Part D:
Calculate the standard cell potential for
Mg(s)+Fe2+(aq)→Mg2+(aq)+Fe(s)
Mg(s) ----------------> Mg^2+ (aq) + 2e^- E0 = 2.38v
Fe^2+ (aq) + 2e^- ------> Fe(s) E0 = -0.41v
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mg(s) + Fe^2+ (aq) -----> Mg^2+ (aq) + Fe(s) E0cell = 1.97v
the standard cell potential for 1.97v
n = 2
T = 89+273 = 362K
Mg(s) + Fe^2+ (aq) -----> Mg^2+ (aq) + Fe(s)
[Fe2+]= 3.00 M and [Mg2+]= 0.110 M .
Q = [Mg^2+]/[Fe^2+]
= 0.11/3 = 0.0366
Ecell = E0cell - 0.0592/n logQ
= 1.97 -0.0592/2 log0.0366
= 1.97 -0.0296*-1.4365 = 2.0125v
