The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct reaction for the given electrochemical cell at \(25^\circ C\), we need to analyze the half-reactions involved and their respective standard reduction potentials. ### Step 1: Identify the Half-Reactions The electrochemical cell is represented as: \[ \text{Pt} | \text{Br}_2(g) | \text{Br}^-(aq) || \text{Cl}^-(aq) | \text{Cl}_2(g) | \text{Pt} \] From this, we can identify the half-reactions: 1. For bromine: \[ \text{Br}^-(aq) \rightarrow \text{Br}_2(g) + 2e^- \] 2. For chlorine: \[ \text{Cl}_2(g) + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Cl}^-(aq) \] ### Step 2: Determine Standard Reduction Potentials Next, we need to look up the standard reduction potentials (\(E^\circ\)) for these half-reactions: - For chlorine (\(Cl_2\)): \[ E^\circ = +1.36 \, V \] - For bromine (\(Br_2\)): \[ E^\circ = +1.09 \, V \] ### Step 3: Identify the Cathode and Anode In an electrochemical cell: - The cathode is where reduction occurs (gain of electrons). - The anode is where oxidation occurs (loss of electrons). Since chlorine has a higher reduction potential than bromine, chlorine will be reduced at the cathode: \[ \text{Cl}_2(g) + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Cl}^-(aq) \] And bromine will be oxidized at the anode: \[ 2\text{Br}^-(aq) \rightarrow \text{Br}_2(g) + 2e^- \] ### Step 4: Combine the Half-Reactions Now, we can combine the half-reactions to find the overall reaction: \[ 2\text{Br}^-(aq) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{Cl}^-(aq) + \text{Br}_2(g) \] ### Final Reaction The overall balanced reaction for the electrochemical cell is: \[ 2\text{Br}^-(aq) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{Cl}^-(aq) + \text{Br}_2(g) \] ### Conclusion Thus, the correct reaction for the given electrochemical cell at \(25^\circ C\) is: \[ \text{2Br}^-(aq) + \text{Cl}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{2Cl}^-(aq) + \text{Br}_2(g) \] ---
