My  answers (a) 

The balanced reaction equation is 2VO2+  + 3Zn  + H2O ⇌  3ZnO + 2VO + 2H+

[math]E^{\circ}_{rxn} = E^{\circ}_{VO_2^+} - E^{\circ}_{Zn} = 1.00 V - (-0.76) V = 1.76 V [/math]

 

(b) [math] E = E^{\circ}_{Cu} - \frac{0.059}{n} \log \frac{1}{[Cu^{2+}]}[/math]

[math] E= 0.34 V - \frac{0.059}{2}\log \frac{1}{[0.10]}= 0.31 V [/math]

 

 I am working on other  questions.

Any chemistry help will be accepted.

My  answers (a) 

The balanced reaction equation is 2VO2+  + 3Zn  + H2O ⇌  3ZnO + 2VO + 2H+

Erxn=EVO+2EZn=1.00V(0.76)V=1.76V

 

(b) E=ECu0.059nlog1[Cu2+]

E=0.34V0.0592log1[0.10]=0.31V

 

 I am working on other  questions.

Jolly good.

I'm not sure we ought to be offering to check all your answers, quite apart from the effort it requires (at least speaking for myself). If you've got specific queries, we can try to help with those.

 I want to correct my answer to (a) The balanced reaction  is 2VO2+  + Zn0  + 2H ⇌  2VO2+   +  Zn2+   + H2O

 

Answer to (c) Reduction: [math]E = E^{\circ}_{Ag} - \frac{0.059}{n}\log{ \frac{1}{[Ag^+]}}= 0.80 V - \frac{0.059}{1} \log{\frac{1}{[0.035]}} =  0.71 V[/math]

Oxidation: [math]E= E^{\circ}_{Fe} - \frac{0.059}{n} \log {\frac{[Fe^{2+}]}{[Fe^{3+}]}}= 0.77 V - \frac{0.059}{1} \log{\frac{[0.0010]}{[0.010]}} = 0.83 V[/math]

Ecell = Ered  - Eox = 0.71 - 0.83 = -0.12 V

I am doubtful about my answer to (d).

My attempt to answer (d):

Reduction: E = E°AgCl  - [math]\frac{0.059}{n} \log {[Cl^-]} = 0.22 V  - \frac{0.059}{1} \log{[0.20]} = 0.26 V[/math] 

Oxidation: E= E°TiO2+  - [math]\frac{0.059}{n} \log {\frac{[Ti^{3+}]}{[Ti^{2+}] [H^+]^2}} [/math] =[math] 0.10 V - \frac{0.059}{1}\log {\frac{[0.010]} {[0.20][0.0020]^2}}= -0.14 V [/math]

Ecell   = Ered  - Eox = 0.26 V - (-0.14 V) = 0.40 V Is this answer correct?

I've not seen that method of mass accounting before, well done for spotting the issue and presenting it.  +1

However perhaps you should explain the meaning of your square brackets, some may have difficulty working it out for themselves.

  Hi, 

   Thanks for finding out the fault in  my answer.

  Now, I rewrite the corrected balanced  reaction 2VO2+  + Zn0  + 4H+  ⇌ 2VO2+  + Zn2+  + 2H2

If I write the balanced equation as 2VO2+  + Zn0  + 2H+ ⇌ 2VO2+  + Zn2+O-2 + H2O

Is this correct?

Answer to question(d):

                                                      Co3+                         +                 V2+                         →                      Co2+                          +                      V3+

image.thumb.png.70f3bef09b7f3e021dedc8a584779261.png 

 

Defined redox couple is  Co3+/Co2+ system

[math] [Co^{2+}] = \frac{0.0050 mol}{0.200L} =0.025 M, [Co^{3+}]= \frac{0.010 mol}{0.200 L}=0.050 M, E_{sol}= E^{\circ}_{Co} -\frac{0.059}{n} \log{\frac{[Co^{2+}]}{[Co^{3+}]}} = 1.82 V - \frac{0.059}{1}\log{\frac{[0.025]}{[0.050]}} =1.84 V [/math]

I do not know.

Perhaps split apart the reduction from the oxidation reaction.

What is oxidized, what is reduced? Is the start => change  of the solution set-up to allow this reaction? 

Remember they want the E°.
