Question
Standard Reduction Potentials (Volts) at 25 °C
F2 (g) e-  F- (aq) 2.870
O2(g) + 4 H3O+(aq) + 4 e-  6 H2O(l)  1.229
2 H2O(l) + 2 e-  H2(g) + 2 OH-(aq) -0.828
Fe2+ (aq) e-  Fe (s) -0.440
 



0.122 M neutral aqueous FeF2 solution is electrolyzed under 1 atm pressure using platinum electrodes.

(a) Write the half-reactions expected to occur, taking into account the effect of the non-standard conditions on the electrode potentials.

Half-reaction at anode:

    +       +       ->       +       +    



Half-reaction at cathode:

    +       +       ->       +       +    



(b) What is the expected decomposition potential? _______ V
