A electrochemical reaction is said to be spontaneous, if
Answer 1:
Consider reaction: <span>Ni^2+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) ----> + Ni (s) + S (s)
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
</span>
Hence,
we know that,
and
Therefore,
= - 0.25 - (-0.47) = 0.22 v
Since,
is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous
.....................................................................................................................
Answer 2: Consider reaction: <span>Pb^2+ (aq) +H2 (g) ----> Pb (s) +2H^+ (aq)
</span>
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
Hence,
we know that,
and
Therefore,
= - 0.126 - 0 = -0.126 v
Since, is negative, hence cell reaction is non-spontaneous.....................................................................................................................
Answer 3:
Consider reaction: <span>2Ag^+ (aq) + Cr(s) ---> 2 Ag (s) +Cr^2+ (aq)
</span>
The cell representation of above reaction is given by;
Hence,
we know that,
and
Therefore,
= - 0.22 - (-0.913) = 0.693 v
Since,
is positive, hence cell reaction is spontaneous
Answer:
In general an acid reacts with a carbonate or hydrogen-carbonate to produce a salt, carbon dioxide gas and water.
H2O is the chemical formula of water. It means that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms, indicated by the letter H, and a single oxygen atom, represented by the O. Water is a chemical substance with no smell, taste, or color.
