- At what pH does Ecell = 0.00 V for the reduction of dichromate by iodide ion in acid solution, assuming standard-state concentrations of all species except H+ ion?arrow_forwardThe following cell was found to have a potential of 0.2897 V:SCEIIMg2+(a = 3.32 * 10^-3M)membrane electrode for Mg^2+(a) When the solution of known magnesium activity was replaced with an unknown solution, the potentialwas found to be 0.2041 V. What was the pMg of this unknown solution?(b) Assuming an uncertainty of 60.002 V in the junction potential, what is the range of Mg21 activitieswithin which the true value might be expected?(c) What is the relative error in [Mg^2+] associated with the uncertainty in Ej?arrow_forwardThe standard potentials of Pb2+|Pb and Sn2+|Sn are −126 mV and −136 mV respectively at 25 °C, and the overpotential for their deposition are close to zero. What should the relative concentrations of Pb2+(aq) and Sn2+(aq) be in order to ensure simultaneous deposition from a mixture? You may assume that activities can be approximated by molar concentrations.arrow_forward

In an extremely accurate measurement of the Faraday constant, a pure silver anode was oxidized to Ag1 with a constant current of 0.203 639 0 (60.000 000 4) A for 18 000.075 (60.010) s to give a mass loss of 4.097 900 (60.000 003) g from the anode. Given that the atomic mass of Ag is 107.868 2 (60.000 2), find the value of the Faraday constant and its uncertainty.arrow_forward
