a) Calculate the cell potential at 25°C for the cell
Fe(s) I (Fe2+ (0.100 M) II Pd2+ (1.0 × 10-5 M) I Pd(s)
given that the standard reduction potential for Fe2+/Fe is -0.45 V and for Pd2+/Pd is +0.95 V. - Please show the steps
b) Based on the half-reactions and their respective standard reduction potentials below, the strongest reducing agent is ________, and the strongest oxidizing agent is ________. Ag+ (aq) + e- → Ag(s) 0.80 V 2 H+ (aq) + 2 e- → H2 (g) 0.00 V Cd2+ (aq) + 2 e- → Cd(s) -0.40 V The answer is Cd, Ag+ Can you please explain to me why this is the right answer. |
