Chloroform, long used as an anesthetic and now considered carcinogenic, has a heat of vaporization of 31.4 kJ/mol. During vaporization, its entropy increases by 94.2 J/mol.K. Therefore, select the alternative that indicates the temperature, in degrees Celsius, at which chloroform begins to boil under a pressure of 1 atm.
A) 28
B) 40
C) 52
D) 60
E) 72
If we assume a system with an anodic overpotential, the variation of n as a function
of current density:
1. at low fields is linear 2. at higher fields, it follows Tafel's law
Obtain the range of current densities for which the overpotential has the same value
when calculated for 1 and 2 cases (maximum relative difference of 5% compared to
the behavior for higher fields).
To which overpotential range does this correspond?
Data: i = 1.5 mA cm², T = 300°C, B = 0.64, R = 8.314 J K1 mol-1 and F = 96485 C mol-1.
