Given information
Calculate E° cell for each balanced redox reaction and determine whether the reaction is spontaneous
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
To calculate the for given balanced redox reaction we need to calculate half life reaction i.e. ,
- = 0, = -1
-
- charge changed from 0 to -1
- oxidation number decreased → gained electrons → reduced → cathode
- charge changed from -1 to 0
- = -1, = 0
- oxidation number increased → lost electrons → oxidized → anode
