For the cell reaction, `2Cr^(4+)+Coto2Ce^(3+)+Co^(2+)" "E_((cell))^(@)` is 1.89V and `E_(Co//Co^(2+))^(@)=-0.028`. If `E_(Ce^(4+)//Ce^(3+))^(@)`A. `-1.64V`B. `+1.64V`C. `-2.08V`D. `+2.17V`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
In this cell Co is oxidised and it acts as anode and Ce acts as cathode.
`E_(Cell)^(@)=E_("cathode")^(@)-E_("anode")^(@)=1.89=E_(Cell)^(@)-(-0.28)`
`E_(Cell)^(@)=-1.89-0.28=1.61`volt.
