### Redox Reaction AnalysisIn this exercise, we will consider the redox reaction where Hg (in its oxidation state) and \( \text{HClO}_2 \) (in its reduction state) participate. Here are the given standard electrode potentials for each species:- \( E^\circ_{\text{ox}} = -1.67 \text{ V} \) for \( \text{Hg} \)- \( E^\circ_{\text{red}} = +1.67 \text{ V} \) for \( \text{HClO}_2 \)To complete this analysis, we are asked to do the following:#### (a) Write the Oxidation and Reduction Half-ReactionsFirst, identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions separately.- The oxidation half-reaction involves \( \text{Hg} \) being oxidized: \[ \text{Hg} \rightarrow \text{Hg}^{2+} + 2e^{-} \quad (E^\circ_{\text{ox}} = -1.67 \text{ V}) \]- The reduction half-reaction involves \( \text{HClO}_2 \) being reduced: \[ \text{HClO}_2 + 2e^{-} \rightarrow \text{HCl} + \text{{other products}} \quad (E^\circ_{\text{red}} = +1.67 \text{ V}) \]#### (b) Calculate the Equilibrium Constant at 25°CUsing the Nernst equation and the relationship between the standard electrode potential and the equilibrium constant, we can determine the equilibrium constant \( K \). The relevant formula is:\[\log K = \frac{n \cdot E^\circ_{\text{cell}}}{0.0592}\]where \( n \) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced equation and \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) is the standard cell potential. To calculate \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \):\[E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{red}} - E^\circ_{\text{ox}} = +1.67 \text{ V} - (-1.67 \text{ V}) = +3.34 \text{ V}\]Since \( n = 2
