\(Cr_2O_7^{2–} + I^– \rightarrow I_2 + Cr^{3+}\), \(E^o_{cell} = 0.79 V\), \(E^o_{Cr_2O_7^{–2}|Cr^{+3}} = 1.33 V\), \(E^o_{I_2| I^-}= ?\) |
0.54 –0.054 +0.18 V –0.18 V |
0.54 |
The correct answer is option 1. 0.54. To find the standard electrode potential (\(E^o_{I_2| I^-}\)) for the reaction \(I_2 + 2I^- \rightarrow 2I^-\), we can use the Nernst equation: \(E^o_{cell} = E^o_{Cr_2O_7^{2-}|Cr^{3+}} - E^o_{I_2| I^-}\) Given that \(E^o_{cell} = 0.79 V\) and \(E^o_{Cr_2O_7^{2-}|Cr^{3+}} = 1.33 V\), we can rearrange the equation to solve for \(E^o_{I_2| I^-}\): \(E^o_{I_2| I^-} = E^o_{Cr_2O_7^{2-}|Cr^{3+}} - E^o_{cell}\) \(E^o_{I_2| I^-} = 1.33 V - 0.79 V\) \(E^o_{I_2| I^-} = 0.54 V\) Therefore, the correct answer is (1) 0.54 V. |
