Question
Chemists are working on the electrochemistry of bromine species. They prepared the
following electrochemical cells (Table 1) at 298 K.
Table 1. Two electrochemical cells to study the electrochemistry of bromine species.
Cell L:
Pt(s) | Br2(1) | Br-(aq) (1.0 M) || Br-(aq) (x M) from [PbBr4]2-| Br2(1) | Pt(s)
Cell H:
Pt(s) | Br21) | Br-(aq) (x M) || BrO3-(aq) (0.43 M), H+(aq) (1.00 M) | Br2(1) | Pt(s)
A concentration cell (L) where the cathode half-cell uses an equilibrium solution of [PbBr4]2-(aq)
as the source of bromide ions was prepared. A galvanic cell (H), where the bromide ion
concentration in the anode is equal to that in the cathode of cell L was also prepared.
Given: Eºred Br2(1)/Br-(aq) = +1.07 V
Given that the electrochemical cell L gives a potential of 0.0570 V, determine the
concentration of bromide ions present in its cathode half-cell.
●
The equilibrium concentration of Pb2+(aq) and [PbBr4]2-(aq) in the cathode half-cell of L are
0.15 M and 0.32 M, respectively. Determine the equilibrium constant for the formation
of [PbBr4]2-.
Write the overall redox reaction for the electrochemical cell H.
Given that the electrochemical cell H gives a potential of 0.350 V, determine the
standard potential for the reduction of BrO3-(aq) to Br2(1).
Construct a Latimer diagram that shows the three bromine species (BrO3-, Br2, and Br.)
in this problem. Include the skip potential for the reduction of BrO3-(aq) to Br-(aq) under
standard conditions.
