Problem 32P

Balance each skeleton reaction, calculate E°cell, and state whether the reaction is spontaneous:

(a) Cl2(g) + Fe2+(aq) →Cl?(aq) +Fe3+(aq)

(b)Mn2+(aq) + Co3+(aq) → MnO2(s) + Co2+(aq) [acidic]

(c) AgCl(s) + NO(g) →Ag(s) + Cl? (aq) + NO3? (aq) [acidic]

QUESTION:

Problem 32P

Balance each skeleton reaction, calculate E°cell, and state whether the reaction is spontaneous:

(a) Cl2(g) + Fe2+(aq) →Cl?(aq) +Fe3+(aq)

(b)Mn2+(aq) + Co3+(aq) → MnO2(s) + Co2+(aq) [acidic]

(c) AgCl(s) + NO(g) →Ag(s) + Cl? (aq) + NO3? (aq) [acidic]

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

(a) \(Cl_2(g)\) + \(2Fe^{2+}(aq)\) \(\rightarrow\)\(2Cl^{-}(aq)\) + \(Fe^{3+}(aq)\)

E°cell = +0.77V (spontaneous)
