To determine three substances that can oxidize ferrous ions (Fe²⁺) to ferric ions (Fe³⁺), we need to consult the standard electrode potential values. The oxidation of ferrous ions can be represented by the half-reaction: \[ \text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{3+} + e^- \] The standard reduction potential (E°) for this half-reaction is -0.77 V. To oxidize Fe²⁺, we need substances that have a higher standard reduction potential than -0.77 V, as they will act as stronger oxidizing agents. ### Step-by-Step Solution: ...

Consult the table of standard electrode potential and suggest three substances that can oxidize Fe^(2+) ions under suitable conditions.

Calculating the emf from standard potentials: A galvanic cell consists of an Al electrode in a 1.0M Al(NO_(3))_(3) solution and an Fe electrode in a 1.0M Fe(NO_(3))_(2) solution. Calculate the standard emf of this electrohemical cell at 25^(@)C . Also write the cell reaction. Strategy: From the table of standard electrode potentials, write the two reduction half reaction and standard electrode potentials for the cell. Change the direction of the half-cell reaction corresponding tol the smaller (or more negative) electrode potential. Multiply the when the half-reactions are added the electrons cancel. The sum of the half-reactions is the cell reaction. Add the electrode potentials to get the cell emf.

The Ni//Ni^(2+) and F^(-)//F_(2) electrodes potentials are listed as +0.25V and -2.87V respectively (with respect to the standard hydrogen electode). The cell potential when these are coupled under standard conditions is:
