Calculate the standard potential for this cell at 25∘C

Question

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of titanium in a 1.0 M titanium(II) ion solution and a second electrode composed of tin in a 1.0 M tin(II) ion solution, connected by a salt bridge. Calculate the standard potential for this cell at 25∘C .Use this list of standard reduction potentials.

Answer 1

From the table of standard reduction potentials, we have...

Ti²⁺(aq) + 2e- ==> Ti(s) .. Eº = -1.63 V (anode)

Sn²⁺(aq) + 2e- ==> Sn(s) .. Eº = -0.14 V (cathode)

Eº_cell = cathode - anode

Eº_cell = -0.14 - (-1.63)

Eº_cell = 1.49 V
