At 25°C, the molar conductance of 0.007 M hydrofluoric acid is 150 mho cm2mol-1 and its Λ°m = 500 cm2mol-1. The value of the dissociation constant of the acid at the given concentration at 25°C is
7 × 10-4 M
7 × 10-5 M
9 × 10-3 M
9 × 10-4 M
The standard reduction potential Eo for half-reaction are:
Zn Zn2+ + 2e- ; E° = + 0.76V
Fe Fe2+ + 2e- ; E° = + 0.41 V
The EMF of the cell reaction
Fe2+ + Zn Zn2+ + Fe is :
- 0.35 V
+ 0.35 V
+ 1.17 V
- 1.17 V
The formal potential of Fe3+ /Fe2+ in a sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid mixture (E° = +0.61 V) is much lower than the standard potential (E° = +0.77 V). This is due to
formation of the species [FeHPO4]+
lowering of potential upon complexation
formation of the species [FesO4]+
high acidity of the medium
A cell is represented by Zn|Zn2+ (aq) || Cu2+ (aq)| Cu. Given, Cu2+ + 2e- → Zn, E° = -0.763 V. Write the cell reactions, emf of the cell and state whether the cell reaction will be spontaneous or not?
The given cell is
Zn | Zn2+ (aq) || Cu2+ (aq) | Cu
Half- cell reaction at anode
Zn → Zn2+ + 2e- (oxidation)
Half-cell reaction at cathode
Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu (reduction)
Overall reaction, Zn + Cu2+ Zn2+ + Cu
E = ER° - EL°
= E - E
= 0.35 - (-0.763)
E = 1.113 V
