Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.39SP
A potential replacement for the chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants that harm the Earth’s protective ozone layer is a compound called E143a, or trifluoromethyl methyl ether, F3COCH3. Draw an electron-dot structure for F3COCH3, and predict the geometry around both the carbons and the oxygen.

Topic: Photochemistry and Photophysics of Supramolecules
Two cations that exchange an electron in an interface, the exchange density is worth 1.39 mA/cm2 and the current density is worth 15 mA/cm2 at 25°C. If the overvoltage is 0.14 V, calculate the reaction rate and symmetry factor. Data: R = 8,314 J mol-1 k-1: F = 96500 C
With the help of the Tafel line, it is estimated that the interchange density of the VO2+/VO2+ system on the carbon paper has a value of 3 mA cm-2. Calculate a) the current density if the voltage has a value of 1.6 mV and the temperature is 25°C. b) the beta value of the anódico process if the Tafel pendulum is 0.6 V at 25°C. Data: R = 8.314 JK-1mol-1, y F = 96485 C mol-1.
