Question
When [Hg2+] = 1.16 M, the observed cell
potential at 298 K for an electrochemical
cell with the reaction shown below is
2.583 V. What is the Al3+ concentration
in this cell?
3H92*(aq) + 2Al(s) – 3Hg(8) + 2AI3*(aq)
[A|3*] =

TUTOR STEP
The first step is to separate the overall
reaction into oxidation and reduction
half-reactions. These are shown here.
Hg2*(aq) + 2e" – Hg(e) reduction
Al(s) → A3*(aq) + 3e
