Chemistry Question on Electrochemistry
At 298K, a 1 litre solution containing 10mmol of Cr2O72− and 100mmol of Cr3+ shows a pH of 30.
Given: Cr2O72−→Cr3+;E∘=1330V and F2303RT=0059V.
The potential for the half cell reaction is x×10−3V. The value of x is ___ .
Answer
Cr2O72−+14H++6e−→2Cr3++7H2O
E=1.33−60.059log(10−2)(10−3)14(0.1)2
E=1.33−60.059×42=0.917
E=917×10−3
x=917
So, the correct answer is 917.
