Cl2/Cl¯ Cl2 + 2e¯ 2Cl¯ 1.40


As the I2/I¯ couple is negative with respect to the Br2/Br¯ couple the cell will be:

Pt|I2,I¯||Br2,Br¯|Pt
and iodide ions will reduce Br2 in this reaction.

The half reactions and the cell reaction will be:
2I¯ I2 + 2e¯
Br2 + 2e¯2Br¯
2I¯ + Br2I2 + 2Br¯

and the cell potential, E = E(Br2/Br¯) − E(I2/I¯) = 1.10 V − 0.54 V = 0.56 V
