Consider the reaction of metallic copper with iron(!!) to give copper(ll) and ironin 0.77V Fe* (aq) + e-Fe (aq) Cup (aq) + 2e --

frosja888 [35]

Answer :

(a) The anode and cathode will be $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$

and $E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}$ respectively.

(b) The emf of cell potential is 1.022 V

Explanation :

(a) The standard reduction potentials for iron and copper are:

$E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}=0.77V\\E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}=0.34V$

In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

From the standard reduction potentials we conclude that, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

So, iron will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Copper will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The given cell reactions are:

Oxidation half reaction (anode): $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode): $Fe^{3+}+1e^-\rightarrow Fe^{2+}$

Thus, the anode and cathode will be $E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}$

and $E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}$ respectively.

(b) Now we have to calculate the potential of a cell.

Oxidation half reaction (anode): $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode): $Fe^{3+}+1e^-\rightarrow Fe^{2+}$

In order to balance that electrons, we will multiple the reduction reaction by 2, we get:

Oxidation half reaction (anode): $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction (cathode): $2Fe^{3+}+2e^-\rightarrow 2Fe^{2+}$

The overall cell reaction will be,

$2Fe^{3+}+Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2Fe^{2+}$

$E^o_{[Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}]}=2\times 0.77V=1.54V$

$E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=0.34V$

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

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

$E^o=E^o_{[Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}$

$E^o=1.54V-(0.34V)=1.20V$

Now we have to calculate the cell potential.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Fe^{2+}]^2[Cu^{2+}]}{[Fe^{3+}]^2}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = emf of the cell = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=1.20-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.20)^2(0.25)}{(0.0001)^2}$

$E_{cell}=1.022V$

Therefore, the emf of cell potential is 1.022 V

Could acetic acid be used in the esterification, instead of acetyl chloride? Why or why not?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Yes, acetic acid could be used, but it would not be as effective as acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride. ... However, the acetic anhydride would still be reacting with an alcohol, so nothing changes in that respect. Also, the reaction would need to be done in basic solution.
