Arrange the following redox couples in the increasing order of their reducing strength:
$$\begin{array}{ll} {[\mathrm{A}]=\mathrm{Cu} / \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}} & \mathrm{E}^0=-0.34 \mathrm{~V} \\ {[\mathrm{~B}]=\mathrm{Ag} / \mathrm{Ag}^{+}} & \mathrm{E}^0=-0.8 \mathrm{~V} \\ {[\mathrm{C}]=\mathrm{Ca} / \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}} & \mathrm{E}^0=+2.87 \mathrm{~V} \\ {[\mathrm{D}]=\mathrm{Cr} / \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}} & \mathrm{E}^0=+0.74 \mathrm{~V} \end{array}$$
In the presence of a catalyst at a given temperature of $$27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$, the Activation energy of a specific reaction is reduced by $$100 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol}$$. What is the ratio between the rate constants for the catalysed $$(\mathrm{k}_2)$$ and uncatalysed $$(\mathrm{k}_1)$$ reactions?
5.0 moles of an Ideal gas at 3.0 atm pressure and $$27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$ is compressed isothermally to half its volume by application of an external pressure of $$3.5 \mathrm{~atm}$$. What is the amount of work done (in joules) on the gas? Given: $$1 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~atm}=101.3 \mathrm{~J}: \mathrm{R}=0.082 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~atm} \mathrm{~K}{ }^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$$
