Which chemical species is reduced most easily?

What is the value of E^ϴcell/V observed for a cell constructed from the following half-cells. (These are the half-cells that are put together in a car battery (6 cells in series)?

PbSO_4(s) + 2e^- <=> Pb_(s) + SO₄^2-_(aq) E^ϴ/V = -0.36

PbO_2(s) + SO₄^2-_(aq)+4H_(aq) + 2e^- <=> PbSO_4(s) + 2H₂O(l) E^ϴ/V = +1.69

Which chemical species is the most powerful reducing agent?

Work out the ratio of the species in the following half-equation.

Cu => Cu²⁺ + e^-

Calculate the value of the enthalpy change associated with the following equation?

3Rb_(g)=> 3Rb_(s)

Consider the following equilibrium for the Haber-Bosch process:

3H_2(g) + N_2(g) <=>2NH_3(g)

32.0 mol of H₂ was combined with 12.0 mol of N₂ and the mixture sealed and pressurised in a vessel of volume 2.00 dm³. The mixture was left until no further observable change in composition took place. At this point, 4.00 mol of NH₃ was found to be present in the mixture. The pressure was recorded as 200 000 kPa.

Calculate the value of K_c (in units: mol^-2 dm⁶) under these conditions.

For the equilibrium: CaCO_3(s) <=> CaO_(s) + CO_2(g)

What is the value of the rate constant, k for this reaction at this temperature?

Which of these statements about catalysts are true?

(i) A catalyst speeds up a forward reaction but slows down the reverse reaction

(ii) With a catalyst the enthalpy change for the reaction becomes more negative

(iii) With a catalyst the pathway for the reverse reaction has a higher activation energy

(iv) With a catalyst the pathway for the forward reaction has a lower activation energy
