[Fe3+]= 2.80 M ; [Mg2+]= 2.1×10−3 M. Express your answer in units of volts.
E0 = 2.33
3Mg(s) -------------------> 3Mg^2+ (aq) + 6e^- E0 = 2.38V
2Fe^3+ (aq) + 6e^- ---------> 2Fe(s) E0 = -0.04v
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3Mg(s) +2Fe^3+(aq) --------> 3Mg^2+(aq) + Fe(s) E0cell = 2.33v
n = 6
Ecell = E0cell + 0.0592/n log[Mg^2+]^3/[Fe^3+]^2
= 2.33 + 0.0592/6 log(2.1*10^-3)^3/(2.8)^2
= 2.33 +0.00986log1.18125*10^-9
= 2.33+0.00986*-8.9276 = 2.2419v >>>>answer
