Question

19.   Given the following pair of half reactions, what is the standard cell potential, E°cell, for the spontaneous reaction?

Mn2+ (aq) + 2e- à Mn (s) E°= -1.18V

Al3+ (aq)   + 3e- à Al (s)      E°= -1.66

a.   +0.22 V

b.   -0.22 V

c.   -0.48 V

d.   +2.84 V

e. +0.48 V

20.   Calculate the cell potential, Ecell, for the redox reaction below at 25°C if the concentration arc is as follows:

[Zn2+] = 0.100 M and [Al3+]= 1.50 M

3 Zn2= (aq) + 2 AL (s) à 3 Zn (s) + 2 Al3+ (aq)                        E°= +0.900 V

a.   0.800 V

b.   0.867 v

c.   0.912 V

d.   0.933 V

e.   0.834 V    

21. In the voltaic cell shown below, which direction would the indicated species travel?

            Anode                                                             Cathode

            Electrons                    Cations                       Anions

a.      right to left                    right to left                 left to right

b.      right to left                    left to right                 right to left

c.      left to right                    right to left                 left to right

d.      left to right                    left to right                 right to left

e.      left to right                    right to left                 right to left

Explanation / Answer

19.

E0cell = -1.18- (-1.66) = 0.48 V

20.

Ecell = E0cell - (0.0591/n)log(Al^3+)^2 / (Zn^2+)^3

        = 0.9-(0.0591/6)log(1.5^2/0.1^3)

       = 0.867 v

b. 0.867 v
