Consider the following reaction at 298.15 K: Co(s)+Fe2+(aq,1.47 M)⟶Co2+(aq,0.33 M)+Fe(s) If the standard reduction potential for

cobalt(II) is −0.28 V and the standard reduction potential for iron(II) is −0.447 V, what is the cell potential in volts for this cell? Report your answer with two significant figures.

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.186 V

Explanation:

The two hemirreactions are:

Reduction: Fe²⁺ + 2 e- → Fe(s)  

Oxidation : Co(s)  → Co²⁺ + 2 e-

Thus, we calculate the standard cell potential (Eº) from the difference between the reduction potentials of cobalt and iron, respectively,  as follows:

Eº = Eº(Fe²⁺/Fe(s)) - Eº(Co²⁺/Co(s)) = -0.28 V - (-0.447 V) = 0.167 V

Then, we use the Nernst equation to calculate the cell potential (E) at 298.15 K:

E= Eº - (0.0592 V/n) x log Q

Where:

n: number of electrons that are transferred in the reaction. In this case, n= 2.

Q: ratio between the concentrations of products over reactants, calculated as follows:

Q = \frac{ [Co^{2+} ]}{[Fe^{2+} ]} = \frac{0.33 M}{1.47 M} = 0.2244

Finally, we introduce Eº= 0.167 V, n= 2, Q=0.2244, to obtain E:

E= 0.167 V - (0.0592 V/2) x log (0.2244) = 0.186 V

Determine the electron geometry, molecular geometry and polarity of tecl6.
Delvig [45]
The electron geometry of TeCl6 is octahedral, while the molecular geometry is octahedral, non polar. 
Octahedral geometry or six electron pairs is the basic geometry for a molecule containing a central atom with six pairs of electrons, such as TeCl6 or SF6. As we replace bonding pairs with non bonding pairs the molecular geometry changes to square pyramidal to square planar.
