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.

Write a formula for the compound that forms from potassium and chromate.
JulsSmile [24]
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!

Why must the line of origin be drawn in pencil instead of pen on the chromatography strip?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Because if you use pen, your chromatography will separate also the colors of the pen and not just your sample.

Explanation:

The pencil since is carbon as simple element, is solid and is not dissolved in solvents like commonly are used in paper chromatography, it will not interrupt the separation of the compounds in your mixture, otherwise, your results will be confuse because you are not sure if the spots that you observe is due to the ink pen or due to the mixture that you want to separate.
