2. Your company currently uses a process with a similar cost of materials that has an

(a)   Write the balanced half-reactions for the overall process:

Oxidation: Se^2- (aq) → Se (s) + 2e-

Reduction: 2So3^2- (aq) + 3H2O (l) + 4e- → S2O3^2- + 6OH- (aq)

(b)   Assuming E sulfite is 0.57 V, compute E selenium:

E anode = E cathode – E cell

= -0.57 – 0.35

= -.092

Answer:- 64015 J

Solution: The calorimeter contains 4250 mL of water, which is at a temperature of 22.55 degrees Celsius.

The water's density is 1 gram per mL.

Thus, the mass of water = = 4250 grams.

After introducing the hot copper bar, the final temperature of the water reaches 26.15 degrees Celsius.

Thus, for the water = 26.15 - 22.55 = 3.60 degrees Celsius.

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 .

To determine the heat absorbed by the water, we can use the following formula:

where q represents heat energy, m refers to mass, and c indicates specific heat.

Now let's substitute the values into the equation to perform the calculations:

q = 64015 J

Therefore, the water absorbs 64015 J of heat.

Explanation:

It is established that 1 gram is equivalent to 1000 milligrams. We can express this mathematically in the following way.

              or

Thus, to convert grams to milligrams, we simply multiply the number by 1000. Conversely, for converting milligrams back to grams, we divide by 1000.
