Assignment:

Question 1. Balance the following redox equations by the ion-electron method:

H2O2 + Fe2+ ---> Fe3+ + H2O (in acidic solution)

CN- + MnO4- ---> CNO- + MnO2 (in basic solution)

Question 2. Calculate the standard emf of a cell that uses the Mg/Mg2+ and Cu/Cu2+ half cell reactions at 25 deg C. What is the equation for the cell reaction that occurs under standard-state conditions?

Question 3. If 2.50 g of CuSO4 are dissolved in 9.0 x 102 mL of 0.30 M NH3, what are the concentrations of Cu2+,  Cu(NH3)2+4, and NH3 at equilibrium?

Question 4. In the complex ion [Fe(CN)6]4-, the oxidation number of Fe is_____??

Question 5. Consider an electrochemical cell constructed from the following half cells, linked by an external circuit and by a KCl salt bridge:

an Al(s) electrode in 1.0 M Al(NO3)3 solution
a Pb(s) electrode in 1.0 M Pb(NO3)2 solution

What is the balanced overall (net) cell reaction?

  1. Pb(s) + Al3+(aq) Pb2+(aq) + Al(s)
  2. 3Pb(s) + 2Al3+(aq) 3Pb2+(aq) + 2Al(s)
  3. 3Pb2+(aq) + 2Al(s) 3Pb(s) + 2Al3+(aq)
  4. Pb2+(aq) + Al(s) Pb(s) + Al3+(aq)

Question 6. Calculate the cell emf for the following reaction:

2Ag+(0.010 M) + H2(1 atm) 2Ag(s) + 2H+ (pH = 10.0)

Question 7. Calculate the value of Eocell for the following reaction:

2Au(s) + 3Ca2+(aq) 2Au3+(aq) + 3Ca(s)

Question 8. In the Mond process for the purification of nickel, CO is passed over the metallic nickel to give Ni(CO)4:

Ni(s) + 4CO(g) ←→ Ni(CO)4(g)

Given that the standard free energies of formation of CO(g) and Ni(CO)4(g) are -137.3 kJ/mol and -587.4 kJ/mol, respectively, calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction at 80 Degrees C. (Assume Gfo to be independent of temperature)
