What would be the voltage (Ecell) of a voltaic cell comprised of Cr (s)/Cr3+(aq) and Fe (s)/Fe2+(aq) if the concentrations of th

e ions in solution were [Cr3+] = 0.75 M and [Fe2+] = 0.25 M at 298K?

Answer:

0.35 V

Explanation:

(a) Standard reduction potentials

                            <u> E°/V</u>

Fe²⁺ + 2e- ⇌ Fe; -0.41

Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⇌ Cr; -0.74

(b) Standard cell potential

                                             <u>  E°/V</u>

2Cr³⁺ + 6e⁻ ⇌ 2Cr;               +0.74

<u>3Fe  ⇌ 3Fe²⁺ + 6e-;             </u>  <u>-0.41 </u>

2Cr³⁺ + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺; +0.33

3. Cell potential

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e⁻ ⇌ 2Cr

<u>3Fe  ⇌ 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e- </u>

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹)

The concentrations are not 1 mol·L⁻¹, so we must use the Nernst equation

E = E^{\circ} - \dfrac{RT}{zF}\ln Q

(a) Data

  E° = 0.33 V

   R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

   T = 298 K

   z = 6

   F = 96 485 C/mol

(b) Calculations:  

Q = \dfrac{\text{[Fe}^{2+}]^{3}}{ \text{[Cr}^{3+}]^{2}} = \dfrac{0.25^{3}}{ 0.75^{2}} =\dfrac{0.0156}{0.562} = 0.0278\\\\E = 0.33 - \left (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{6 \times 96485}\right ) \ln(0.0278)\\\\=0.33 -0.00428 \times (-3.58) = 0.33 + 0.0153 = \textbf{0.35 V}\\\text{The cell potential is }\large\boxed{\textbf{0.35 V}}

In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the p
Flura [38]

Answer:1.

Explanation: This reaction is catalyzes by pyruvate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate being the end product of glycolysis has many fates after glycolysis,one of which is to enter the TCA(Tricarboxylic acid cycle) cycle. It is first converted to actetate by the action of pyruvate dehydrogenase. This enzyme converts pyruvate to acetate releasing CO2 and NADH because this oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is coupled with reduction of NAD+ which can feed into the electron transport chain.
