Question: (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction and calculate E for the reaction. (b) Predict whether an equimolar mixture of PuO 2 2 +

(a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction and calculate E° for the reaction.

+0.966 +1.006 PuO3+ PuOf Pu4+ -> → Pu3+ 1.021


(b) Predict whether an equimolar mixture of PuO22+ and PuO+2 will oxidize H2O to O2 at a pH of 2.00 and PO2 = 0.20 bar. Will O2 be liberated at pH 7.00?

+0.966 +1.006 PuO3+ PuOf Pu4+ -> Pu3+ 1.021
