Question

Transcribed Image Text:Given the following two half-reactions, write the overall reaction in the direction in which it is product-
favored, and calculate the standard cell potential.
Pb2*(aq) + 2 e- -
→ Pb(s)
E° = -0.126 V
Fe3*(aq) + e¯ →
Fe2*(s)
E° = +0.771 V
Pb2*(aq) + 2 Fe²*(s) → Pb(s) + 2 Fe³*(aq);
= +0.897 V
cell
Pb2*(aq) + Fe²*(s) → Pb(s) + Fe³*(aq); E,
cell
= +0.645 V
Pb(s) + 2 Fe³*(aq) → Pb²*(aq) + 2 Fe²*(s); F°
cell
= +1.416 V
Pb(s) + 2 Fe*(aq) → Pb²*(aq) + 2 Fe²*(s); E.
'cell
= +0.897 V
Pb(s) + Fe³*(aq) → Pb²*(aq) + Fe²*(s);
= +0.645 V
