F2 + 2e ==> 2F^- .......E = 2.87 v
Al ==> Al^3+ + 3e.......E = 1.61
Add the half cells to get the cell reaction. Add the E values to obtain the voltage of the cell.
Notes: 1. Note I changed the sign of the Al half cell because I wrote it as an oxidation and not a reduction.
2. When you add the two half cells you should multiply eqn 1 by 3 and multiply eqn 2 by 2 in order to make the electron loss equal to the electron gain.
3. When you multiply the equations to make the electrons equal you do NOT (repeat, NOT) multiply the voltages.
Assuming these half reactions make a galvanic cell, what is the cell potential in volts.
πΉ2(π)+2πββπΉβ(ππ)
πΈ0πππ=2.87
π΄π3++3πββπ΄π(π )
πΈππππ=β1.66
