Given the following two standard electrode reduction potential half reaction decide which reaction will get oxidized and which reaction will get reduced. Next determine which half reaction will take place at cathode and which at the anode.  Next determine the standard cell potential (E°cell).  Next balanced both half reactions to get the balanced overall oxidation-reduction reaction.

Question
  1. Given the following two standard electrode reduction potential half reaction decide which reaction will get oxidized and which reaction will get reduced. Next determine which half reaction will take place at cathode and which at the anode.  Next determine the standard cell potential (E°cell).  Next balanced both half reactions to get the balanced overall oxidation-reduction reaction.  Next if you only have 8.76 grams of NO3- then what is the maximum work (Wmax) that can be performed.  Finally if you are given the concentrations for each reactant and product determine what the non-standard cell potential (E) will be.

 

ClO-(aq)  +  H2O(L)  +  2e-  ↔  Cl-(aq)  +  2OH-(aq)  ;  E°red = 0.90 V

 

NO3-(aq)  +  4H+(aq)  +  3e-  ↔  NO(g)  +  2H2O(L)  ;  E°red = 0.96 V
