Question

1.What mode of decay is probable for 41/18 Ar ? What mode of decay is probable for ? a.electron capture b. beta emission C.positron emission D.alpha emission

2.

The standard cell potential, E°cell, for a reaction in which two electrons are transferred between the reactants is +1.33 V. Calculate the standard free energy change, G°, in kJ for this reaction and determine if it is spontaneous or nonspontaneous at 25°C.

A.2.57 × 102 kJ, nonspontaneous B. 2.57 × 102 kJ, spontaneous C. 1.28 × 102 kJ, spontaneous D. +2.57 × 102 kJ, nonspontaneous

3. List the given metal ions in order of increasing strength as oxidizing agents, based on the following standard reduction potentials, E°red .

A. Al3+ < Fe2+ < Zn2+ < Ag+ B.    Ag+ < Fe2+ < Zn2+ < Al3+ C. Zn2+ < Fe2+ < Ag+ < Al3+ D. Al3+ < Zn2+ < Fe2+ < Ag+

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1)

41/18Ar23 disintegrates by beta minus decay to excited levels and ground state levels of K-41, 41/19K22.

Correct optionis B: beta emission

Answer 2)

Given that, E°cell = +1.33 V and n = 2, T = 25oC = 298.15K,

F = Faraday's constant = 96,485 C/mol

DeltaGo = -nFE°cell

DeltaGo = -2 × 96,485 C/mol × (+1.33 V)

DeltaGo = -256650.1 J = -256.650 KJ

DeltaGo = -256.650 KJ = -2.56 × 102 KJ

Since delta G is negative reaction is spontaneous. Option B is correct.

Answer 3)

Correct answer for this question is option D

Al3+ < Zn2+ < Fe2+ < Ag+

Ag+ + e-   à Ag(s) -------------Eo = 0.80V

Fe2+ + 2e-   à Fe(s)------------- Eo = -0.45V

Zn2+ + 2e-   à Zn(s)------------- Eo = -0.76V

Al3+ + 3e-   à Al(s)------------- Eo = -1.66V

A.

Al3+ < Fe2+ < Zn2+ < Ag+

B.   

Ag+ < Fe2+ < Zn2+ < Al3+

C.

Zn2+ < Fe2+ < Ag+ < Al3+

D.

Al3+ < Zn2+ < Fe2+ < Ag+

A.

Al3+ < Fe2+ < Zn2+ < Ag+

B.   

Ag+ < Fe2+ < Zn2+ < Al3+

C.

Zn2+ < Fe2+ < Ag+ < Al3+

D.

Al3+ < Zn2+ < Fe2+ < Ag+
