Solid chlorine gas is introduced into a solution containing \(0.10\ \text{M}\) bromide ions. The possible redox reaction is \(\mathrm{Cl_2 + 2\,Br^- \rightarrow 2\,Cl^- + Br_2}\). Using the standard reduction potentials \(\mathrm{Cl_2 + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Cl^-}\) \(E^\circ = +1.36\ \text{V}\) and \(\mathrm{Br_2 + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Br^-}\) \(E^\circ = +1.07\ \text{V}\), (a) calculate the standard cell potential for the reaction, (b) state whether bromine gas will be produced spontaneously, and (c) calculate the equilibrium constant \(K\) at \(25\ ^\circ\text{C}\).

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. E° = 0.29 V; reaction is spontaneous; K ≈ 6.3×10⁹
B. E° = 0.45 V; reaction is spontaneous; K ≈ 1.0×10¹⁶
C. E° = -0.29 V; reaction is non‑spontaneous; K ≈ 1.6×10⁻¹⁰
D. E° = 0.15 V; reaction is spontaneous; K ≈ 2.0×10⁴
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
E° = 0.29 V; reaction is spontaneous; K ≈ 6.3×10⁹
