1. 2Na(s) + 2H20(l) 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Standard reduction potentials:
Na+ + e- Na; -2.71V
2H20 + 2e- H2 + 2OH-; -0.83V
E = 2.71*2 - 0.83 = 4.59 V
Free energy ΔGº = -nFEºcell, wheren is the number of moles of electrons transferred
F is Faraday's constant and represents the charge of one mole of electrons = 96,500 coulombs/mol
Here, ΔGº = -2*96,500*4.59 = 885.87 KJ
Equilibrium Constant: Kc = enFEº/RT = exp(885870/(8.31*298)) = exp(31767661)
2. What mass of Pb would be deposited by electrolysis of and aqueous solution of lead (II) nitrate using a current of 100 amps of 8.00 hours?
The reduction of Pb2+ ions will occur according to the following equation:
Pb2+(aq) + 2e- ...
