Oxidation Reduction Potentials: Nernst's Law

Exercise 2

            

Use arrows ↓ and ↑ !

We consider the following redox system: $Fe^{3+}$ // $Fe^{3+}$     $E^o$= $0.75 \;V$ What is his →           potential under the standard conditions for $[Fe^{3+}]$ $=$ $0.1 \frac{mol}{L}$ et $[Fe^{2+}]$ $=$ $2\cdot 10^{-3} \frac{mol}{L}$?

$E$ $ =$ $ E^o+\frac{0.059}{n}log\frac{[Fe^{3+}]}{[Fe^{2+}]}$

$n\; =\; 1$ because $Fe^{3+}$ + 1 $e^- $ $\leftrightarrows$ $Fe^{2+}$

$E$ $ =$ $ 0.75+\frac{0.059}{1}log(\frac{0.1}{0.002})$ $ =$ $0.85\;V$
