I'm trying to calculate the standard half potential of this reaction:
SO
32- + 3 H
2O + 4 e
- S
0 + 6 OH
-and I would like for someone to verify if I did it right.
I know the following:
ΔG
f(S
0)=0 kJ/mol
ΔG
f(SO
32-)=-486.6 kJ/mol
ΔG
f(H
2O)=-237.14 kJ/mol
ΔG
f(OH
-)=-157.2 kJ/mol
T=303.15 K
pH=8.5
[SO
32-]=1·10
-6 M
[OH
-]=10
-(14-pH)First, I calculated ΔG
0=-ΔG
f(SO
32-)-3·ΔG
f(H
2O)+6·ΔG
f(OH
-)=+254.8 kJ/mol
Then, I calculated E
0=(ΔG
0/4·F)·1000=-0.660 V
Finally, I calculated E=E
0-(R·T/4·F)·ln(([OH
-])
6/[SO
32-])=-0.254V
However, I expected this value to be closer to -0.1V. Did I do something wrong?
