Answer:
a. 1.23 V
b. No maximum
Explanation:
Required:
a. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?
b. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?
The standard cell potential (E°cell) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.
E°cell = E°red, cat - E°red, an
If E°cell must be at least 1.10 V (E°cell > 1.10 V),
E°red, cat - E°red, an > 1.10 V
E°red, cat - 0.13V > 1.10 V
E°red, cat > 1.23 V
The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.23 V while there is no maximum standard reduction potential.
Hello!
The compound that forms from potassium and chromate is Potassium Chromate (K₂CrO₄)
This compound has a yellow lime color and is used in enamels, leather finishes, stainless steels and for the identification of silver ion in a silver nitrate solution. It is a powerful oxidizing agent and is produced by the treatment of potassium chromate with potassium hydroxide. It is a very toxic compound an is a known carcinogenic agent.
Have a good day!
