Given that Eocell= 3.2 V for the reaction: 2 X(s) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2 X+(aq) + 2 Cl−(aq) and that Cl2(g) has a standard reduction potential of 1.36 V, what is the standard reduction potential of X+(aq)? Enter your answer to two decimal places in units of v

-1.84 V

Explanation:

Eocell = Ecathode - Eanode

From the equation (the one that they give us), we can see that Cl2 is being reduced (it is gaining electrons).

Reduction always happens at the cathode, so we now know that the standard reduction potential of Cl2 is the Ecathode value

So, we can set up the equation like this:

3.2 V = 1.36 V - x

Solving for x gives us:

x = -1.84 V
