Consider a zinc-copper electrochemical cell in which the half-reaction Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ occurs at the anode and the half-reaction Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s) occurs at the cathode. If the concentration of Zn²⁺(aq) in the anode compartment is 0.500 M and the concentration of Cu²⁺(aq) in the cathode compartment is 0.0250 M, calculate the current density when a current of 2.50 A is passed through the cell. (Assume that the temperature and pressure are constant and that the electrodes are inert.)

Consider a zinc electrode in a concentration cell that is connected to a copper electrode through a salt bridge. During the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of ZnSO4, a current of 2.5 A is passed through the cell for 20 minutes. Calculate the mass of zinc deposited on the electrode during this time assuming 100% efficiency. (Molar mass of zinc = 65.38 g/mol)

Consider a solution of gas X in contact with a solid surface at a constant temperature. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm for this system is represented by the equation /= _/(1+), where is the partial pressure of gas X, is the volume of the gas, _ is the saturation pressure of the gas, and is the Langmuir adsorption constant. Suppose a student conducts an experiment to investigate the Langmuir adsorption isotherm for gas X on a particular solid surface. They measure the partial pressure of the gas at various volumes and obtain the following results: (mL/g) : 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 (atm) : 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 Using these values, what is the Langmuir adsorption constant, , for the given system?

Consider a gas confined to a container that can be divided into two compartments of equal volume. If one compartment initially contains N1 identical molecules at energy E1 and the other compartment contains N2 identical molecules at energy E2, what is the probability that the molecules will eventually be distributed equally between the two compartments? Use statistical mechanics and thermodynamic ensembles to calculate this probability.

Consider a container separated into two compartments by a barrier. One compartment has a gas at a pressure of 1 atm and the other compartment is empty. The barrier has a small hole in it, which allows the gas to diffuse from one compartment to another. If the rate of diffusion of the gas is 0.2 mL/min and the molar mass of the gas is 28g/mol, what is the mass of gas transferred through the hole in 5 hours?
