Question

what is the balanced overall reaction that occurs as the cell operates? be sure to provide both the oxidation and reduction half-reactions in your work.

Pt(s)/PCl3(g),POCL3(g)/H+(aq)/H2(g)/Pt(s)

NCE OF IMPROPER SCIENTIFIC NOTATION WILL RESULT IN THE L E(3) POINTS pts) All parts of this question relate to the electrochemical cell represented by hat is the balanced overall reaction that occurs as the cell operates? Be sure to p th the oxidation and reduction half reactions in your work ction tha,occurs at the anode in the cell? Oi'

Explanation / Answer

Pt(s)/PCl3(g),POCL3(g)/H+(aq)/H2(g)/Pt(s)

oxidation: PCl3(g)+H2O(l) ----> POCl3(g) + 2H+(aq) + 2e-

Reduction : 2H+(aq) + 2e-   ----> H2(g)

in acidic medium :

PCl3(g)+H2O(l) ----> POCl3(g) + 2H+(aq) + 2e-

2H+(aq) + 2e-   ----> H2(g)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

PCl3(g)+H2O(l)   ----> POCl3(g) + H2(g)
