1) Calculate the cell potential, at 25 C, based upon the overall reaction
Zn2+(aq) + 2 Fe2+(aq) -> Zn(s) + 2 Fe3+(aq)
if [Zn2+] = 1.50 x 10^-4 M, [Fe3+] = 0.0200 M, and [Fe2+] = 0.0100 M. The standard reduction potentials are as follows:
Zn2+(aq) + 2 e– -> Zn(s) E = –0.763 V
Fe3+(aq) + e– -> Fe2+(aq) E = +0.771 V
a. –1.665 V
b. –1.534 V
c. –1.439 V
d. –0.008 V
e. +0.008 V
Answer is B
