Calculate E°cell and indicate whether the overall reaction shown is spontaneous or nonspontaneous. O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e− ⇄ 2H2O(l) E° = 1.229 V
Al3+(aq) + 3e− ⇄ Al(s) E° = −1.662 V
Overall reaction:
4Al(s) + 3O2(g) + 12H+(aq) → 4Al3+(aq) + 6H2O(l)
A) E° cell = −2.891 V, nonspontaneous
B) E° cell = −2.891 V, spontaneous
C) E° cell = 2.891 V, nonspontaneous
D) E° cell = 2.891 V, spontaneous
E) None of these choices are correct.
