A calculate the standard cell potential for the following


Standard Reduction Potentials

Cu2+ | Cu        +0.34V

Ni2+  | Ni         -0.24V

Co2+ | Co        -0.28V

Fe2+ | Fe        -0.44V

Zn2+ | Zn        -0.76V

Mg2+ | Mg       -2.36V

a) Calculate the standard cell potential for the following cell

Cu (s) | Cu2+ (aq) (1M) || Co2+ (aq) (1M) | Co (s)

b) The following cell was constructed and found to produce a voltage of 1.08 V.

Co (s) | Co2+ (aq) (1M) || Ag+ (aq) (1M) | Ag (s)

Calculate the standard reduction potential for Ag+ (aq) | Ag (s)

c) Which of these species is the best oxidising agent? (please explain)

1.Mg2+(aq)

2.Zn2+(aq)

3. Co2+(aq)

4. Fe2+(aq)
