Question- Consider the following two galvanic cells based on each reaction. Give the balanced cell reaction and calculate the ?o standard cell potential for each cell.
Refer to the Standard Electrode (Reduction) Potentials at 25 degree Celsius when needed.
a. Al3+ (aq) + Mg(s)Al(s) + Mg2+ (aq)
b.MnO4-(aq) + H+(aq) + ClO3-(aq)ClO4-(aq) + Mn2+ (aq) + H2O(l)
MnO4- +5e- +8H+Mn2+ +4H2O ?o =1.51V; ClO4- +2H+ +2e-ClO3- +H2O ?o =1.19V
I want you to explain the chemistry in this problem
