A student is studying the electrochemical behavior of a certain metal ion in a solution of varying pH values. They have measured the anodic and cathodic Tafel slopes for the electrode reaction at each pH. The anodic Tafel slope values range from 60 mV/decade to 90 mV/decade, and the corresponding cathodic Tafel slope values range from 50 mV/decade to 70 mV/decade. Is this metal ion undergoing a one-electron or a two-electron transfer reaction? Justify your answer.

A student is studying a chemical reaction that goes to completion in a beaker placed on a heated surface at a constant temperature. After the reaction has come to completion, the student removes the beaker from the heated surface and allows it to cool. Using the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and irreversible processes, how can the student calculate the amount of heat that was transferred during the process? Specifically, what factors must be taken into account in order to accurately calculate the heat transfer?
