Solution
1
Sketch the diagram: A galvanic cell consists of two half-cells, each containing an electrode and an electrolyte. The Zn electrode is the anode where oxidation occurs, and the Fe electrode is the cathode where reduction occurs. The anode and cathode are connected by a salt bridge, and the external circuit connects the electrodes to allow for electron flow
2
Determine the overall cell reaction: The anode half-reaction is ZnZn2++2e\mathrm{Zn} \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+} + 2e^-, and the cathode half-reaction is Fe3++eFe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} + e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}. The overall cell reaction is Zn+Fe3+Zn2++Fe2+\mathrm{Zn} + \mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+} + \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}
3
Calculate $E_{\text{cell}}$: The standard electrode potentials (EE^\circ) for the half-reactions are EZn2+/Zn=0.76 VE^\circ_{\text{Zn}^{2+}/\text{Zn}} = -0.76\ \text{V} and EFe3+/Fe2+=0.77 VE^\circ_{\text{Fe}^{3+}/\text{Fe}^{2+}} = 0.77\ \text{V}. The standard cell potential is Ecell=EcathodeEanode=0.77 V(0.76 V)=1.53 VE^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} = 0.77\ \text{V} - (-0.76\ \text{V}) = 1.53\ \text{V}
4
Calculate $\Delta G$ and $K$: The change in free energy ΔG\Delta G^\circ is calculated using the equation ΔG=nFEcell\Delta G^\circ = -nFE^\circ_{\text{cell}}, where nn is the number of moles of electrons transferred (2 moles), FF is Faraday's constant (96485 C/mol96485\ \text{C/mol}), and EcellE^\circ_{\text{cell}} is the standard cell potential. The equilibrium constant KK is calculated using the equation ΔG=RTlnK\Delta G^\circ = -RT\ln K, where RR is the gas constant (8.314\ \text{J/(mol·K)}) and TT is the temperature in Kelvin (298 K)
5
Calculate $E_{\text{cell}}$ at given concentrations: Use the Nernst equation Ecell=EcellRTnFlnQE_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cell}} - \frac{RT}{nF}\ln Q, where QQ is the reaction quotient. Given the concentrations, Q=[Zn2+][Fe3+]=1.0×1021.0×104=100Q = \frac{[\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}]}{[\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}]} = \frac{1.0 \times 10^{-2}}{1.0 \times 10^{-4}} = 100
1 Answer
Diagram not provided, but the description of the galvanic cell components and their arrangement is given.
2 Answer
The overall cell reaction is Zn+Fe3+Zn2++Fe2+\mathrm{Zn} + \mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+} + \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}.
3 Answer
Ecell=1.53 VE^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 1.53\ \text{V}.
4 Answer
ΔG=2×96485 C/mol×1.53 V=295,082 J/mol\Delta G^\circ = -2 \times 96485\ \text{C/mol} \times 1.53\ \text{V} = -295,082\ \text{J/mol} and KK can be calculated from ΔG=RTlnK\Delta G^\circ = -RT\ln K.
5 Answer
EcellE_{\text{cell}} at the given concentrations can be calculated using the Nernst equation.
Key Concept
Galvanic cells convert chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reactions, and the cell potential can be calculated using standard potentials and the Nernst equation.
Explanation
The galvanic cell operates on the principle of spontaneous redox reactions, with the anode experiencing oxidation and the cathode experiencing reduction. The standard cell potential gives the voltage under standard conditions, while the Nernst equation allows for the calculation of cell potential under non-standard conditions.
