A copper-nickel (35 wt % - 65 wt %) alloy is corroded in an oxygen-concentration cell using boiling water. What volume of oxygen gas (at 1 atm) must be consumed at the cathode to corrode 54 g of the alloy? (Assume only divalent ions are produced.) Express your answer to three significant figures.
The corrosion reaction
and the gaseous reduction reaction is the production (and consumption) of electrons:
Cu ---> Cu2+ + 2e-
and
O2 + 2H2O-----> 4e- + 4OH-.
One mole of Cu produces 2 moles of electrons, but only 1 mole
of
Cu2+
O2 gas is needed to consume 2 moles of electrons. Using data
from
, we can write
#moles of O2 gas = 1/2 mole Cu
mass of Cu 0.35*54 =18.9 g
molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol
moles of Cu = mass of Cu/Molar mass of Cu
=18.9/63.55
=0.297 moles Cu
Thus the No. of Cu present is 0.297 mole Cu
so , 0.297/2 moles of O2 will be required for corrosion
0.297/2 = 0.1487 moles of O2
volume of Oxygen gas can be found by ideal gas law
V=nRT/P
=0.1487*8.314*(373)/101325
=0.00455m3
this is how we can solve for alloy
similarly for Ni
Ni in layer = 0.65*54=35.1 g
moles of Ni = mass /molar mass =35.1/58.7=0.5979 moles of Ni
each mole of Ni will requires 0.5 moles of O2
Oxygen required = 0.2989 moles
Volume = 0.2989*8.314*373/101325
=0.00914 m3
total volume of oxygen needed = 0.00455+0.00914=0.01369 m3
