Calculate the E°cell for the following equation. Use these standard potentials .
ClO-4(aq)+6H3O+(aq)+6Br-(aq)= 3Br2(aq)+ClO-(aq)+9H2O(l)
ClO^4- + 6H3O+ + 6Br- --> 3Br2 + ClO- + 9H2O
Eo cell = Eo ( reduction half) - Eo ( oxidation half) ( where Eo is standard reduction potential)
= Eo ( ClO4-/ClO- ) - Eo ( Br2/Br-)
= 1.36 - 1.09 = 0.27 V ( Eo values taken from web)
