Question: Using half-cell potentials, calculate the equilibrium constant at 298.15K for the reaction 2H 2 O(l) 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g). Compare your

Using half-cell potentials, calculate the equilibrium constant at 298.15K for the reaction 2H2O(l) ⇋ 2H2(g) + O2(g). Compare your answer with that calculated using ΔG°f values from Table 4.1 (see Appendix B). What is the value of E° for the overall reaction that makes the two methods agree exactly?
