2. (3 pts) Consider the unit cell for the spinel compound,
CrFe204. How many total particles are in the unit cell?
Also, show how the number of particles and their
positions are consistent with the CrFe204
stoichiometry - this may or may not be reflected by the
particle colors in the diagram. (HINT: In the diagram,
the blue particle is in an interior position while each red
particle is either in a corner or face position.)
From the following potentials, calculate the activity of Cl- in saturated KCl.
E0 (calomel electrode)= 0.268 V
E (calomel electrode, saturated KCl)= 0.241 V
Calculate the voltage of each of the following cells.
a) Fe(s)/Fe2+ (1.55 x 10-2 M)//Cu2+ (6.55 x 10-3 M)/Cu(s)
b) Pt, H2 (0.255 bar)/HCl (4.55 x 10-4 M), AgCl (sat'd)/Ag
Fe2+ +2e- = Fe E0= -0.44 V
