Textbook Problem 6.43

Postby IsabelMurillo3K » Sun Mar 07, 2021 11:44 pm

Indicate for each of the following statements whether it applies to Ecell°, to Ecell, to both, or to neither: (a) decreases as the cell reaction progresses; (b) changes with temperature; (c) doubles when the coefficients of the equation are doubled; (d) can be calculated from K; (e) is a measure of how far the cell reaction is from equilibrium. Justify your answers.
Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone could explain part C of this problem?
Thank you!

The answer would be neither. As long as the redox equation is correctly balanced, it makes no difference to Ecell* and Ecell what the stoichiometric coefficients are.

In Lavelle's lecture he states that E does not change regardless of the number of electrons involves however we must change the sign if we need the spontaneous or nonspontaneous form.

Standard cell potentials (E) and cell potentials (E) are intensive properties, meaning that the values do not change even when the half reaction is multiplied by a coefficient.
