0.18 V

Explanation:-

$Cd/Cd^{2+}(0.10M)//Ni^{2+}(0.50M)?Ni$

Here Cd undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. nickel undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

$E^0_(Cd^{2+}/Cd)$ =-0.40V[/tex]

$E^0_(Ni^{2+}/Ni)$ =-0.24V[/tex]

$Cd+Ni^{2+}\rightarrow Cd^{2+}+Ni$

Here Cd undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. nickel undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

$E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}$

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials.

$E^0=E^0_{[Ni^{2+}/Ni]}- E^0_{[Cd^{2+}/Cd]}$

E^0=-0.24-(-0.40)=0.16V

Using Nernst equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cd^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential = 0.16 V

$E_{cell}=0.16-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{[0.10]}{[0.5]}$

$E_{cell}=0.18V$

Thus the potential of the following electrochemical cell is 0.18 V.

Answer from: Quest

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

explanation

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the $3d$ have energy higher than those in the $4 s$ orbital while lower than those of the $4 p$ orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the $4s$ orbital is therefore filled right after $3p$ orbitals and before $3 d$ orbitals.

potassium has electron configuration $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{1}$ and calcium $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{2}$ . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{2} \; 3d^{1}$ and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the $ns^{2} \; (n-1) p^{1}$ and should be highlighted as well.

Lab reagent, hypothesis test.a reference solution used as a lab reagent is purported to have a concentration of 5 mg/dl. six samples are taken from this solution and the following concentrations are recorded: (5.32, 4.88, 5.10, 4.73, 5.15, 4.75) mg/dl.these six measurements are assumed to be an srs of all possible measurements from solution.they are also assumed to have a standard deviation of 0.2, a normal distributin, and a mean concentration equal to the true concentration of the solution.carry out a significance test to determine whether these six measurements provide reliable evidence that the true concentration of the solution is actually not 5 mg/dl.
