The correct Answer is:
To calculate the electrode potential of the `Cr^(3+), Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` electrode at `25°C`, we will use the Nernst equation. The reaction given is: \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14\text{H}^+ + 6\text{e}^- \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} \] The standard electrode potential \(E^{\circ} = 1.33 \, \text{V}\). ### Step 1: Determine the pH and H\(^+\) concentration Given that \(pOH = 11\), we can find the pH using the relationship: \[ pH + pOH = 14 \] So, \[ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 11 = 3 \] Now, we can calculate the concentration of H\(^+\): \[ [\text{H}^+] = 10^{-pH} = 10^{-3} \, \text{M} \] ### Step 2: Write the Nernst equation The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E = E^{\circ} - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log Q \] where: - \(E\) is the electrode potential, - \(E^{\circ}\) is the standard electrode potential, - \(n\) is the number of electrons transferred in the reaction, - \(Q\) is the reaction quotient. ### Step 3: Identify \(n\) and calculate \(Q\) From the balanced reaction, we see that \(n = 6\) (6 electrons are transferred). Now, we can calculate \(Q\): \[ Q = \frac{[\text{Cr}^{3+}]^2}{[\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-}][\text{H}^+]^{14}} \] Substituting the concentrations: - \([\text{Cr}^{3+}] = 0.01 \, \text{M}\) - \([\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-}] = 0.01 \, \text{M}\) - \([\text{H}^+] = 10^{-3} \, \text{M}\) So, \[ Q = \frac{(0.01)^2}{(0.01)(10^{-3})^{14}} \] Calculating \(Q\): \[ Q = \frac{0.0001}{0.01 \times 10^{-42}} = \frac{0.0001}{10^{-40}} = 10^{40} \] ### Step 4: Substitute values into the Nernst equation Now substituting \(E^{\circ}\), \(n\), and \(Q\) into the Nernst equation: \[ E = 1.33 - \frac{0.0591}{6} \log(10^{40}) \] Calculating the logarithm: \[ \log(10^{40}) = 40 \] Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ E = 1.33 - \frac{0.0591}{6} \times 40 \] Calculating: \[ E = 1.33 - \frac{0.0591 \times 40}{6} \] \[ E = 1.33 - \frac{2.364}{6} \] \[ E = 1.33 - 0.394 \] \[ E \approx 0.936 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The electrode potential at \(25°C\) of the `Cr^(3+), Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` electrode is approximately **0.936 V**. ---

To calculate the electrode potential of the `Cr^(3+), Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)` electrode at `25°C`, we will use the Nernst equation. The reaction given is: \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14\text{H}^+ + 6\text{e}^- \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} \] The standard electrode potential \(E^{\circ} = 1.33 \, \text{V}\). ### Step 1: Determine the pH and H\(^+\) concentration Given that \(pOH = 11\), we can find the pH using the relationship: ...
