Question
An electrochemical cell is constructed in which both electrodes are pure iron immersed in a solution of Fe2+ ions. The [Fe12+] concentration for one half cell is 0.5 M and [Fez2+] for the other half cell is 0.02 M.
The temperature of the solution is 25 °C. Is a voltage generated between the two half-cells? If so, what is its magnitude and which electrode will be oxidized?
[NOTE: The symbol M is used to indicate "molar" concentration or molarity of a solution so 1 M = 1 mol/litre. A1M solution has 1 mole of the substance dissolved in 1 litre of solution. Square brackets around
the symbol for the substance as in [Fe2*] are used to indicate concentration as molarity -see, for example, the way the Nernst equation is written.]
