Consider an electrochemical cell containing a copper electrode in a 0.5 M CuSO4 solution and a silver electrode in a 1.0 M AgNO3 solution. Calculate the current density at a temperature of 25°C given that the copper electrode has a surface area of 5 cm² and the silver electrode has a surface area of 10 cm². The standard reduction potentials for Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ are -0.34 V and 0.80 V, respectively. Use the Nernst equation to calculate the cell potential and then use Ohm's law to calculate the current density.

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 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?
