Calculate the potential of an indicator electrode versus the standard hydrogen electrode, which originally contained `0.1M MnO_(4)^(-)` and `0.8M H^(+)` and which was treated with `Fe^(2+)` necessary to reduce `90%` of the `MnO_(4)` to `Mn^(2+)`
`MnO_(4)^(-) +8H^(+) +5e rarr Mn^(2+) +H_(2)O, E^(@) = 1.51V`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the initial concentrations Initially, we have: - Concentration of \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) = 0.1 M - Concentration of \( \text{H}^+ \) = 0.8 M ### Step 2: Calculate the remaining concentration of \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) Since 90% of \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) is reduced, only 10% remains: \[ \text{Remaining } \text{MnO}_4^- = 0.1 \, \text{M} \times 0.10 = 0.01 \, \text{M} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the concentration of \( \text{Mn}^{2+} \) produced The amount of \( \text{Mn}^{2+} \) produced is 90% of the initial \( \text{MnO}_4^- \): \[ \text{Mn}^{2+} = 0.1 \, \text{M} \times 0.90 = 0.09 \, \text{M} \] ### Step 4: Use the Nernst equation The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E = E^0 - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \left( \frac{[\text{products}]}{[\text{reactants}]} \right) \] where: - \( E^0 \) = 1.51 V (given) - \( n \) = 5 (number of electrons transferred) The products are \( \text{Mn}^{2+} \) and the reactants are \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) and \( \text{H}^+ \): \[ E = 1.51 - \frac{0.0591}{5} \log \left( \frac{[\text{Mn}^{2+}] }{[\text{MnO}_4^-] \cdot [\text{H}^+]^8} \right) \] ### Step 5: Substitute the concentrations into the Nernst equation Substituting the values we have: \[ E = 1.51 - \frac{0.0591}{5} \log \left( \frac{0.09}{0.01 \cdot (0.8)^8} \right) \] ### Step 6: Calculate \( (0.8)^8 \) Calculating \( (0.8)^8 \): \[ (0.8)^8 \approx 0.1678 \] ### Step 7: Substitute this value into the equation Now we substitute this back into the Nernst equation: \[ E = 1.51 - \frac{0.0591}{5} \log \left( \frac{0.09}{0.01 \cdot 0.1678} \right) \] ### Step 8: Calculate the logarithm Calculating the ratio: \[ \frac{0.09}{0.01 \cdot 0.1678} = \frac{0.09}{0.001678} \approx 53.6 \] Now calculate the logarithm: \[ \log(53.6) \approx 1.729 \] ### Step 9: Substitute the logarithm back into the equation Substituting this value back: \[ E = 1.51 - \frac{0.0591}{5} \times 1.729 \] ### Step 10: Calculate \( E \) Calculating: \[ E = 1.51 - 0.01182 \times 1.729 \approx 1.51 - 0.0204 \approx 1.4896 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The potential of the indicator electrode versus the standard hydrogen electrode is approximately: \[ \boxed{1.39 \, \text{V}} \]

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the initial concentrations Initially, we have: - Concentration of \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) = 0.1 M - Concentration of \( \text{H}^+ \) = 0.8 M ### Step 2: Calculate the remaining concentration of \( \text{MnO}_4^- \) ...
