determinate the direction of the reaction 2Fe
3+ + 2I
- I
2 + 2Fe
2+ when every specie is 1 mol/dm
-3 and find the concentration of every ionic specie when the equilibrium is reached. T = 25 °C
E
Fe3+/
Fe2+ = 0,771V
E
I2/I- = 0,536V
given the Nernst's formula i find the Keq
E = RT/zF * logKeq
Keq = 10
(zE/0,05916) = 8,8*10
7[Fe
3+] = [I
-] = 1-2x
[Fe
2+] = 1+2x
then i don't know how to proceed. i've tried to substitute the results above in the Keq equation but i wasn't able to find the results.
for example
Keq = 1+2x/(1-2x)
