Calculate the cell potential E at 25°C for the reaction 2 Al(s) + 3 Fe2+(aq) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 3 Fe(s) given that [Fe 2+] = 0.020 M

, [Al 3+] = 0.10 M, and the standard reduction potential is -1.66 V for Al 3+/Al and -0.45 V for Fe 2+/Fe.

Answer:

1.18 V

Explanation:

The given cell is:

Al(s)/Al^{3+}(0.10M)||Fe^{2+}(0.020M)/Fe(s)

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

Oxidation half reaction: Al(s)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(0.10M)+2e^-;E^o_{Al^{3+}/Al}=-1.66V

Reduction half reaction: Fe^{2+}(0.020M)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s);E^o_{Fe^{2+}/Fe}=-0.45V

Multiply Oxidation half reaction by 2 and Reduction half reaction by 3

Net reaction: 2Al(s)+3Fe^{2+}(0.020M)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(0.10M)+3Fe(s)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=-0.45-(-1.66)=1.21V

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Al^{3+}]^2}{[Fe^{2+}]^3}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = ?V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.21 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 6

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=1.21-\frac{0.059}{6}\times \log(\frac{0.10^2}{0.020^3})\\\\E_{cell}=1.18V

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

6 C(s) +  3 O₂(g) + 2 Fe₂O₃(s) →  4 Fe(s) + 6 CO₂(g)

Explanation:

Iron can be formed in two steps.

Step 1: 2 C(s) + O₂(g) → 2 CO(g)

Step 2: Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)

In order to get the net chemical equation, we will multiply the first step by 3, the second step by 2, and then add them.

6 C(s) +  3 O₂(g) → 6 CO(g)

+

2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 6 CO(g) → 4 Fe(s) + 6 CO₂(g)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 C(s) +  3 O₂(g) + 2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 6 CO(g) → 6 CO(g) + 4 Fe(s) + 6 CO₂(g)

6 C(s) +  3 O₂(g) + 2 Fe₂O₃(s) →  4 Fe(s) + 6 CO₂(g)
