A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential +0.80 V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a. Minimum 1.70 V

b. There is no maximum.

Explanation:

We can solve this question by remembering that the cell potential is given by the formula

ε⁰ cell = ε⁰ reduction - ε⁰ oxidation

Now the problem states the cell must provide at least 0.9 V and that the reduction potential of the oxidized species 0.80 V, thus

ε⁰ reduction - ε⁰ oxidation ≥ ε⁰ cell

Since ε⁰ oxidation is by definition the negative of ε⁰ reduction , we have

ε⁰ reduction - ( 0.80 V ) ≥ 0.90 V

⇒ ε⁰ reduction ≥ 1.70 V

Therefore,

(a) The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.70 V

(b) There is no maximum standard reduction potential since it is stated in the question that we want to have a cell that provides at leat 0.9 V

What happens when magnesium reacts with iodine to make magnesium iodide?

I am Lyosha [343]

Explanation:

Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. On the other hand, atomic number of iodine is 53 and its electronic configuration is $[Kr]4d^{10}5s^{2}5p^{5}$ .

Hence, there are 7 valence electrons in an iodine atom and there are 2 valence electrons in a magnesium atom.

So, one atom of iodine requires one electron from a donor atom to complete its octet. But one magnesium atom contains two valence electrons.

Therefore, one magnesium atom will combine with two iodine atoms to result in the formation of magnesium iodide as follows.

$Mg^{2+} + 2I^{-} \rightarrow MgI_{2}$

Therefore, an ionic bond will be formed when magnesium reacts with iodine to make magnesium iodide.
