Question

Consider the following reaction at 298K.

I2 (s) + Pb (s) = 2 I- (aq) + Pb2+ (aq)
Which of the following statements are correct?
Choose all that apply.
ΔGo > 0
The reaction is product-favored.
K < 1
Eocell > 0
n = 2 mol electrons
B-

Answer 1

Eªcell > 0; n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction:

I2 (s) + Pb (s) → 2 I- (aq) + Pb2+ (aq)

Is product favored.

A reaction that is product favored has ΔG < 0 (Spontaneous)

K > 1 (Because concentration of products is >>>> concentration reactants).

Eªcell > 0 Because reaction is spontaneous.

And n = 2 electrons because Pb(s) is oxidizing to Pb2+ and I₂ is reducing to I⁻ (2 electrons). Statements that are true are:

Eªcell > 0; n = 2
