3. Consider the following electrochemical cell. Standard reduction potentials are given on the next page.
Tl(s) | Tl+(aq, 0.50 mol L−1) || H+(aq, x mol L−1) | H2(g, 1 atm) | Pt(s)
The concentration of H+ is unknown and the pressure of H2 is kept constant at 1 atm. The cell voltage is initially measured as 0.139 V, with the Pt | H2 | H+ half-cell acting as the cathode.
(a) (6 marks) Write out the oxidation and reduction half reactions, and overall chemical reaction occurring in this electrochemical cell. What is the initial pH in the Pt | H+ | H2 half-cell?
(b) (3 marks) What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction occurring in this cell?
