Calculate the value of E°cell for a galvanic cell based on the following half reactions. Be sure to report your answer with the correct significant figures and units. Include a space between the value and unit. E° (V) Ni2+(aq) + 2e– → Ni(s) −0.257 Cr3+(aq) + 3e– → Cr(s) −0.744

Two moles of potassium chloride and three moles of oxygen are produced from the decomposition of two moles of potassium chlorate, kcos3(s). write the balanced equation. how many moles of oxygen are produced from 12 moles of potassium chlorate

Challenge question: this question is worth 6 points. as you saw in problem 9 we can have species bound to a central metal ion. these species are called ligands. in the past we have assumed all the d orbitals in some species are degenerate; however, they often are not. sometimes the ligands bound to a central metal cation can split the d orbitals. that is, some of the d orbitals will be at a lower energy state than others. ligands that have the ability to cause this splitting are called strong field ligands, cnâ’ is an example of these. if this splitting in the d orbitals is great enough electrons will fill low lying orbitals, pairing with other electrons in a given orbital, before filling higher energy orbitals. in question 7 we had fe2+, furthermore we found that there were a certain number (non-zero) of unpaired electrons. consider now fe(cn)6 4â’: here we also have fe2+, but in this case all the electrons are paired, yielding a diamagnetic species. how can you explain this?
