For the galvanic (voltaic) cell Fe(s) + Mn2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Mn(s) (E°= 0.77 V at 25°C), what is [Fe2+] if [Mn2+] = 0.040 M and E = 0.78 V? Assume T is 298 K

The Fe ion concentration in the galvanic cell has been 0.0186 M.

The Nernst equation has been used for the determination of the voltage of the galvanic cell.

It can be given as:

where, n = number of electrons transfer = 2

= initial voltage = 0.77 V

= cell voltage = 0.78 V

Iron ion concentration = 0.040 M

Susbstituting the values:

0.78 = 0.77 -

0.78 - 0.77 = -0.0296

-0.03378 =

antilog (-0.03378) =

Iron ion concentration = 0.0186 M

Thus, the Fe ion concentration in the galvanic cell has been 0.0186 M.

0.01836 M

Explanation:

Again the reaction equation is;

Fe(s) + Mn2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Mn(s)

E°cell= 0.77 V

Ecell= 0.78 V

[Mn2+] = 0.040 M

[Fe2+] = the unknown

n=2

From Nernst's equation;

Ecell= E°cell- 0.0592/n log Q

0.78= 0.77 - 0.0592/2 log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.78-0.77= - 0.0592/2 log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.01/ -0.0296= log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

-0.3378= log [Fe2+] /[0.040]

Antilog(-0.3378) = [Fe2+] /[0.040]

0.459= [Fe2+] /[0.040]

[Fe2+] = 0.459 × 0.040

[Fe2+] = 0.01836 M

im pretty sure its b

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
