Question

Calculate E°cell and indicate whether the overall reaction shown is spontaneous or nonspontaneous.

I2(s)   +   2e ---->  2I-(aq)                     E° = 0.30 V

Cd3+(aq)   +   3e-  ----->   Cd(s)                 E° = -0.50  V

 

 

 

 

E°cell = 0.20 V, spontaneous

 

E°cell = 0.80 V, spontaneous

 

E°cell = - 0.20 V, nonspontaneous

 

E°cell = -0.80 V, nonspontaneous
