STEP 2 AND STEP 3 HAVE ALREADY ANSWERS.  PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION BELOW:

Compare the calculations from Step 2 and Step 3. What effect does changing zero on the scale of reduction potentials have on:

a. Reduction potetials? (Individual)

b. Cell potentials? (Voltaic Cell System)

Step 2
Use the given standard reduction potentials to calculate the standard cell potentials Explanation
Enet-Ec-Ea using the SPONTANEOUS
for the following redox reactions:
rules?
(a) 2Li(s) + 2H(aq) → 2Li (aq) + H₂(g)
(b) 2Al(s) + 3F₂(g) → 2A1³+ (aq) + 6F (aq)
(c) 2FeCl3(aq) + H₂(g) → 2FeCl₂(aq) + 2HCl(aq)
(d) Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3Li(s)→ 3LiNO3(aq) + Al(s)
Solutions
(a) 2Li(a) +2H* (aq) →2Li (aq) + H₂(g)
Enet = +3.04 V
Explanation
Oxidation reaction: 2Li(a) →2Li* (eg) +2e
Reduction reaction: 2H(aq) +2e → H₂(g)
Enet = 0.0 V-(-3.04V)
= +3.04 V
E = -3.04 V
E=0.00 V
(b) 2Al(s) + 3F2(g) → 2Al³+ (
Enet = +4.53 V
+6F (sq)
(aq)
Oxidation reaction: 2Al(a) 2Al³+ (aq) + Ge
Reduction reaction: 3F2(g) +6e →6F (aq)
Enet 2.87 V-(-1.66V)
= +4.53 V
(c) 2FeCl3(aq) + H2(g) →2FeCl2(aq) + 2HCl(aq)
Enet = +0.77 V
Explanation
Oxidation reaction: H₂(g) → 2H*(aq) +2e
Reduction reaction:2Fe³+, (eg) + 2€* →2Fe²+ (aq)
Enet = 0.77 V-0.0 V
= +0.77 V
(d) Al(NO3)3(aq) +3Li(a) →3LINO3(aq) + Al(a)
Enet = +1.38 V
Explanation
Oxidation reaction: 3Li(a)
Reduction reaction: Al³+ (aq) + 3€¯ → Al(a)
3e
Enet-1.66 V-(-3.04V)
= -1.66 V+3.04 V
= +1.38 V
E = -1.66V
E = +2.87V
E=0.0V
E = +0.77 V
3Li (aq) +3e E= -3.04 V
E = -1.66 V
