The correct Answer is:
To find the cell potential for the given reaction, we can use the Nernst equation: \[ E = E^0 - \frac{0.059}{n} \log Q \] where: - \(E\) is the cell potential, - \(E^0\) is the standard cell potential, - \(n\) is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the reaction, - \(Q\) is the reaction quotient. ### Step 1: Identify the standard cell potential \(E^0\) From the question, we have: \[ E^0 = 1.67 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 2: Determine the number of electrons transferred \(n\) In the given reaction: \[ 2Fe(s) + O_2(g) + 4H^+(aq) \rightarrow 2Fe^{2+}(aq) + 2H_2O(l) \] Each iron atom goes from an oxidation state of 0 to +2, meaning each iron atom loses 2 electrons. Since there are 2 iron atoms: \[ n = 2 \times 2 = 4 \, \text{electrons} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the reaction quotient \(Q\) The reaction quotient \(Q\) is given by the expression: \[ Q = \frac{[Fe^{2+}]^2}{P(O_2) \cdot [H^+]^4} \] Given: - \([Fe^{2+}] = 10^{-3} \, M\) - \(P(O_2) = 0.1 \, atm\) - pH = 3, which gives \([H^+] = 10^{-3} \, M\) Now substituting these values into the equation for \(Q\): \[ Q = \frac{(10^{-3})^2}{(0.1) \cdot (10^{-3})^4} \] Calculating \(Q\): \[ Q = \frac{10^{-6}}{0.1 \cdot 10^{-12}} = \frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-13}} = 10^{7} \] ### Step 4: Substitute values into the Nernst equation Now substituting \(E^0\), \(n\), and \(Q\) into the Nernst equation: \[ E = 1.67 - \frac{0.059}{4} \log(10^7) \] Calculating \(\log(10^7)\): \[ \log(10^7) = 7 \] Now substituting this value: \[ E = 1.67 - \frac{0.059}{4} \cdot 7 \] Calculating \(\frac{0.059}{4}\): \[ \frac{0.059}{4} = 0.01475 \] Now calculating the full expression: \[ E = 1.67 - 0.01475 \cdot 7 = 1.67 - 0.10325 \] \[ E = 1.56675 \approx 1.57 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The cell potential at \(25^{\circ}C\) is approximately: \[ \boxed{1.57 \, V} \]

To find the cell potential for the given reaction, we can use the Nernst equation: \[ E = E^0 - \frac{0.059}{n} \log Q \] where: - \(E\) is the cell potential, ...
