Ok. Two Problems. Write balanced redox equations and determine both the cell potential and the number of electrons transferred for the spontaneous redox process that occurs when the following couples are connected.
What are the redox equations, cell potential, and electrons transferred?(for a and b )
a) Ni^2+/Ni + Pb^2+/Pb
b) H^1+/H2 + Al^3+/Al
This is the one that I did...
I was given Cl2/Cl^1- + Br2/Br^1- (as the redox couples)
The equation I made was: Cl2+2Br^1- -> 2Cl^1-+Br2
The cell potential was .27.
And I think electrons transferred was: 2.

I got the answer for the
Ni2+/Ni + Pb2+/Pb
which was
Pb^2+ + Ni -> Pb + Ni^2+
and .10 and 2.
But can't figure out what I did wrong on the: H1+/H2 + Al3+/Al
Right now I have:
2H^1+ + Al -> H2 + Al^3+
(which is wrong)
1.66 for cell potential (which is right)
and:
2 for electrons transferred (also wrong)
