOH. (b) Write the Lewis structure of glycine when this amino acid is dissolved in water. (Hint: Consider the relative base strengths of the -NH2 and -CO2- groups.)arrow_forwardExplain why equilibrium calculations are not necessary to determine ionic concentrations in solutions of certain strung electrolytes such as NaOH and HCl. Under what conditions are equilibrium calculations necessary as part of the determination of the concentrations of all ions of some other strong electrolytes in solution?arrow_forward

Consider blood with a pH of 7.44. a What is the ratio of [H2PO4] to [HPO42]? b What does the pH become if 25% of the hydrogen phosphate ions are converted to dihydrogen phosphate ion? c What does the pH become if 15% of the dihydrogen phosphate ions are converted to hydrogen phosphate ions?arrow_forward
- Hydrogen iodide gas decomposes to hydrogen gas and iodine gas: 2HI(g)H2(g)+I2(g)To determine the equilibrium constant of the system, identical one-liter glass bulbs are filled with 3.20 g of HI and maintained at a certain temperature. Each bulb is periodically opened and analyzed for iodine formation by titration with sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3. I2(aq)+2S2O32(aq)S4O62(aq)+2 I(aq)It is determined that when equilibrium is reached, 37.0 mL of 0.200 M Na2S2O3 is required to titrate the iodine. What is K at the temperature of the experiment?arrow_forwardAt 22 °C, an excess amount of a generic metal hydroxide, M(OH)2,M(OH)2, is mixed with pure water.
