- Calculate the standard cell potential of the following cell at 25C. Sn(s)Sn2+(aq)I2(aq)I(aq)arrow_forwardTable 17-1 lists common half-reactions along with the standard reduction potential associated with each half-reaction. These standard reduction potentials are all relative to some standard. What is the standard (zero point)? lf is positive for a half-reaction, what does it mean? If is negative for a half-reaction, what does it mean? Which species in Table 17-1 is most easily reduced? Least easily reduced? The reverse of the half-reactions in Table 17-1 are the oxidation half-reactions. How are standard oxidation potentials determined? In Table 17-1, which species is the best reducing agent? The worst reducing agent? To determine the standard cell potential for a redox reaction, the standard reduction potential is added to the standard oxidation potential. What must be true about this sum if the cell is to be spontaneous (produce a galvanic cell)? Standard reduction and oxidation potentials are intensive. What does this mean? Summarize how line notation is used to describe galvanic cells.arrow_forwardCalculate the standard cell potential of the cell corresponding to the oxidation of oxalic acid, H2C2O4, by permanganate ion.

What range of pH values corresponds to acidic solutions? What range corresponds to basic solutions? Why is pH = 7.00 considered neutral? When the pH of a solution changes by one unit, by what factor does the hydrogen ion concentration change in the solution? How is pOH defined? How arc pH and pOH for a given solution related? Explain.arrow_forwardCalculate the value of E for each of the following reactions. Decide whether each is product-favored at equilibrium in the direction written.
