Answer :

(a) Reaction at anode (oxidation) : 4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+4e^-  

(b) Reaction at cathode (reduction) : O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O  

(c) O_2+4H^++4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 2H_2O+4Fe^{3+}

(d) Yes, we have have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions.

Explanation :

The half reaction will be:

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+e^-     E^0_{anode}=+0.771V

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O     E^0_{cathode}=+1.23V

To balance the electrons we are multiplying oxidation reaction by 4 and then adding both the reaction, we get:

Part (a):

Reaction at anode (oxidation) : 4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+4e^-     E^0_{anode}=+0.771V

Part (b):

Reaction at cathode (reduction) : O_2+4H^++4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O     E^0_{cathode}=+1.23V

Part (c):

The balanced cell reaction will be,

O_2+4H^++4Fe^{2+}\rightarrow 2H_2O+4Fe^{3+}

Part (d):

Now we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

E^o=(1.23V)-(0.771V)=+0.459V

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the standard electrode potential must be positive.

So, we have have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions.

What is the oh- in a solution with a poh of 5.71
Rudik [331]

Answer:- The hydroxide ion concentration of the solution is 1.95*10^-^6 .

Solution:- The formula used to calculate pOH from hydroxide ion is:

pOH=-log[OH^-]

When pOH is given and we are asked to calculate hydroxide ion concentration then we multiply both sides by negative sign and take antilog and what we get on doing this is:

[OH^-]=10^-^p^O^H

pOH is given as 5.71 and we are asked to calculate hydrogen ion concentration. Let's plug in the given value in the formula:

[OH^-]=10^-^5^.^7^1

[OH^-] = 0.00000195 or 1.95*10^-^6

So, the hydroxide ion concentration of the solution is 1.95*10^-^6 .
