A tricky cell notation?
« on: June 22, 2013, 10:51:53 AM »
The question is to draw a cell notation for the following reaction in a galvanic cell.

4Fe2+(aq) + O2(g) + 4H+(aq)  :rarrow: 4Fe3+(aq) + 2H2O(l)

This is how I wrote it:

{Pt(s)|Fe2+(aq)(1M), Fe3+(aq)(1M)||H2O(l)|H+(aq)(1M)|O2(g)|Pt(s)}

Is this correct? I was unsure of what to do with the H2O since I've never seen it in a cell notation before. But I included it because it makes the whole flow of electrons from left to right make sense.

Any help would be very appreciated!
