Consider the following redox reaction: `2lrCl_(6)^(3-)+3HCOOHto2lr+3CO_(2)+12Cl^(-)+6H^(+)` Given: `CO_(2)+2H_(3)O^(+)+2etoHCOOH+2H_(2)O" "E^(@)=-0.20V` `lrCl_(6)^(3-)+3etolr+6Cl^(-)" "E^(@)=0.77V` (a). Determine standard state emf of cell. (b). Is this reaction thermodynamically spontaneous as written? Briefly explain.

Answer» Correct Answer - (a). `E_(cell)^(@)=0.97`
(b). Reaction is thermodynamically spontaneous since `triangleG^(@)lt0`.
