A voltaic cell is constructed using Hg/Hg+2 for one half-cell and Cr/Cr+3 for the other half-cell. The half-cells are at standard conditions and contain equal-mass electrodes and the same volume of solutions. Reference: Cr+3(aq) + 3 e- ---> Cr(s) E0 = -0.74 V; Hg+2(aq) + 2 e- ---> Hg(l) E0 = +0.80 V

(a) Write the balanced net ionic equation for the spontaneous reaction produced in the cell.

(b) Calculate the value of E0 for the spontaneous reaction.

(c) What is the value of the standard free-energy change, delta G0, for the spontaneous reaction? Use appropriate units with your answer.

(d) If the cell operates until [Cr+3] is 1.09 M in the Cr/Cr+3 half-cell, what is [Hg+2] in the Hg/Hg+2 half-cell?

(e) In another voltaic cell with the same half-cells, [Hg+2] is 1.00 M and [Cr+3] is 0.050 M. How should Ecell for this cell compare to the value in (b)? Justify your answer

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

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 have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

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

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration 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 and should be highlighted as well.

i think its 100

i hope this !
