- If the SHE was assigned a value of 3.00 V rather than 0.00 V, what would happen to all of the values listed in the table of standard reduction potentials?arrow_forwardGiven the following two standard reduction potentials, solve for the standard reduction potential of the half-reaction M3++eM2+ (Hint: You must use the extensive property G to determine the standard reduction potential.)arrow_forwardConsider the following reduction potentials: Co3++ 3e Co = 1.26 V Co2++ 2e Co = 0.28 V a. When cobalt metal dissolves in 1.0 M nitric acid, will Co3+ or Co2+ be the primary product (assuming standard conditions)? b. Is it possible to change the concentration of HNO3 to get a different result in part a? Concentrated HNO3 is about 16 M.arrow_forward
- A galvanic cell is based on the following half-reactions: In this cell, the copper compartment contains a copper electrode and [Cu2+] = 1.00 M, and the vanadium compartment contains a vanadium electrode and V2+ at an unknown concentration. The compartment containing the vanadium (1.00 L of solution) was titrated with 0.0800 M H2EDTA2, resulting in the reaction H2EDTA2(aq)+V2+(aq)VEDTA2(aq)+2H+(aq)K=? The potential of the cell was monitored to determine the stoichiometric point for the process, which occurred at a volume of 500.0 mL H2EDTA2 solution added. At the stoichiometric point, was observed to be 1 .98 V. The solution was buffered at a pH of 10.00. a. Calculate before the titration was carried out. b.

Assume standard states and that the standard reduction potentials in Appendix L are the same as those at each of the melting points. Assume the efficiency is 100%. (a) CaCl2. (b) LiH. (c) AlCl3. (d) CrBr3arrow_forwardFor the cell: Cr|Cr3+Co2+|Co E° is 0.46 V. The same cell was prepared in the laboratory at standard conditions. The voltage obtained was 0.40 V. A possible explanation for the difference is (a) the surface area of the chromium electrode was smaller than the cobalt electrode. (b) the mass of the chromium electrode was larger than the mass of the cobalt electrode. (c) the concentration of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was less than 1.0 M. (d) the concentration of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was less than 1.0 M. (e) the volume of Cr(NO3)2 solution used was larger than the volume of Cr(NO3)2 solution used.arrow_forward
