The correct Answer is:
To calculate the potential for the half-cell reaction given, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the half-cell reaction and identify the components. The half-cell reaction is: \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14\text{H}^+ + 6e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} \] ### Step 2: Identify the concentrations of the species involved. - Concentration of \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} = 0.10 \, \text{M} \) - Concentration of \( \text{Cr}^{3+} = 0.20 \, \text{M} \) - Concentration of \( \text{H}^+ = 1.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{M} \) ### Step 3: Write the expression for the equilibrium constant \( K_c \). The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the reaction can be expressed as: \[ K_c = \frac{[\text{Cr}^{3+}]^2}{[\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-}][\text{H}^+]^{14}} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the concentrations into the \( K_c \) expression. Substituting the values into the expression: \[ K_c = \frac{(0.20)^2}{(0.10)(1.0 \times 10^{-4})^{14}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( K_c \). Calculating \( K_c \): 1. Calculate \( (0.20)^2 = 0.04 \) 2. Calculate \( (1.0 \times 10^{-4})^{14} = 1.0 \times 10^{-56} \) 3. Now substitute these values: \[ K_c = \frac{0.04}{(0.10)(1.0 \times 10^{-56})} = \frac{0.04}{1.0 \times 10^{-57}} = 4.0 \times 10^{55} \] ### Step 6: Use the Nernst equation to calculate \( E_{cell} \). The Nernst equation is given by: \[ E_{cell} = E^\circ - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log K_c \] Where: - \( E^\circ = 1.33 \, \text{V} \) - \( n = 6 \) (the number of electrons transferred) ### Step 7: Substitute the values into the Nernst equation. Substituting the values: \[ E_{cell} = 1.33 - \frac{0.0591}{6} \log(4.0 \times 10^{55}) \] ### Step 8: Calculate \( \log(4.0 \times 10^{55}) \). Using logarithmic properties: \[ \log(4.0 \times 10^{55}) = \log(4.0) + \log(10^{55}) \] \[ \log(4.0) \approx 0.602 \] \[ \log(10^{55}) = 55 \] Thus, \[ \log(4.0 \times 10^{55}) \approx 0.602 + 55 = 55.602 \] ### Step 9: Substitute back into the Nernst equation. Now substituting back: \[ E_{cell} = 1.33 - \frac{0.0591}{6} \times 55.602 \] Calculating: \[ E_{cell} = 1.33 - \frac{0.0591 \times 55.602}{6} \] \[ E_{cell} = 1.33 - \frac{3.290}{6} \] \[ E_{cell} = 1.33 - 0.5483 \] \[ E_{cell} \approx 0.7817 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the potential for the half-cell is approximately: \[ E_{cell} \approx 0.78 \, \text{V} \]

To calculate the potential for the half-cell reaction given, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the half-cell reaction and identify the components. The half-cell reaction is: \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14\text{H}^+ + 6e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} \] ### Step 2: Identify the concentrations of the species involved. - Concentration of \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} = 0.10 \, \text{M} \) ...
