A voltaic cell has one half-cell with a Cu bar in a 1.00 M Cu2+ salt and the other half-cell with a Cd bar in the same volume of a 1.00 M Cd2+ salt.
A voltaic cell has one half-cell with a Cu bar in a 1.00 M Cu2+ salt and the other half-cell with a Cd bar in the same volume of a 1.00 M Cd2+ salt. Report your answers to the correct number of significant figures.
a)Find E degree cell,
delta G degree ,
and K.
b)As the cell operates (Cd2+) increases;
Find E cell when (Cd2+) is 1.95M
c)Find E cell, Delta G, and (Cu2+) at equilibrium.
answers: (with the exception of Cu=2 at equilibrium which is what I need)
a) anode reaction: oxidation takes place
Cd(s) -------------------------> Cd+2 (aq) + 2e- , E0Cd+2/Cd = - 0.403 V
cathode reaction : reduction takes palce
Cu+2(aq) + 2e- -----------------------------> Cu(s) , E0Cu+2/Cu = + 0.34V
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
net reaction: Cd(s) +Cu+2(aq) -------------------------> Cd+2 (aq) + Cu(s)
E0cell= E0cathode- E0anode
E0cell= E0Cu+2/Cu - E0Cd+2/Cd
= 0.34 - (-0.403)
= 0.74 V
E0cell= 0.74 V
Go = - n FE0cell
= - 2 x 96485 x 0.74
= -142798 J
= -142 .8 kJ
Go = -142 .8 kJ
Go = - R T ln K
-142 . 8 = -8.314 x 10^-3 x 298 x ln K
lnK = 57.64
K = 1.08 x 10^25
b) b) Cd(s) +Cu+2(aq) -------------------------> Cd+2 (aq) + Cu(s) t= 0 1 M 1M t=t 1-0.95 =0.05 1+0.95 M E cell = E0cell - 0.0591/2log( Cd+2/Cu+2) = 0.74 V - 0.0591/2log( 1.95/0.05) = 0.692 V c) At equlibrium, Ecell = 0 , and DeltaG= 0 by definition
but what is CU+2 at equilibrium?
I don't need an explanation just the answer in scientific notation...note part of the answer is 10^-25
