Calculate the values of Delta G and Ecell for the following reaction, label the half reactions as anode and cathode.
2Ag(s) + Cu2+ (aq) > 2 Ag+ (aq) + Cu(s)
* My main question lies in which is cathode and anode...it seems that the Ag half reaction (2Ag(s) > 2Ag+ +2e-) signifies Ag(s) loosing electrons causing the positive reactant, this leads me to think loss of electrons/this is the oxidation half reaction, therefore Ag(s) is the reduction agent and anode with a given appendix value of 0.800V, BUT when I look at my professors notes he signifies that the Cu2+(aq) half reaction (Cu2+ + 2e- > Cu(s)) is the anode with a appendix value of 0.342V.
To me the Cu2+ gains electrons and is the reduction reaction/cathode - why am I wrong, is it because the Ag value is the more positive of the two? and if this is so... When am I to determine the cathode/anode label with the "more positive" logic?

An ideal gas (which is is a hypothetical gas that conforms to the laws governing gas behavior) confined to a container with a massless piston at the top. (Figure 2) A massless wire is attached to the piston. When an external pressure of 2.00 atm is applied to the wire, the gas compresses from 4.90 to 2.45L . When the external pressure is increased to 2.50 atm, the gas further compresses from 2.45 to 1.96L .
In a separate experiment with the same initial conditions, a pressure of 2.50 atm was applied to the ideal gas, decreasing its volume from 4.90 to 1.96L in one step.
If the final temperature was the same for both processes, what is the difference between q for the two-step process and q for the one-step process in joules?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Two chemicals A and B are combined to form a
chemical C. The rate, or velocity, of the reaction is
proportional to the product of the instantaneous amounts of
A and B not converted to chemical C.
Initially, there are 100 grams of A and 50 grams of
B, and for each gram of B, 2 grams of A
is used. It is observed that 25 grams of C is formed in 10
minutes. How much is formed in 40 minutes? (Round your answer to
one decimal place.)
What is the limiting amount of C after a long time?
How much of chemicals A and B remains after a
long time?
t = min
At what time is chemical C half-formed?

Consider a 300mL sample of 0.250M HCN (Ka=4.9x10^-10). To find the pH, do you need an ice table, can you use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, or something else? If an ice table, will it be a Ka or Kb equilibrium? Can you use the small x assumption? Is this a buffer? If something else, then how?
(Need Help Please!!! If possible could you work it out so i can know how to do it)
