Chapter 14.1, Problem 3TY

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The potential (in volts) needed for $1.00\mu {\text{mol e}}^{-}$ to do $1.00\text{ J}$ of work has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Relation between work and voltage:

The work done (in Joules) when a charge, q (in Coulombs) moves through a potential difference, E (in volts) is given by the relation,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Work}\text{= E }·\text{ q}\\ \text{Joules}\text{ Volts}\text{ Coulombs}\end{array}$

To Calculate: The potential (in volts) needed for $1.00\mu {\text{mol e}}^{-}$ to do $1.00\text{ J}$ of work
