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.
