Question

Researchers are attempting to create a new battery based on the following chemistry and would like the battery to produce 1.0-1.2 volts.  Given the standard cell potential of the reaction, they propose to connect 3 identical cells inside the single new battery.  Calculate the voltage of this (3-cell) battery at 25oC when 1.3 M Fe2+ and 0.010 M Fe3+ in pH 4.1 buffer react with O2 at 0.20 atm.

4 Fe2+(aq)   +   O2(g)  +  4 H+(aq)  ⟶   4 Fe3+(aq)   +   2H2O(l)  Eocell=0.46 volts
