Chapter 19, Problem 19.67QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical reactions, when Chlorine gas $\text{Cl}$, at l atm pressure is bubbled into a solution 0.1 M ${\text{F}}^{\text{-}}$ and ${\text{Br}}^{\text{-}}$ solutions should be predicted and balanced equation for the same should be written.

Concept introduction:

Standard reduction potential:

The reducing tendencies of the chemical species are measured at $\text{1M}$ concentration and 1atm pressures for all gases are called standard reduction potential.

In electrochemistry standard reduction potential for Hydrogen is assumed to zero then respect with this, the standard reduction potential for others species are measured and these measured standard reduction potential are arranged in the increasing ordered, this is known as standard reduction potential table.
