Aelectrolytic cell is set up as was done in this experiment but with a different metal. an average current of 150.1 ma is delivered for 17 minutes and 42 seconds. the cathode gains 0.1641 g in mass. if there are three moles of electrons transferred per mole of the metal, what is the molar mass of the metal?

88.614 gm/mol

Explanation:

amount of charge passed through the cell

= 150.1×10^-3 A×17.42 min× 60 = 156.88C = 156.88/96500 C/F

=1.62×10^-3 F

molar mass of the metal = 0.1641 gm/3mole metal/F × 1.62×10^-3 F =88.614 gm/mol

explanation:

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
