Hello! We've been given this problem
Show that when pH = 5.5 [Fe3+]/[Fe2+] = 200
Given E°(O2/H2O) = 1.23 V
Eº (Fe3+/Fe2+) = 0.77 V
And Ecell=0.46V
I think I know roughly what to do but am a bit confused, because doesn't the E° of this equation also equal 0.46V so any reaction quotient will come out as equal to zero? Or am I misunderstanding something?
Thank you very much
