Transcribed Image Text:When the Hg?+ concentration is 1.23 M, the observed cell potential at 298K for an electrochemical cell with the following reaction is 1.659V. What is the Cr3+ concentration? 3Hg?*(aq) + 2Cr(s)3Hg(1) + 2C1³*(aq) Answer: M
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given reaction is :

3Hg2+ (aq) + 2Cr (s) ---------> 3Hg (l) + 2Cr3+ (aq) 

Concentration of Hg2+ = [Hg2+] = 1.23 M 

Cell potential = Ecell = 1.659 V 

Concentration of Cr3+ = [Cr3+] = ?
