Using the following standard reduction potentials, Fe3+(aq) + e- → Fe2+(aq) E° = +0.77 V Ni2+(aq) + 2 e- → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V ca

lculate the standard cell potential for the galvanic cell reaction given below, and determine whether or not this reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions. Ni2+(aq) + 2 Fe2+(aq) → 2 Fe3+(aq) + Ni(s)

<u>Answer:</u> The above reaction is non-spontaneous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2Fe^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}(aq.)+Ni(s)

Here, nickel is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons and iron is getting oxidized because it is loosing electrons.

We know that:

E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}=0.77V\\E^o_{(Ni^{2+}/Ni)}=-0.23V

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

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

E^o_{cell}=-0.23-0.77=-1.0V

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}

As, the standard electrode potential of the cell is coming out to be negative for the above cell. Thus, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction will become positive making the reaction non-spontaneous.

Hence, the above reaction is non-spontaneous.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

b. Conducts electricity when dissolved in water

Explanation:

Iron(II) chloride, is the chemical compound with formula FeCl2.

It is a solid with a high melting point of about 677 degree Celsius or 950 K when in anhydrous form but have lower melting point in hydrated form.

The compound is often off-white. FeCl2 crystallizes from water as the greenish tetrahydrate, which is the form that is most commonly encountered in the laboratory.

There is also a dihydrate. The compound is highly soluble in water, giving pale green solutions.
