An excess of liquid mercury is added to an acidified solution of 1.0 $$\times$$ 10^-3 M Fe³⁺. It is found that 5% of Fe³⁺ remains at equilibrium at 25^oC. Calculate $$E_{Hg_2^{2 + }|\,Hg}^o$$, assuming that only reaction that occurs is
2Hg + 2Fe³⁺ $$\to$$ $$Hg_2^{2+}$$ + 2Fe²⁺
(Given $$E_{F{e^{3 + }}|\,F{e^{2 + }}}^o$$ = 0.77 V)

The Edison storage cells is represented as
Fe(s) | FeO(s) | KOH (aq) | Ni₂O₃(s) | Ni(s)
The half-cell reactions are:
Ni₂O₃ + H₂O (l) + 2e^- $$\leftrightharpoons$$ 2NiO(s) + 2OH^-; E^o = +0.40V
FeO(s) + H₂O(l) + 2e^- $$\leftrightharpoons$$ Fe(s) + 2OH^-; E^o = -0.87V
(i) What is the cell reaction?
(ii) What is the cell e.m.f? How does it depend on the concentration of KOH?
(iii) What is the maximum amount of electrical energy that can be obtained from one mole of Ni₂O₃?

The standard reduction potential of the Ag⁺/Ag electrode at 298 K is 0.799V. Given that for AgI, K_sp = 8.7 $$\times$$ 10^-17, evaluate the potential of the Ag⁺/Ag electrode in a saturated solution of AgI. Also calculate the standard reduction potential of the I^-/ AgI/Ag electrode.

Chromium metal can be plated out from an acidic solution containing CrO₃ according to the following equation
CrO₃ (aq) + 6H⁺ (aq) + 6e^- $$\to$$ Cr(s) + 3H₂O
Calculate (i) how many grams of chromium will be plated out by 24,000 coulombs and (ii) how long will it take to plate out 1.5 g of chromium by using 12.5 amp current.
