Fe? ³ + e? → Fe? ² E° = 0.77V
Zn (s) → Zn? ² + 2e? ; E° = 0.76V
Cell reaction: 2Fe? ³ + Zn → 2Fe? ² + Zn? ² E°cell = 1.53V
Ecell = E°cell - (0.059/2)log ( [Zn? ²] [Fe? ²]²/ [Fe? ³]²)
1.5 = 1.53 - (0.06/2)log (1 * [Fe? ²]²/ [Fe? ³]²)
-0.03 = -0.03 log ( [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³])²
1 = log ( [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³])² => [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³] = 10
Let total iron = T. [Fe? ³] + [Fe? ²] = T. [Fe? ³] + 10 [Fe? ³] = T. 11 [Fe? ³] = T.
fraction of Fe? ³ = [Fe? ³]/T = 1/11 ≈ 0.09
This solution seems to differ from the image. Let's follow the image's steps.
log ( [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³])² = 1 => ( [Fe? ²]/ [Fe? ³])² = 10
[Fe? ²]/ [Fe?
