1. Determine ΔGo for the following reaction:

2 Na(s) + 2 H2O(l) --> H2(g) + 2OH-(aq) + 2 Na+(aq)

2. Calculate K for the oxidation of iron by H+:

2 Fe(s) + 6 H+(aq) --> 2 Fe3+(aq) + 3H2(g)

1.

   2Na(s) ------------------> 2Na^+ (aq) + 2e^-      E0   = 2.71v

2H2O(l) +2e^- -------> H2(g) + 2OH^- (aq)         E0 = -0.83v

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Na(s) + 2 H2O(l) --> H2(g) + 2 OH-(aq) + 2 Na+(aq)    E0cell = 1.88v

n = 2

ΔGo    = -nE0cell*F

           = -2*1.88*96500

           = -362840J/mole    = -362.84KJ/mole

2.

2Fe(s) --------------> 2Fe^3+(aq) + 6e^-       E0 = 0.04v

6H^+ (aq) + 6e^- ------> 3H2(g)                  E0   = 0.00v

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Fe(s) + 6 H+(aq) --> 2 Fe3+(aq) + 3 H2(g)     E0cell = 0.04v

n = 6

ΔGo    = -nE0cell*F

           = -6*0.04*96500

              = -23160J/mole

ΔGo    = -RTlnK

-23160   = -8.314*298*2.303logK

-23160 = -5705.84logK

logK         = -23160/-5705.84

logK         = 4.06

K             = 10^4.06   = 1.15*10^4 >>>>answer
