The correct Answer is:
To find the standard electrode potential \( E^\circ \) for the given electrochemical cell reaction: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions and their standard electrode potentials We have two half-reactions provided: 1. **Reduction of bismuth oxide**: \[ \text{BiO}^+(aq) + 2H^+(aq) + 3e^- \rightarrow \text{Bi}(s) + H_2O(l), \quad E^\circ = +0.32 \, \text{V} \] 2. **Reduction of nitrogen gas**: \[ N_2(g) + 5H^+(aq) + 4e^- \rightarrow N_2H_5^+(aq), \quad E^\circ = +0.23 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation and reduction processes - The bismuth oxide is being reduced to bismuth, so this half-reaction will act as the cathode. - The nitrogen species \( N_2H_5^+ \) is being oxidized to nitrogen gas, which means we need to reverse the half-reaction for nitrogen. ### Step 3: Reverse the nitrogen half-reaction for oxidation Reversing the nitrogen half-reaction gives: \[ N_2H_5^+(aq) \rightarrow N_2(g) + 5H^+(aq) + 4e^-, \quad E^\circ = -0.23 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the standard cell potential The standard cell potential \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] Substituting the values: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{BiO}^+/\text{Bi}} - E^\circ_{N_2H_5^+/N_2} \] \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.32 \, \text{V} - (-0.23 \, \text{V}) = 0.32 \, \text{V} + 0.23 \, \text{V} = 0.55 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the standard electrode potential \( E^\circ \) for the cell is: \[ \boxed{0.55 \, \text{V}} \]
