Using standard reduction potentials (Appendix E), calculate the standard emf for each of the following reactions: (d) 2 NO3-1aq2 + 8 H+1aq2 + 3 Cu1s2 ¡ 2 NO1g2 + 4 H2O1l2 + 3 Cu2+1aq2

검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the half-reactions involved in the overall reaction. For this reaction, the two half-reactions are the reduction of \( \text{NO}_3^- \) to \( \text{NO} \) and the oxidation of \( \text{Cu} \) to \( \text{Cu}^{2+} \).

Write the reduction half-reaction: \( \text{NO}_3^- + 4\text{H}^+ + 3e^- \rightarrow \text{NO} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \).

Write the oxidation half-reaction: \( \text{Cu} \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \).

Look up the standard reduction potentials for each half-reaction in Appendix E. The standard reduction potential for \( \text{NO}_3^- \) to \( \text{NO} \) is typically given, and the standard reduction potential for \( \text{Cu}^{2+} \) to \( \text{Cu} \) is also available.

Calculate the standard emf (\( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \)) by using the formula: \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \), where the cathode is the reduction half-reaction and the anode is the oxidation half-reaction.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Standard Reduction Potentials

Standard reduction potentials are measured voltages that indicate the tendency of a chemical species to gain electrons and be reduced. Each half-reaction has a specific potential, and these values are typically listed in tables. The more positive the potential, the greater the species' ability to be reduced. These values are crucial for calculating the overall cell potential in electrochemical reactions.

Electrochemical Cell and EMF

An electrochemical cell consists of two half-cells where oxidation and reduction reactions occur. The electromotive force (EMF) is the voltage generated by the cell when no current is flowing, representing the maximum potential difference between the two electrodes. The standard EMF can be calculated using the standard reduction potentials of the half-reactions involved, following the equation: EMF = E(cathode) - E(anode).

Balancing Redox Reactions

Balancing redox reactions involves ensuring that both mass and charge are conserved in the reaction. This process includes identifying oxidation and reduction half-reactions, balancing the number of electrons transferred, and adjusting coefficients for reactants and products. Properly balanced reactions are essential for accurate calculations of standard EMF and understanding the stoichiometry of the overall reaction.
