Provide the balanced equation and calculate the value of E° for the formation of O2 and H2O from H2O2 given the following half-reactions and corresponding E° values:
H2O2(aq) + 2 H+(aq) + 2e− → 2 H2O(l) E°H2O2→H2O = 1.78 V
O2(g) + 2 H+(aq) + 2e− → H2O2(aq) E°O2→H2O2 = 0.70 V
Determine if the reaction is spontaneous under standard-state conditions.
