(A) The reduction half-reaction is: $O_{2(g)} + 4 H^+ + 4 e^- ightarrow 2 H_2O_{(l)} ; E_{red}^{0} = 1.23 \ V$Using the Nernst equation:$E = E^0 - \frac{0.0591}{n} \log \frac{1}{[H^+]^4}$Given $pH = 5$,so $[H^+] = 10^{-5} \ M$.$E = 1.23 - \frac{0.0591}{4} \log \frac{1}{(10^{-5})^4}$$E = 1.23 - \frac{0.0591}{4} \log (10^{20})$$E = 1.23 - \frac{0.0591 	imes 20}{4}$$E = 1.23 - 0.0591 	imes 5$$E = 1.23 - 0.2955 = 0.9345 \ V$Note: The question asks for the potential of the oxidation reaction $2 H_2O ightarrow O_2 + 4 H^+ + 4 e^-$. The reduction potential calculated is $0.9345 \ V$. The oxidation potential is $-0.9345 \ V$. However,based on standard textbook problems of this type,the question often implies the reduction potential of the $O_2/H_2O$ couple at the given $pH$. Re-evaluating the provided options,$1.52 \ V$ is the standard answer for $pH = 0$ to $pH = 5$ shift calculations in specific contexts,but mathematically $0.9345 \ V$ is correct for the reduction potential.
