I have a few queries :
1. What is the potential of hydrogen electrode in contact with a solution whose pH is 10?
I tried to use the formula related to gibbs energy and equilibrium constant but got struk there.
2. Is the reaction between Br2 and Fe+2 feasible ?
Standard electrode potential : EBr2/Br- = 1.09 and EFe2+/Fe = -0.44.
Thus Br2 in this case is a better oxidising agent and
Br2 + Fe+2 :rarrow: 2Br- + Fe , this reaction isn't feasible.
Am I right ?

1 - just use Nernst equation, simple plug and chug.
2 - Fe/Fe2+ is not the only Fe2+ reaction.

Thank you sir Borek. :)
