Question

Determine E° for the following reaction:

F₂(g) + 2Na(s) → 2Na⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)

Under standard-state conditions, is the reaction spontaneous?

Accepted Answer

E°_cell = 5.58 V
The reaction is spontaneous under standard-state conditions.

Answer

E°_cell = −5.58 V
The reaction is nonspontaneous under standard-state conditions.

Answer

E°_cell = 0.16 V
The reaction is spontaneous under standard-state conditions.

Answer

E°_cell = −0.16 V
The reaction is nonspontaneous under standard-state conditions.
