Calculate the cell potential for a cell operating with the following reaction at 25 degrees celsius, in which [mno4^1-] = .01m, [br^1-] = .01m, [mn^2+] = .15m, and [h^1+] = 1m. the reaction is 2 mno4^1-(aq) + 10 br^1-(aq) + 16 h^1+(aq) --> 2 mn^2+(aq) + 5 br2(l) + 8 h2o(l)

The cell potential of the cell is 0.31 V

Explanation:

We know that:

The substance having highest positive potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. And, bromine will get oxidized.

Oxidation half reaction:      ( ×  5)

Reduction half reaction:  ( ×  2)

The net reaction follows:

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the of the reaction, we use the equation:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

where,

= electrode potential of the cell = ?V

= standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.44 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 10

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the cell potential of the cell is 0.31 V

the answer is either b or c

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.
