Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the E cell value for a specific redox reaction involving iodate ions (IO3-) and iodine (I2). The focus is on balancing the half-reaction and finding the corresponding E cell value from a reference table, which falls under the category of homework-related inquiry.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a balanced half-reaction involving IO3- and I2, seeking the E cell value.
  • Another participant requests that the original poster show their work to clarify their understanding of the next steps.
  • The original poster expresses confusion about the process, stating that they believe they have done all necessary work but cannot find the E cell value in their textbook.
  • A later reply references a previous discussion that purportedly answered the question, suggesting the original poster check that resource.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on how to proceed with finding the E cell value, as there is uncertainty about the next steps and the availability of the necessary information in the textbook.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in the original poster's understanding of the process and the potential absence of the required reaction in the reference materials they consulted.

IO3-(aq) ---> I2(s)


balanced the 2nd one to

12 H + 2IO3 + 5e- ---> I2 + 6H2O

can anyone tell me the Ecell value for this equation?

You need to show some work from here. Do you know what to do from this step?
 
no thts the reason I am asking, from what we learned there isn't any more work to do

all i had to do was balance the half reaction equation and find that balanced one in the table in my textbook to find the E cell value for it... but i cannot find this reaction!

that is why I am asking how to find the E cell value now?
