Answer:

Cell potential at 25 C is 1.69 V

Explanation:

The given half cell reactions are:

Oxidation (Anode)

Pb(s)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq, 0.16 M )+2e^{-}-------(1)

where E°= -0.13 V

Reduction (Cathode):

MnO_{4}^{-}(aq, 1.70 M )+4H^{+}(aq, 1.9 M )+3e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}(s)+2H_{2}O(l)------(2)

where E°= +1.51 V

The net reaction is obtained by:

Eq (1) * 3 + Eq(2) * 2

2MnO_{4}^{-}(aq, 1.70 M )+8H^{+}(aq, 1.9 M )+3Pb(s)\rightarrow  2MnO_{2}(s)+4H_{2}O(l)+3Pb^{2+}(aq, 0.16 M)

The value of E°(cell) is:

E_{cell}^{0}=E_{cathode}^{0}+E_{anode}^{0}=1.51-(-0.13)=1.64 V

The E(cell) at 25 C is calculated based on the nernst equation:

E_{cell}=E_{cell}^{0}-\frac{0.02568}{n}ln\frac{[Pb^{2+}]^{3}}{[H^{+}]^{8}[MnO_{4}^{-}]^{2}}

where n = number of electrons = 6

E_{cell}=1.64-\frac{0.02568}{6}ln\frac{[0.16]^{3}}{[1.9]^{8}[1.70]^{2}}=1.69 V

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions sn and ag
loris [4]
Balance each one by adding electrons to make the charges on both sides the same:

Sn--> Sn2+ + 2 e-
Ag+ + 1 e- --> Ag

Now, you have to have the same number of electrons in the two half-reactions, so multiply the second one by 2 to get:

2 Ag+ + 2 e- --> 2 Ag

Now, just add the two half reactions together, cancelling anything that's the same on both sides:

2 Ag+ + Sn --> Sn2+ + 2 Ag

And you're done.

PLEASE<br> What is the H30+ concentration of a solution with a pH of 3?
Alenkinab [10]
PH = -log[H3O+]
Solving for [H3O+] gives
[H3O+] = 10^-pH
             = 10^-3 
or 1x10^-3 M
