Question
  1. Combine the half-reactions shown into three different spontaneous redox reactions, calculating E°cell for each one and ranking the three reactions in order of increasing strength:

 

NO3–(aq) + 4 H+(aq) + 3e– --------à NO(g) + 2 H2O(l)                        E° = +0.96 V

N2(g) + 5 H+ + 4e– ----------à N2H5+(aq)                                                    E° = –0.23 V

 

MnO2 + 4 H+(aq) + 2e– ---------à Mn2+(aq) + 2 H2O(l)                        E° = +1.23 V
