The standard reduction potential for the half-reaction HClO(aq) + H+(aq) + e- → ½Cl2(g) + H2O(l) is 1.61 V. What is the standard reduction potential for the following half-reaction? 2HClO(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2e- → Cl2(g) + 2H2O(l) - Ans: 1.61 V Given that Eºcell = 0.60 V for a voltaic cell in which the following redox reaction takes place 2Rh(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2Rh3+(aq) + 6Cl-(aq) and that the standard reduction potential for the half-reaction Cl2(g) + 2e- → 2Cl-(aq) is 1.36 V, calcul...
