Question

Please answer it fully and please answer if you're 100% sure of the right answer! 5:33 PM -107 AT&T; 25%, D webassign net (a) Write the line notation for the following cell. (Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.) (b) Calculate the potential of each half-cell and the cell voltage, E. (Assume that the Nernst potential is 0.05916 V) right half-cell v In which direction will electrons flow through the circuit? O Electrons will flow clockwise through the wire from Pt to Al. O Electrons will flow counterclockwise through the wire from Al to Pt. Write the spontaneous net cell reaction. (Use the lowest possible whole number coefficients. Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer.) (c) The left half-cell was loaded with 13.0 mL of Br2(l) (density 3.12 g/mL). The aluminum electrode contains 11.9 g of Al(s). Which element, Br20) or Al(s), is the limiting reagent? (That is, which reagent will be used up first?) Br20)

Explanation / Answer

(a) Cell notation

Al || Al(NO3)2 (0.01 M) || Br2 | HBr (0.1 M) | Pt

(b) For the given electrochemical cell

right half-cell = 1.066 V

Left half-cell = -1.66 V

E = Eo - 0.0592/n logQ

   = (1.066 - (-1.66)) - 0.0592/6 log((0.01)^2/(0.1)^3)

   = 2.7556 V

Direction of flow of current

Counterclockwise from Al to Pt

Spontaneous net cell reaction,

3Br2(aq) + 2Al(s) ---> 2AlBr3 (s)

(c) With the given reaction condition,

the limiting reagent is,

Br2 (l)
