Using standard reduction potentials, calculate the standard emf, free energy, and equilibrium constant at 298K for each of the following reactions:
a. Cl2(g) + 2 I-(aq) → 2 Cl-(aq) + I2(s)
b. 2 NO3-(aq) + 8 H+(aq) 3 Cu(s) → 2 NO(g) + 4 H2O(l) + 3 Cu2+(aq)
c. Fe(s) + 2 Fe3+(aq) → 3 Fe2+(aq)
Ive posted this twice already and the answers have been really inconsistant
a. Cl2(g) + 2 I-(aq) → 2 Cl-(aq) + I2(s)
2I- (aq) -------------> I2(s)+2e- E0 = -0.54V
Cl2(g) + 2e- --------> 2Cl- (aq) E0 = 1.36V
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cl2(g) + 2 I-(aq) → 2 Cl-(aq) + I2(s) E0 cell = 0.82V
G0 = -nE0cell*F
= -2*0.82*96500 = -158260J
G0 = -RTlnK
-159260 = -8.314*298*2.303logKeq
logKeq = -159260/-5705.8483
logKeq = 28
Keq = 1028
b. 3Cu(s) -------------------------> 3Cu+2 + 6e- E0 = -0.34V
2NO3- +8H+ + 6e- --------> 2NO(g) + 4H2O(l) E0 = 0.96v
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 NO3-(aq) + 8 H+(aq)+ 3 Cu(s) → 2 NO(g) + 4 H2O(l) + 3 Cu2+(aq) E0cell = 0.62V
G0 = -nE0cell*F
= -6*0.62*96500 = -358980J
G0 = -RTlnK
-358980 =- 8.314*298*2.303logK
logK = -358980/-5705.8483
logK = 63
Keq = 1063
