Use the standard half-cell potentials listed below to calculate the standard cell potential for the following reaction occurring in an electrochemical cell at 25°C. (The equation is balanced.) 3 Cl2(g) + 2 Fe(s) → 6 Cl-(aq) + 2 Fe3+(aq) Cl2(g) + 2 e- → 2 Cl-(aq) E° = +1.36 V Fe3+(aq) + 3 e- → Fe(s) E° = -0.04 V

Respuesta :

The cell potential for the electrochemical cell has been 1.40 V.

The standard reaction for the cell will be:

[tex]\rm 3\;Cl_2\;+\;2\;Fe\;\rightarrow\;6\;Cl^-\;+\;2\;Fe^3^+[/tex]

The half-reaction of the cells has been:

[tex]\rm Fe^3^+\;+\;3\;e^-\;\rightarrow\;Fe[/tex]

The potential for this reduction has been -0.04 V.

[tex]\rm Cl_2\;+\;2\;e^-\;\rightarrow\;2\;Cl^-[/tex]

The potential for the reduction has been 1.36 V.

The cell potential has been: Potential of reduction - Potential of oxidation

Cell potential = 1.36 - (-0.04) V

Cell potential = 1.40 V.

The cell potential for the electrochemical cell has been 1.40 V.
