9. Write the balanced equation for the reaction between a) I2 → 2I- + 2e- and Li → Li+ + e- b) Mg → Mg2+ + 2e- and O2 → 2H2O c) Ag → Ag+ + e- and PbO2 → Pb2+ 10. Calculate the emf produced by the above reactions
idk this one maybe @Abhisar can help
okie
Sorry m also not sure
thanks for trying
i wonder if they are asking for this kind of reaction I2 → 2I- + 2e- and Li → Li+ + e- I2 + 2Li ---> 2LiI
yes i think you are correct @Somy , since the question given indicates two half reactions
wait i got it
mm?
The equations given in the question are two half equations of an electrochemical equation 1)I2 → 2I- + 2e- and Li → Li+ + e- \(\bf Solution\) Multiply the second equation with 2 and reverse it. Then add it to the first equation. We will get I\(^2\) + 2I → 2I\(^-\) + 2Li\(^+\)
*equation = reaction
got it ?
u wrote something wrong in the reaction
yes i know..it's a typo..LOL I2 + 2Li ---> 2I- + 2LI+
clear now ?
Thank you :)

For question b, is it the same?
~_~ its same as i wrote tho @Abhisar
but q is how to find Emf
yes, i said u were correct. but u wrote it in a combined way
0.54 - (-3.05) = 3.59\(\approx\)3.6 V
Is this the answer for 1st one ?
I don't have the answers :(
Hmmm..i think i am most probably correct !
i'll tell u how i calculated it
would you mind showing me how to do q b as well please?
E\(_{cell}\)=E\(_{Reduced}\)-E\(_{Oxidised}\)
In the equation I is reduced and Li is oxidised
got upto this ?
yes
whats next?
Now from standard Electrode potential table E I = 0.54 & E Li = -3.05
Substitute the values and find the answer
Now can u do the second one ?
which is oxidized and which is reduced in the second one?
In general the one which looses electron gets oxidised and the one who gains electron gets reduced.
so Mg → Mg2+ + 2e- oxidizes O2 → 2H2O reduction
Mg - oxi O2 - red
standard Electrode potential table E Mg = 2.37 & E 02 = -0.40
= -2.77
is that right @Abhisar
yes i think so
bt not sure, so do cross check it with othrs
sure
