(a)
Interpretation:
The table for reduction potential of various species is given. The reagent that is capable of the given reduction is to be picked.
Concept introduction:
The species with higher reduction potential undergoes reduction thus, oxidizing the other species while the species with lower reduction potential undergoes oxidation and thus, reduces the other species.
To determine: The species that are capable of the given reductions.

- Given 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_forwardAn aqueous solution of an unknown salt of vanadium is electrolyzed by a current of 2.50 amps for 1.90 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 95.0%, resulting in a deposit of 2.850 g of vanadium. a How many faradays are required to deposit the vanadium? b What is the charge on the vanadium ions (based on your calculations)?arrow_forwardA 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. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, K, for the titration reaction. c. Calculate at the halfway point in the titration.arrow_forward
- An aqueous solution of an unknown salt of gold is electrolyzed by a current of 2.75 amps for 3.39 hours. The electroplating is carried out with an efficiency of 93.0%, resulting in a deposit of 21.221 g of gold. a How many faradays are required to deposit the gold? b What is the charge on the gold ions (based on your calculations)?arrow_forwardAn electrochemical cell consists of a nickel metal electrode immersed in a solution with [Ni2+] = 1.0 M separated by a porous disk from an aluminum metal electrode immersed in a solution with [Al3+] = 1.0 M. Sodium hydroxide is added to the aluminum compartment, causing Al(OH)3(s) to precipitate. After precipitation of Al(OH)3 has ceased, the concentration of OH is 1.0 104 M and the measured cell potential is 1.82 V. Calculate the Ksp value for Al(OH)3. Al(OH)3(s)Al3+(aq)+3OH(aq)Ksp=?arrow_forwardIf 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_forward
- Consider 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_forwardCalculate the cell potential of a cell operating with the following reaction at 25C, in which [MnO4] = 0.010 M, [Br] = 0.010 M. [Mn2] = 0.15 M, and [H] = 1.0 M. 2MNO4(aq)+10Br(aq)+16H+(aq)2MN2(aq)+5Br2(l)+8H2O(l)arrow_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
