What about
Cl2 + H2O2 ==> 2Cl^- + O2 + 2H^+
I don't know if this is the spontaneous direction or the reverse but you can look up the Eo potentials and decide which direction to write it.
An electrochemical cell is made from two half cells. The first contains 1M hydrochloric acid above 1 atm Cl2gas (w/ a platinum electrode). The other half cell contains a solution of H2O2 above 1 atm of O2 (also with a platinum electrode). A spontaneous reaction occurs.
a. Write the balanced redox reaction
(having trouble figuring this out)
