12. A voltaic cell consists of a chromium electrode dipped in a 1.20 M chromium (III) nitrate
solution and a tin electrode dipped in a 0.400 M tin (II) nitrate solution. What is the cell
potential at 298 K?

Respuesta :

For a voltaic cell consisting of chromium, an electrode dipped in a 1.20 M chromium (III) nitrate solution and a tin electrode dipped in a 0.400 M tin (II) nitrate solution, the cell potential at 298 K  is mathematically given as

Ecell = 0.577 V

What is the cell potential at 298 K?

Generally, the equation for the Oxidation and Reduction  is mathematically given as

Cr(s) ------------------ Cr+3(aq) + 3e- ] x 2 ...O

Sn+2(aq) + 2e- ------------ Sn(s) ] x 3  ...R

Reaction

 2 Cr(s) + 3 Sn+2(aq) --------------- 2 Cr+3(aq) + 3 Sn(s)

Therefore

Eicell = - 0.14 - ( - 0.74)

Eicell = 0.60

In conclusion

[tex]Ecell= E0cell - \frac{0.0591}{n} * \frac{log[Cr+3]^2}{ [ Sn+2]^3}[/tex]

[tex]Ecell = 0.60 - \frac{0.0591 }{6} \frac{log( 1.20)^2}{ ( 0.200)^3}[/tex]

Ecell = 0.577 V
