Answer:
The cell potential is 0.609 V. Given E > 0 the electrochemical cell is spontaneous as written.
Explanation:
Let's consider the oxidation and reduction half-reactions and the global reaction.
Anode (oxidation): Sn²⁺(0.0023 M) ⇒ Sn⁴⁺(0.13 M) + 2 e⁻
Cathode (reduction): 2 Fe³⁺(0.11 M) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ 2 Fe²⁺(0.0037 M)
Global reaction: Sn²⁺(0.0023 M) + 2 Fe³⁺(0.11 M) ⇒ Sn⁴⁺(0.13 M) + 2 Fe²⁺(0.0037 M)
The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.
E° = E°red,cat - E°red,an
E° = 0.771 V - 0.154 V = 0.617 V
The Nernst equation allows us to calculate the cell potential (E) under the given conditions.
The cell potential is 0.609 V. Given E > 0 the electrochemical cell is spontaneous as written.
Answer:
Explanation:
The spectator ions are the ions that are on both sides of the equation.
They are present at the beginning and at the end of the reaction. They don't take part in the reaction. They are simply "spectators" watching the other ions "do their thing."
