Textbook Question 6.73

Postby Jake Matsumoto 3E » Wed Mar 13, 2024 11:30 am

Can someone explain question 6.73 in the textbook? I'm very confused how to approach this problem. If someone could explain how to set it up and recognize key components of the problem, that would be great. Thanks!

Find the anode oxidation half-reaction

Al + 3OH− → Al(OH)3 + 3e−

Find the cathode reduction half-reaction

O2 + 2H2O + 4e− → 4OH−

Then balance the equation and find E0cell = E0cathode - E0 anode
