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.

Which corresponds to a pressure of 1.23 atm??
Vadim26 [7]

Atmospheric pressure<span>, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure exerted by the weight of air in the </span>atmosphere of Earth<span> (or that of another planet)</span>

1 atm is equivalent to = 101325 Pa

= 760 mmHg

= 760 torr

= 1.01325 bar

So 1.23 atm is equal to

= 124629.8 Pa

= 934.8 mmHg

= 934.8 torr

<span>= 1.2462 bar</span>
