Answer:

The Emf of the given cell at [Fe2+] = 2.0 M and [Fe3+] = 1.9 M is 0.48 V

Explanation:

The half cell reaction can be written as :

Anode-Half (oxidation) :

Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Fe^{3+} + 1e^{-} ......E = 0.77 V

(multiply this equation by 4 to balance the electrons)

Cathode-half (reduction)

4H^{+} +O_{2} + 4e^{-} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O....E= 1.23 V

E^{0}_{cell} = E_{cathode} - E_{anode}

E^{0}_{cell} = 1.23 - 0.77

E^{0}_{cell} = 0.46 V

According to Nernst Equation

E_{cell} = E^{0} - \frac{RT}{nF}lnQ

E_{cell} = E^{0} - \frac{0.059}{n}logQ

n = number of electron transferred in the cell reaction = 4

The balanced equation is :

4Fe^{2+} + 4H^{+} +O_{2} \rightarrow 4Fe^{3+} + 2H_{2}O

E_{cell} = 0.46 - \frac{0.059}{4}logQ

log Q = \frac{[Fe^{3+}]^{4}}{[Fe^{2+}]^{4}}

log Q = \left ( \frac{[Fe^{3+}]}{[Fe^{2+}]} \right )^{4}

log Q = \left ( \frac{1.9}{2.0} \right )^{4}

Insert the value of log Q in Nernst  Equation:

E_{cell} = 0.46 - \frac{0.059}{4} log\left ( \frac{1.9}{2.0} \right )^{4}

(using :log^{a}b = a\log b

)

E_{cell} = 0.46 - log\frac{1.9}{2.0}

E_{cell} = 0.46 - log(0.95)

E_{cell} = 0.46 -(-0.0227)

E_{cell} = 0.482 V

Vikki [24]

Answer:

1.58×10E18

Explanation:

Since we have the reduction potentials we could make decisions regarding which one will be the anode or cathode. Evidently, bromine having the more positive reduction potential will be the cathode while the iodine will be the anode.

E°cell= 1.07- 0.53= 0.54 V

E°cell= 0.0592/n logK

0.54 = 0.0592/2 logK

logK= 0.54/0.0296

logK= 18.2

K= Antilog (18.2)

K= 1.58×10^18
