Consider the following cell reaction: `2Fe(2)+O_(2)+4H^(+)(aq)to2Fe^(2+)(aq)+2H_(2)O(l),E^(@)=1.67V` at `[Fe^(2+)]=10^(-3)M,P(O_(2))=0.1` atm and pH=3, the cell potential at `25^(@)C` is,A. 1.47B. 1.77C. 1.87D. 1.57 |
Answer» Correct Answer - D Applying nernst equation to the given reaction, `E_(cell)=E_(cell)^(@)-(0.0591)/(n)"log"([Fe^(2+)]^(2))/(P_(O_(2))xx[H^(+)]^(4))` Fot the given reaction, n=4 and pH=3 means `[H^(+)]=10^(-3)M` `thereforeE_(cell)=1.67-(0.0591)/(2)"log"((10^(-3))^(2))/(0.1xx10^(-3))^(4)` `=1.67-(0.0591)/(4)log10^(7)=1.67-0.10=1.57V` |
