I. Modified True or False: Read the following statements carefully, and then write TRUE if the statement is
true. Otherwise, change the underlined word to make the statement true.
1. Zn can be substituted by Mg as an oxidizing agent in Experiment # 14 (Selected Redox Reactions).
2. A certain voltage is applied in an electrolytic cell to make a non-spontaneous reaction spontaneous.
3. A yellow precipitate, Zn3[Fe(CN)2], is produced if K4Fe(CN)6 is added to a Zn2+ solution.
4. The charge of Co in the complex [CoCl(NO2)(NH3)4]+ is +4.

1. a. Determine the standard reduction potential of Cr3+(aq) + 3e- → Cr(s) given the E˚red of E˚Cr2+/Cr = -0.91V
and E˚Cr3+/Cr2+ = -0.41V.
b. Using Cr3+(aq) + 3e- → Cr(s) as the anode with [Cr3+] = 1M, determine whether the reaction is
spontaneous or not, and if Pb(s) can be plated out from the following cathodes:
i. PbSO4(s) + 2e- → Pb(s) + SO42-(aq) E˚red = -0.356
ii. Pb (aq) + 2e → Pb(s)
2+ - E˚red = -0.126
