(a) Construct a half reaction for oxidation of acetateinto carbon dioxide.
(b) Construct a half reaction for reduction of hydrogenion into hydrogen.
(c) Construct a balanced an oxidation and reductionreaction by combining the two
half reactions above.
(d) Calculate the standard Gibbs free energy change(?G0)of the balanced equation.
(e) Calculate the standard electrode potentials(E0) for the two half reactions.
(f) Propose the conditions to make the reaction beingspontaneous
Acetate (CH3COO') can be oxidized into carbon dioxide (C02(aq)) and hydrogen ion (H+) is reduced to hydrogen (H2(aq)) by microorganisms in anaerobic condition. Thermodynamic Constants for Species of Importance in Water Chemistry Values of Constants Metric Equivalents of Standard Units
