Will(cathode) =0.19 Vreduce 0.10MSbO+at pH 2 by the reactionSbO++2H++3e-Sb(s)+H2O,E°=0.208V?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given E (cathode) is not enough to reduce SbO+.

Step by step solution

01

Define Electric current

When the electric current is too small, the voltage of cell is given as

E=E( cathode )-E( anode)

E( cathode) is electrode's potential which is attached to the negative terminal of the current source.

E (anode) is electrode's potential which is attached to the positive terminal of the current source.

Overpotential:The activation energy of a reaction at an electrode can be overcome by voltage. The required voltage to apply is called overpotential.

Ohmic potential: In an electrochemical cell, the electrical resistance of a solution while current I flows can be overcome by voltage. The required voltage to apply is called ohmic potential.

Eohmic=IR

Concentration Polarization: It is the change in concentration of products and reactants at the electrode's surface unlike they are the same in solution.

02

Determine the given E (cathode) is enough to reduce SbO+or not.

Given,

The concentration ofSbO+ is 0.1M.

E( cathode)0.208-0.059162log10.10=0.11V

In order to reduce SbO+,0.11Vis required. But the given E (cathode) for reducing is 0.19 V. Thus,SbO+ reduction does not happen.

(a) At what cathode potential will Sb(s)deposition commence from 0.010MSbO+solution at pH 0.00? Express this potential versus S.H.E. and versusAg|AgCI. (Disregard overpotential, about which you have no information.)

SbO++2H++3e-Sb(s)+H2OE°=0.208V

(b) What percentage of0.10MCu2+could be reduced electrolytically to Cu(s)before0.010MSbO+in the same solution begins to be reduced at pH 0.00?

A dilute Na2SO4solution is to be electrolyzed with a pair of smooth Pt electrodes at a current density of 100A/m2and a current of 0.100A. The products areH2(g)andO2(g)at1.00barandatbar. Calculate the required voltage if the cell resistance is2.00Ωand there is no concentration polarization. What voltage would be required if the Pt electrodes were replaced by Au electrodes?

Anode: CI-12CI2+e-

HgCathode:Na++H2O+e-NaOH+12H2

The Nafion membrane (page 421) used to separate the anode and cathode compartments resists chemical attack. Its anionic side chains permit conduction ofNa+ , but not anions. The cathode compartment contains pure water, and the anode compartment contains seawater from which Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been removed. Explain how the membrane allows NaOH to be formed free ofNaCI.
