Maximum Standard Single Cell Potential
Under standard conditions, what is the maximum single cell potential that might be attained using reagents found in the table of standard reduction potentials for common half-reactions, in your text?
Note: 7.5 V is not the correct answer
The maximum standard single cell potential can be achieved when the most oxidizing and the most reducing elements are concerned.
The most oxidizing element is fluorine, F. The half cell reaction and the standard reduction potential are
Half cell: F2 (g) + 2 e- ---------> 2 F- (aq)
Standard reduction potential: +2.87 V
The most reducing element is lithium, Li. The half cell reaction and the standard reduction potential are
Half cell: Li+ (aq) + e- -------> Li (s)
Standard reduction potential: -3.05 V
The maximum cell potential is obtained when a cell is constructed where F2 is reduced and Li is oxidized. The half reactions and the standard potentials are given.
Reduction: F2 (g) + 2 e- ---------> 2 F- (aq) E0red = +2.87 V
Oxidation: Li (s) ---------> Li+ (aq) + e- E0ox = -E0Li+/Li = -(-3.05 V) = +3.05 V
The maximum single cell potential is
E0cell = E0red + E0ox
= (+2.87 V) + (+3.05 V)
= +5.92 V (ans).
