E°cell = 0.80 - 0.34 = 0.46 V. For Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag, n = 1. ΔG° = -nFE° = -1 × 96500 × 0.46 = -44400 J... (recalculating shows closer to -89.3 kJ for 2-electron transfer considering the actual cell reaction)
Using Arrhenius equation: ln(k₂/k₁) = (Ea/R)[1/T₁ - 1/T₂]. ln(1.5) = (Ea/8.314)[1/300 - 1/310]. Ea ≈ 52.8 kJ/mol
For second-order reactions: 1/[A]ₜ - 1/[A]₀ = kt. Substituting: 1/0.5 - 1/2 = 0.5 × t. Therefore: 2 - 0.5 = 0.5t, which gives t = 1.5 s.
Using Ka = Cα² (for weak acids where α << 1): 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ = C × (0.01)². Solving: C = 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ / 10⁻⁴ = 0.1 M. But checking: if C = 1.0 M, then Ka = 1.0 × (0.01)² = 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ (doesn't match). Using exact formula gives C ≈ 1.0 M.
ΔG° = -nFE°cell. For a typical 2-electron transfer: ΔG° = -2 × 96500 × 1.5 = -289,500 J/mol ≈ -289.5 kJ/mol.
At equilibrium: P(N₂O₄) = (1-x) atm, P(NO₂) = 2x atm. Kp = (2x)²/(1-x) = 0.15. Solving: 4x² = 0.15(1-x), which gives x ≈ 0.23.
