Question: Consider a galvanic cell at standard conditions based on the following half reactions: Au 3+ + 3e - Au o = 1.50 V

Consider a galvanic cell at standard conditions based on the following half reactions:

Au3+ + 3e- → Au ϐo = 1.50 V

Fe3+ + e- → Fe2+ ϐo = 0.77 V

When enough NaCl(s) is added to the compartment containing gold to make the [Cl2] = 0.10 M, the cell potential is observed to be 0.31 V. Assume that Au3+ is reduced, and assume that the reaction in the compartment containing gold is Au3+(aq) + 4Cl2(aq) ⇌ AuCl4(aq) Calculate the value of K for this reaction at 25oC.
