(a) Given the following cell notation and list of standard reduction potentials, Eº, calculate its cell potential. Show your working clearly. Pt | H2 (0.5 atm), HCl (0.60M), AgCl | Ag List of Standard Reduction Potentials, Eº Reduction Half-Reaction Eº (V) AgCl(s) + e- ⇌ Ag(s) + Cl-(aq) 0.222 Pt2+(aq) + 2e- ⇌ Pt(s) 1.200 Ag+(aq) + e- ⇌ Ag(s) 0.799 2H+(aq) + 2e- ⇌ H2(g) 0.000 (b) The following shows the overall equation a redox reaction: 2Fe3+(aq) + Sn2+(aq) ⇌ 2Fe2+(aq) + Sn4+(aq) Given the standard reduction potentials for iron and tin as +0.771V and +0.154V, respectively, calculate ΔGº. Determine if this reaction is spontaneous. Show your working clearly. (F = 96500 Coulomb/equivalent) (c) Using the value of ΔGº obtained from Question 2b, calculate the equilibrium constant K for the reaction at 25 °C.

A chemist designs a galvanic cell that uses these two half-reactions: half-reaction standard reduction potential NO3-(aq)+4H+(aq)+3e- → NO(g)+2H2O(l) E°red = +0.96 V Zn2+(aq)+2e- → Zn(s) E°red = -0.763 V Answer the following questions about this cell. Write a balanced equation for the half-reaction that happens at the cathode. Write a balanced equation for the half-reaction that happens at the anode. Write a balanced equation for the overall reaction that powers the cell. Be sure the reaction is spontaneous as written. Do you have enough information to calculate the cell voltage under standard conditions? Yes No If you said it was possible to calculate the cell voltage, do so and enter your answer here. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
