At 298 K, a 1 litre solution containing 10 mmol of Cr2O72– and 100 mmol of Cr3+ shows a pH of 3.0. Given: Cr2O72– → Cr3+ , Eº = 1.33V and (2.303RT)F=0.059V 

The potential for the half cell reaction is x × 10–3 V. The value of x is

Solution

CrO73– + 14H+ + 6e → 2Cr3+  +7H2O

(2.303RT)F=0.059V

E=1.330.0596×42=0.917

E = 917 × 10–3

X = 917
