Step by step solution

01

Definition of energy

Change from liquid to vapour phase involves heat of vaporisation, which requires energy to be consumed or released. Chemical energy is the energy associated with a molecule's chemical bonds.

02

Subpart (a)

Equation given, 2C8H8+25O216CO2+18H2O

Calculate the 螖贬ousing formation heats.

螖贬o=螖贬productso-螖贬reactantso=16螖贬CO2o+18螖贬H2Oo-2螖贬C8H8o+25螖贬O2o=(16-393.5+18-241.826)-(2-250.1+250)=10,149kJ

Convert the volume of gasoline to grammes by multiplying by the density, then dividing by the molar mass to get moles of octane.

1.00gal3785mL1gal0.7028g1mL1molC8H8114.24g=23.29mol

To calculate the heat emitted, multiply by the 螖贬f

23.29mol-10,149kJ2molC8H18=-1.18105kJ

Therefore, the value is -1.18105kJ.

03

Subpart (b)

Equation given,H2(g)+12O2(g)H2O(g)has螖贬o=-241.826kJ, Divide the螖贬ofrom (a) by the energy released by hydrogen combustion.

-1.18105kJ1molH2-241.826kJ=488.71molH2

To calculate the amount of hydrogen in litres, use the ideal gas equation

PV=nRTV=nRTP=488.710.08206298.151atm=1.195104L

Therefore, the amount is1.195104L.

04

Subpart (c)

The time required to make 488.71mol of hydrogen (from b) can be computed using the equation

2H2OH2+2OH-

Convert the moles of hydrogen to electrons, then multiply by Faraday's constant to get the charge. The generation of hydrogen gas from requires two electrons.

488.71molH22mole-molH296,500Cmole-=9.43107C

To calculate the required time, divide by the current time.

9.431071s1000C=9.43104s

Therefore, the time is 9.43104s.

05

Subpart (d)

Calculate kWh by multiplying the charge from (c) by the voltage.

9.43107C5.00V1J1CV1kWh3.6106J=131kWh

Therefore, the value is 131kWh.

06

Subpart (e)

Take the cost and multiply it by the power (d).

131kwH0.950cents1kWh=124.45dollars

Calculate the cost of achieving 100percent efficiency.

1.24dollars10088=141.42dollars

Therefore, the cost is141.42dollars.

A voltaic cell is constructed with an Fe/Fe2 + half-cell and an Mn/Mn2 + half-cell. The iron electrode is positive.

(a) Write balanced half-reactions and the overall reaction.

(b) Diagram the cell, labeling electrodes with their charges and showing the directions of electron flow in the circuit and of cation and anion flow in the salt bridge.

Trains powered by electricity, including subways, use direct current. One conductor is the overhead wire (or 鈥渢hird rail鈥 for subways), and the other is the rails upon which the wheels run. The rails are supported on supports in contact with the ground. To minimize corrosion, should the overhead wire or the rails be connected to the positive terminal? Explain

Comparing the standard electrode potentials (Eo)of the Group 1A(1)metalsLi, Na, and Kwith the negative of their first ionization energies reveals a discrepancy:

Ionization process reversed:M+(g) +e-M(g) ( - IE)

Electrode reaction:M+(aq) +e-M(s) (Eo)

Note that the electrode potentials do not decrease smoothly down the group, as the ionization energies do. You might expect that if it is more difficult to remove an electron from an atom to form a gaseous ion (largerIE), then it would be less difficult to add an electron to an aqueous ion to form an atom (smallerEo), yetLi+(aq)is more difficult to reduce thanNa+(aq). Applying Hess鈥檚 law, use an approach similar to that for a Born-Haber cycle to break down the process occurring at the electrode into three steps and label the energy involved in each step. How can you account for the discrepancy?

Question: To examine the effect of ion removal on cell voltage, a chemist constructs two voltaic cells, each with a standard hydrogen electrode in one compartment. One cell also contains aPb/Pb2 +half-cell; the other contains a Cu/Cu2 +half-cell.

(a) What is Eoof each cell 298 K at?

(b) Which electrode in each cell is negative?

(c) When Na2Ssolution is added to the Pb2 +electrolyte, solid PbSforms. What happens to the cell voltage?

(d) When sufficient Na2Sis added to the Cu2 +electrolyte,CuSforms and [Cu2 +]drops to 110-6. Find the cell voltage.

Identify those elements that can be prepared by electrolysis of their aqueous salts: lithium, iodine, zinc, silver.
