Part 6 Chemical Equilibria (Book 2, p.231 – p.239) 37. (a) A — Pt electrode B — aq. Fe2+ (1 mol/dm3) and aq. Fe3+ (1 mol/dm3) C — voltmeter D — 1 atm. pressure (b) (i) The positive pole is electrode A : Fe3+/Fe2+ half-cell. (ii) Electrons flow from the standard hydrogen electrode to electrode A. Increasing hydrogen ion concentration ( 1 mol/dm3 and lower pH) will shift hydrogen equilibrium to LHS, i.e. more reduction occurs. H2(g) 2H+(aq) + 2e– ( E((H+/H2) 0 V Lower H2(g) pressure (i.e. 1 atm.) shifts hydrogen equilibrium to LHS ( E((H+/H2) 0 V (d) (i) = – =
