An excess of liquid mercury is added to ...

An excess of liquid mercury is added to an acidicfied solution of `1.0xx10^(-3) M Fe^(3+)` . It is found that `5%` of `Fe^(3+)` remains at equilibrium at `25^(@)C`. Calculate `E^(c-)._((Hg_(2)^(2+)|Hg))` assuming that the only reaction that occurs is
`2Hg+2Fe^(3+) rarr Hg_(2)^(2+)+2Fe^(2+)`
Given `: E^(c-)._((Fe^(3+)|Fe^(2+)))=0.77V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`E_(Hg^(+2)//Hg)^(@)=0.792V`
