Question
The standard electrode potential of fluorine cannot be measured directly because $\mathrm{F}_{2}$ reacts with water, displacing O $_{2} .$ Using thermodynamic data from Appendix $D,$ obtain a value of $E_{\mathrm{F}_{2}}^{\circ} / \mathrm{F}^{-}$.
Step 1
This is represented by the equation: \[\mathrm{F}_{2} + 2\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{F}^{-} + \mathrm{O}_{2} + 4\mathrm{H}^{+}\] Show more…

For the reaction $\mathrm{TiCl}_{2}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{TiCl}_{4}(\ell)$ $\Delta_{\tau} G^{\circ}=-272.8 \mathrm{kJ} .$ Using this value and other data available in Appendix $\mathrm{L},$ calculate the value of $\Delta_{f} G^{\circ}$ for $\mathrm{TiCl}_{2}(\mathrm{s})$.
The $K_{s p}$ value for $\mathrm{PbS}(s)$ is $8.0 \times 10^{-28} .$ By using this value together with an electrode potential from Appendix E, determine the value of the standard reduction potential for the reaction $$ \mathrm{PbS}(s)+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Pb}(s)+\mathrm{S}^{2-}(a q) $$
Consider the following cell reaction at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. $$ 2 \operatorname{Cr}(s)+3 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}(a q)+3 \mathrm{Fe}(s) $$ Calculate the standard cell potential of this cell from the standard electrode potentials, and from this obtain $\Delta G^{\circ}$ for the cell reaction. Use data in Appendix $\mathrm{C}$ to calculate $\Delta H^{\circ}$; note that $\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}^{3+}(a q)$ equals $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}(a q) .$ Use these values of $\Delta H^{\circ}$ and $\Delta G^{\circ}$ to obtain $\Delta S^{\circ}$ for the cell reaction.
