Consider the following half reactions and their standard reduction potential values to answer the following questions.

Cu2+ (aq) + e- Cu+ (aq)E° = 0.15 V
Br2 (l) + 2e- 2Br- (aq) E° = 1.08 V

i) State which reaction occurs at the anode and which at the cathode. [2 marks]
ii) Write the overall cell reaction. [2 marks]
iii) Calculate the value of E°cell. [2 marks]
iv) Calculate the value ΔG° [2 marks]
v) What is the value of Kc at 25°C?

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
