Calculate the cell potential and the equilibrium constant for the following reaction at 298 K: 2Ag+(aq) + Hg(l) ---> 2Ag(s) + Hg2+(aq)
Added by Rose
Step 1
From standard reduction potential tables, we find: Ag+ + e- ---> Ag(s) E° = +0.80 V Hg2+ + 2e- ---> Hg(l) E° = +0.85 V However, the second reaction is reversed in the overall reaction, so we need to change the sign of its potential: Hg(l) ---> Hg2+ + 2e- E° = Show more…
