An electrochemical cell consists of a half-cell in which a piece of platinum wire is dipped into a solution that is 2.5 M in KI and 0.046 M in I2. The other half-cell consists of magnesium metal immersed in a 0.37 M Mg2+ solution. Assume that the temperature is 25°C. (a) Which electrode is the anode and which is the cathode? anode: O Pt|I2, I- O Mg2+|Mg cathode: O Pt|I2, I- O Mg2+|Mg

An electrochemical cell consists of a half-cell in which a piece of platinum wire is dipped into a solution that is 2.5 M in KI and 0.046 M in I2. The other half-cell consists of magnesium
metal immersed in a 0.37 M Mg2+ solution. Assume that the temperature is 25°C.
(a) Which electrode is the anode and which is the cathode?
anode:
Pt|I2, I-
O Mg²+|Mg
cathode:
O Pt|I2, I-
Mg2+|Mg
(b) What is the emf of the cell?
4.0
2.869
X V
(c) What is the spontaneous cell reaction?
chemPad
OHelp
Greek -
Mg2+(aq)+21 (aq)
Mg(s)+I2(aq)
Mg(s)+l_2(aq)-->Mg^2+(aq)+2l^-(aq)
Your answer appears to have inconsistent states-of-matter.
(d) What is the equilibrium constant of the cell reaction?
