The permanganate ion is a powerful oxidizing agent that oxidizes water to oxygen under standard conditions. MnO 4 1- (aq) + 8H 2 O 1+

The permanganate ion is a powerful oxidizing agent that oxidizes water to oxygen under standard conditions.

MnO41- (aq) + 8H2O1+ (aq) + 5e- Mn2+ (aq) + 12H2O (l) E = +1.507V

O2 (g) + 4H2O1+ (aq) + 4e- 6H2O (l) E = +1.229V

What is the potential of a permanganate-oxygen cell operating at a pH = 7.00 with oxygen at a pressure of 0.200 atm, with [MnO41-] = 0.100 M and [Mn2+] = 0.100 M?

Remember, E = E0 - (0.0592V/n)logQ
