1. Calculate the standard emf for each of the following reactions:
a)H2(g) + F2(g)---> 2H+(aq) + 2F-(aq)
H2(g) 2H+(aq) + 2e- E°red = 0.00 V
F2(g) + 2e- 2F -(aq) E°red = 2.87 V
_______________________________________________
H2(g) + F2(g) 2H+(aq) + 2F -(aq) E° = 2.87 V
E° = E°red(reduction) - E°red(oxidation) = 2.87 V - 0.00 V = 2.87 V
b)Cu(s) + Ba 2+(aq)---> Cu 2+(aq) + Ba(s)
Cu(s) Cu2+(aq) + 2e- E°red = 0.337 V
Ba2+(aq) + 2e- Ba(s) E°red = -2.90 V
___________________________________________________
Cu(s) + Ba2+(aq) Cu2+(aq) + Ba(s) E° = -3.24 V
E° = E°red(reduction) - E°red(oxidation) = -2.90 V - 0.337 V = -3.24 V
c)3Fe 2+(aq)---> Fe(s) + 2Fe 3+(aq)
Fe2+(aq) + 2e- Fe(s) E°red = -0.440 V
2Fe2+(aq) 2Fe3+(aq) + 2e E°red = 0.771 V
___________________________________________________
3Fe2+(aq) Fe(s) + 2Fe3+(aq) E° = -1.211 V
E° = E°red(reduction) - E°red(oxidation) = -0.440 V - 0.771 V = -1.211 V
d)Hg2 2+(aq) + 2Cu+(aq)----> 2Hg(l) + 2Cu 2+(aq)
Hg22+(aq) + 2e- 2Hg(l) E°red = 0.789 V
2Cu+(aq) 2Cu2+(aq) + 2e E°red = 0.153 ...
