Answer to Question #200163 in General Chemistry for Master j

Question

Use the data given below, where appropriate, to answer the questions which follow.

Standard electrode potentials in acid solution E /V

Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2e^– → Mg(s) –2.37

Zn²⁺ (aq) + 2e^– → Zn(s) –0.76

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2e^– → Sn²⁺(aq) +0.15

VO²⁺(aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e^– → V³⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) +0.34

VO⁺₂(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + e^– → VO²⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) +1.02

Ce⁴⁺(aq) + e^– → Ce³⁺(aq) +1.70

(a) Give the components of the standard reference electrode used in determining the standard

electrode potentials above. State the conditions under which this standard reference

electrode has a potential of 0.00 V.
