What is the value of the equilibrium constant at 25 oC for the reaction between the pair: Ag(s) and Ni2+(aq) to give Ni(s) and A

rusak2 [61]

Answer: $3\times 10^{35}$

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation will be:

$2Ag(s)+Ni^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Ag^{+}(aq)+Ni(s)$

Here Ag undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Nickel undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

$E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}$

Where both $E^0$ are standard reduction potentials.

$E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Mg]}=+0.80V$

$E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}=-0.25V$

$E^0=E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}- E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}$

$E^0=-0.25-(+0.80V)=-1.05V$

The standard emf of a cell is related to Gibbs free energy by following relation:

$\Delta G=-nFE^0$

$\Delta G$ = gibbs free energy

n= no of electrons gained or lost =?

F= faraday's constant

$E^0$ = standard emf

$\Delta G=-2\times 96500\times (-1.05)=202650J$

The Gibbs free energy is related to equilibrium constant by following relation:

$\Delta G=-2.303RTlog K$

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol

T = temperature in kelvin = $25^0C=25+273=298K$

K = equilibrium constant

$\Delta G=-2.303RTlog K$

$+202650=-2.303\times 8.314\times 298\times logK$

$K=3\times 10^{35}$

Thus the value of the equilibrium constant at $25^0C$ is $3\times 10^{35}$

What is the role of the beaver in its ecosystem?

Arturiano [62]

Creating Wetlands. When beavers make a dam, they slow the flow of water in the stream and, subsequently, a pond or area of wetland is formed. Roughly 85 percent off all native North American fauna rely on wetlands, so they're extremely important to the ecosystem.

When the reaction A → B + C is studied, a plot 1/[A]t vs. time gives a straight line with a positive slope. What is the order of

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Second order

Explanation:

Given that:

When the reaction A → B + C is studied, a plot 1/[A]t vs. time gives a straight line with a positive slope.

From the integration method for the second order of reaction.

Suppose that:

rate = k₂[A]²

∴

$\dfrac{1}{A}=\dfrac{1}{A_0}+k_2t$

Therefore, a plot of the linear function $\dfrac{1}{A}$ versus t will be linear with a positive slope k₂ and the intercept on the concentration axis will be $\dfrac{1}{A_o}$

The linear plot for a second order reaction can be seen in theimage attached below.

Lithium (Li): 1s 2sB A= B=

topjm [15]

Answer:

A = 2

B = 1

Explanation:

The atomic number of lithium is 3.

Its atomic mass is 7 amu.

It is present in group group 1.

It has one valance electron.

Lithium is alkali metal it form salts.

It is silvery soft metal. It has lowest density as compared to all other metals.

It react vigorously with water.

It is used in rechargeable batteries which are used in camera, mobile, laptops etc.

The electronic configuration of Li:

Li₃ = 1s² 2s¹

Thus,

A = 2

B = 1
