Chapter #10, Question #10-1:

Consider the following equilibrium system:  MnO4 + 4 H+ + 3 e ⇌ MnO2(s) + 2 H2O(l)

(a) Calculate the pEo value. (HINT: Consult this standard reduction potential table 

(b) Calculate the actual pE of a 50.0-L neutral aqueous solution containing 10.0 g of potassium permangante (KMnO4).  Assume that only chemistry in the equilibrium system above determines the pE.  (HINTS:  In an equilibrium constant (K) or reaction quotient (Q) expression, pure solids and liquids behave has if they have values of 1.  Concentrations in these expressions must be in mol L−1.)
