Chlorine, Cl2, is produced commercially by the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride. The anode reaction is 2Cl(aq)Cl2(g)+2e How long will it take to produce 2.00 kg of chlorine if the current is 5.00 102 A?

The overall reaction for the production of Cu(OH)2 from Cu in oxygenated water can be broken into three steps: an oxidation half-reaction, a reduction half-reaction, and a precipitation reaction. a. Complete and balance the two missing half-reactions to give the overall equation for the oxidation of cooper in seawater. Oxidation half-reaction: ? Reduction half-reaction: ? Precipitation:Cu2+(aq)+2OH(aq)Cu(OH)2(s)Overall:Cu(s)+12O2(g)+H2O(l)Cu(OH)2(s) b. Determine the equilibrium constant for the overall reaction at 25 C using standard reduction potentials and the solubility product constant (Ksp) of Cu(OH)2(s).

Give a thermodynamic argument for why it is more efficient to generate electricity from methane oxidation in a fuel cell rather than from methane oxidation in a conventional combustion power plant.

An aqueous solution of an unknown salt of vanadium is electrolyzed by a current of 2.50 amps for 1.90 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 95.0%, resulting in a deposit of 2.850 g of vanadium. a How many faradays are required to deposit the vanadium? b What is the charge on the vanadium ions (based on your calculations)?

Consider the following cell reaction at 25C. 2Cr3+(aq)+3Zn(s)3Zn2(aq)+2Cr(s) Calculate the standard cell potential of this cell from the standard electrode potentials, and from this obtain G for the cell reaction. Use data in Appendix C to calculate H; note that Cr(H2O)63+(aq) equals Cr3+(aq). Use these values of H and G to obtain S for the cell reaction.

Use electrode potentials to answer the following questions, assuming standard conditions. a Do you expect permanganate ion (MnO4 ) to oxidize chloride ion to chlorine gas in acidic solution? b Will dichromate ion (Cr2O72) oxidize chloride ion to chlorine gas in acidic solution?
