Derive a balanced equation for the reaction occurring in the cell:
Fe(s)|Fe2+(aq)||Fe3+(aq),Fe2+(aq)|Pt(s)

a.) If E?cell = 1.21 V, calculate ?G? for the reaction.

b.) If E?cell=1.21V, calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

c.) Use the Nernst equation to determine the potential for the cell:
Fe(s)|Fe2+(aq,1.0�10-3M)||Fe3+(aq,1.0�10-3M),Fe2+(aq,0.10M)|Pt(s)

Solutions

Expert Solution

LHS Fe(S) Fe2+ + 2e (Oxidation)

RHS 2(Fe3+ + e Fe2+ ) (Reduction)

To balance charge multiply the reduction reaction by 2 and the add the two equations

The balanced equation for the cell reaction is

Fe(s) + 2 Fe3+3 Fe++    

a) ? G0 = - nFE

n, the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction = 2

F is the Faraday = 96500 Coulombs

V = 1.21 V

? G = - 2 x 96500 Coulombs x 1.21 Volt= 233,530 volt coulombs

1 volt coulomb = 1 Joule

Therefore ?G = - 233,530 J = - 233.530 kJ

b) - ? G0 = RT ln K

ln K = - ? G0/ RT

ln K = 2.303 log K

Therefore

log K = - ?G0/2.303RT

R , the gas constant = 8.314J K-1mol-1

T ,the temperatue is not given .Let us assume a value of 298K

log K = -(- 233,530)J/ 2.303 x 8.314 J K-1mol-1 x 298 K

         = 40.9281

K = anti log of 40.9281

K = 8.47 x 1040

C) LHs Fe(s) = Fe++ (1x 10-3M) +2e

RHS [Fe+++ ( 1x10-3) + e = Fe ++ (0.1M)}2

Adding Fe(s) +2Fe(1x10-3) = Fe++(1x10-3) + 2Fe++(0.1M)

NERNST EQUATION

E = E0- RT/nF ln [Fe++ 1x10-3][Fe++ 0.1]2/[Fe+++ 1x10-3]2

E = E0 - 0.0591/2 log [1x 10-3] [0.1]2 / [1x10-3]2 at 298 K

= 1.21 -0.02955x log10

=1.21 -0.02955x1

=1.043 V

=1,23955 V
