CAIE A-Level Chemistry A2 24.2.9 Nernst Equation Topic Practice

Question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

Some electrode potentials are shown in Table 3.1.

Table 3.1

Table 3.1

Another electrochemical cell is set up using an Fe3+/Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} / \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} electrode and an alkaline ClO/Cl\mathrm{ClO}^{-} / \mathrm{Cl}^{-} electrode.

The concentration of Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} is 1000 times greater than the concentration of Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} in the Fe3+/Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} / \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} electrode. All other conditions are standard.

Use the Nernst equation to calculate the E value of the Fe3+/Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} / \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} electrode.
