Question

Consider the reaction, 2 Al(s) + 3 I2(s) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 6 I(aq), which can be obtained with the following two half reactions:

Al3+(aq) + 3 e → Al(s), E°red = –1.66 V

I2(s) + 2 e → 2 I(aq),  E°red =  0.54 V

At 25 °C and a concentration of I(aq) of 0.15 M, the measured cell potential is 2.32 V. What was the concentration of Al3+(aq) under these conditions?
