Cobalt(II) ions (Co2*(aq)) react with 6 equivalents of a ligand (L) to from the complex
cation CoL62+(aq) with K¢ = 2.98 × 105. To verify this, an electrochemical
concentration cell is constructed. To one half of the cell, the initial concentration of
Co2*(aq) is 0.0100 M and the initial concentration of L is 1.00 M. This solution is
allowed to reach thermodynamic equilibrium. A Co(s) electrode is added to this
solution and it is connected with a wire to a voltmeter to the other half cell, which
has a Co(s) electrode and [Co2+(aq)]=1.00M. A salt bridge connects the two half
cells. Determine the Ecell (in V) immediately read when the electrodes are in their
respective solution at 298 K. Note that the complex cation CoL62+(ag) is a spectator
species in this electrochemical concentration cell, it does not participate in a redox
reaction.
