Chapter 14, Problem 14.FE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Balanced equation has to be written for given reaction and value of ${\text{E}}^{\text{o}}$ has to be calculated.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether an equimolar mixture of ${\text{PuO}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{2+}}\text{ and}{\text{PuO}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{+}}$ will oxidize ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ to ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ at $\text{pH}$ of 2.00 and ${\text{P}}_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{= 0}\text{.20 bar}$ has to be predicted and will Oxygen be liberated at $\text{pH}$ of 7.00 has to be explained.
