Question

The cell described by the net reaction

2 U(s) + 3 Cl₂(g) ⇆ 6 Cl^-(aq) + 2 U³⁺(aq)

has a standard cell potential of 3.16 volts. Using the standard reduction potential value shown for

Cl₂(g) + 2 e^-⇆ 2 Cl^-(aq) E^° = +1.36 volt

determine the standard reduction potential of the U³⁺(aq)|U(s) half-cell

1.8 V

4.52 V

-1.8 V

-4.52 V
