Upper Sixth Electrochemistry Test

Section 1

The cell represented below was set up under standard conditions

Pt | H2SO3 (aq) , SO42- (aq) || Fe3+ (aq), Fe2+ (aq) | Pt

Section 2

In a test, aqueous iron(III) ions are reduced to aqueous iron(II) ions by iodide ions. This reaction could be used to provide electrical energy in a cell.

3

A salt bridge is used to complete the cell. This could be prepared using potassium nitrate solution and filter paper.

Formulae and equations

When you are writing formulae and equations, you need to write your answer in such a way that the computer will recognise your answer. Please following the following instructions:

- Separate all substances with a space (E.g. 4Na + 2O2 --> 2Na2O)

- No space between the stoichiometric number and the compound/ion/element

- The arrow must be formed like this --> It is two dashes and a greater than sign.

- Any charges must be placed in a round bracket, e.g. SO4(2-) for sulfate, H(+) for hydrogen ions, and e(-) for electrons.

- Do not put in state symbols unless asked.

Example: 2ClO3(-) + 12H(+) + 10e(-) --> Cl2 + 6H2O

Diagrams

One question will ask you to draw a diagram. Please draw it on paper, take a picture of it, send it to your computer, and upload it using the function. If you really want to draw it using your mouse, you can, but I definitely don't recommend it.

Marking

Your teacher will mark questions 7, 11, 12 and 13. These questions are written questions and a diagram.
