Answer 1

Answer #1

The reactions are Al+3--------> Al++3e- Eo= 1.66V (1) and Cd+2 +2e- - -----> Cd E0=-0.40V (2)

Multiply Eq.1 with 2 and Eq.2 with 3 gives

2Al+3 + 3Cd ----------2Al + 3Cd+2 Eo= 1.66-0.4= 1.26V

E = EO- (0.0592/n)* loqQ, n = number of eletrons and Q= [Cd+2]³/ [Al+3^]2

1.27= 1.26 -0.0592/6* logQ

Q= 0.097=[ Cd+2]3/ (0.306⁾², [Cd+2]³= 0.097*0.306*0.306

[Cd+2]= 0.2086
