A metal electrode immersed in a solution is used to convert a chemical reaction into an electric current. The electrode potential is measured as the voltage difference between the metal and the solution. The cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes are then calculated in order to determine the rate of the chemical reaction occurring at the electrode. Given a metal electrode immersed in a 0.1 M solution of AgNO3, the cathodic and anodic Tafel slopes are determined to be 120 mV/decade and 110 mV/decade, respectively. Calculate the exchange current density for the reaction occurring at the electro

A gas is contained in a cylinder at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 25°C. The cylinder is fitted with a piston that can be moved to change the volume. The gas is allowed to expand irreversibly to a final pressure of 0.5 atm, and the temperature is kept constant. Calculate the work done by the system, and determine if the process is endothermic or exothermic.
