Chapter 19, Problem 45E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The standard cell potential for each of the given electrochemical cells (or reactions) is to be calculated.

${\text{Ag}}^{\text{+2}}\left(\text{aq}\right)\text{+Pb}\left(\text{s}\right)\to \text{2}\text{Ag}\left(\text{s}\right){\text{+Pb}}^{\text{+2}}\left(\text{aq}\right)$

$\text{2}{\text{ClO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\text{+2}\text{}{\text{I}}^{-}\left(\text{aq}\right)\to \text{2}{\text{ClO}}_{\text{2}}^{-}\left(\text{aq}\right){\text{+I}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{s}\right)$

${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\text{+4}{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\left(\text{aq}\right)\text{+2}\text{Zn}\left(\text{s}\right)\to \text{2}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(\text{l}\right)\text{+2}{\text{Zn}}^{\text{+2}}\left(\text{aq}\right)$
