If the half-cell reaction A = E^(-) rarr A^- has a large negative reduction potential, it follows that .

The standard electrode potential corresponding to the reaction Au^(3+) (aq) + 3e^(-) rarr Au (s) is 1. 42 V . This implies that . (i) gold dissolves in 1M HCl (ii) metallic gole will be precipitated on passing hydrogen gas through gold salt solution (iii) gold does not dissolve in 1M HCl solution (iv) metallic gold will not be precipitated on passing hydrogen gas through gold salt solution.

Given , for Sn^(+4) // Sn^(2+) , standard reduction potential is 0.15 V and for Au^(3+)//Au , standard reduction potential is 1.5 V. For the reaction , 3Sn^(2+) + 2 Au^(3+) to 3 Sn^(4+) + 2 Au , the value of E_("cell")^(@) is ,

For given half cell, Al^(+3) + 3e^(-) rarr Al , on increasing [Al^(+3)] the electrode potential

Given below are the half -cell reactions Mn^(2+) + 2e^(-) rarr Mn, E^@ =- 1. 18 V 2 (Mn^(3+) = E^(-) rarr Mn^(2+)). E^@ = + 1.5 V The E^@ for Mn^(2+) rarr Mn+ 2 Mn^(3+) will be.

The Nearst Equation: Calcualte the nonstandard electrode potential, E , for the Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+) electrode when the concentration of Fe^(2+) is exactly firve time that of Fe^(3+) Strategy: The Nearst equation helps us calculate electrode potentials for concentrations other than one molar. The Tabulation of standard electrode potentials gives us the value of E^(@) for the reduction half-reaction. Use the balanced half-reaction and the given concentration ratio to calculate the value of Q . Finally substitude this into the Nearst equation with n equal to the number of moles of elecrons involved in the half-reaction.

Read the following passage for the evaluation of E^(@) when different number of electrons are involved. Consider addition of the following half reactions (1) Fe^(3+)(aq)+3e^(-)rarr Fe(s) E_(1)^(@)=0.45V (2) Fe(s)rarr Fe^(2+)(aq)+2e^(-) E_(2)^(@)=-0.04V (3) Fe^(3+)(aq)+e^(-)rarr Fe^(2+)(aq) E_(3)^(@)= ? Because half-reactions (1) and (2) contains a different number of electrons, the net reaction (3) is another half-reaction and E_(3)^(@) can't be obtained simply by adding E_(1)^(@) and E_(3)^(@) . The free - energy changes however, are additive because G is a state function : Delta G_(3)^(@)=Delta G_(1)^(@)+Delta G_(2)^(@) Standard electrode potential for the half-cell Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+) of the reaction (3) is :
