A voltaic cell is constructed that uses the following reaction and operates at 298 K: 2 Al(s) + 3 Mn^2+(aq) 2 Al^3+(aq) + 3 Mn(s). What is the potential, E, of this cell when [Mn^2+] = 0.10 M and [Al^3+] = 1.5 M?

A voltaic cell is constructed that uses the following reaction and operates at 298 K: 2 Al(s) + 3 Mn^2+(aq)   2 Al^3+(aq) + 3 Mn(s). What is the potential, E, of this cell when [Mn^2+] = 0.10 M and [Al^3+] = 1.5 M?

See your other post. Same process but you must correct for concns that are not 1M. Use the Nernst equation for that. Post your work if you get stuck.
