Balance the redox reaction to find out how many moles of electrons are being transferred (it's 2 moles, unless I'm mistaken). n = 2, e = the cell potential, which is given in the problem. then use the given formula to find k

what do you need help on?

amiinsane69 · Answer

I just don't understand how to do any of this. Chemistry is so hard for me.

vocaloid · Answer

Well, you're in luck, this is my speciality. Do you have any specific questions about this problem?

amiinsane69 · Answer

I just needed the answer.

Thank you, it means a lot.

vocaloid · Answer

No problem. Also, you're missing an exponent sign in the original problem: k=10^(ne/0.0592) :)

amiinsane69 · Answer

Heheh but you know what I meant! I'm a noob, this is my first time using this website, I don't know how it works!

vocaloid · Answer

Haha, it's my first day as well, but anyways, good luck ~ I'm very good with chemistry so if you ever need help, just let me know.
