The standard reduction potential, Eº, for the reaction Fe²+(aq) + 2e- = Fe(s) is -0.44 V while for Zn²+(aq) + 2e-Zn(s) it is -0.7618 V. i) ii) iii) Write a balanced chemical equation for the spontaneous reaction that occurs between these reagents. Calculate the standard cell potential and comment on its value. Determine the cell potential when a piece of iron is placed in a solution containing 0.1 M Zn²+ and 0.5 M Fe²+. Determine the concentration of Fe2+ when equilibrium is established and describe what will happen during the course of the reaction.
