Question

The reduction of oxygen gas in 1M aqueous acid is represented by this equation (Eo=1.23V)
O2(g)+4H+(aq)+4e2H2O(l)
The potential for this reaction at physiological pH, where [H+]=1×107 and the partial pressure of O2 is 1 atm, will be closest to which value?

Solution

GivenE0=1.23V&[H+1]=1×107E=E00.0594log1[H+1]4=1.230.0594log1[107]4=1.230.413=0.817V
