Calculate the standard cell potentials of galvanic cell in which the following reactions take place: (i) 2Cr(s) + 3Cd2+(aq) → 2Cr3+(aq) + 3Cd (ii) Fe2+(aq) + Ag+(aq) → Fe3+(aq) + Ag(s) Calculate the ∆rGJ and equilibrium constant of the reactions.

Solution:

(i) Given:

   


The galvanic cell of the given reaction is represented as :

   


Now, the standard cell potential is

   

   


In the given equation,

   



Then substuiting the value of parameters in the formula we get,

   

   


ii) The galvanic cell of the given reaction is represented as follows:

   


Now, the standard cell potential is

   


Here,
Then substuiting we have,

   


Again,


(approximately)
