Refer to the stability of [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ (aq) (a) Verify that E cell

Question:

Refer to the stability of [Co(NH3)6]3+(aq)

(a) Verify that E°cell reaction (24.12) is +0.59 V.

(b) Calculate [Co3+] in a solution at equilibrium that has a total concentration of cobalt of 0.1 M and [NH3] = 0.1 M.

(c) Show that for the value of [Co3+] calculated in part (b), reaction (24.12) will not occur. Assume a low, but reasonable, concentration of Co2+ (say, 1 x 104 M) and a partial pressure of O2(g) of 0.2 atm.

Reaction (24.12)

4Co3+(aq) +2H,O(1) 4 Co+ (aq) + 4H+ (aq) + O(g) Ecell = +0.59 V (24.12)
