Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their `E_(@)` with respect to normal hydrogen electrode values. Using the data obtain the correct explanation to question given below. `{:(I_(2)+2e^(-)rarr2I^(-),E^(@)=0.54),(Cl_(2)+2e^(-)rarr2Cl^(-),E^(@)=1.36),(Mn^(2+)+e^(-)rarrMn^(2+),E^(@)=1.50),(Fe^(3+)+e^(-)rarrFe^(2+),E^(@)=0.77),(O_(2)+4H^(+)+4e^(-)rarr2H_(2)O,E^(@)=1.23):}` Among the following, identify the correct statement:A. Chloride ion is oxidised by `O_(2)`B. `Fe^(2+)` ios oxidised by iodideC. lodide ion is oxidised by chlorineD. `Mn^(2+)` is odidised by chlorine |

Answer» Correct Answer - C On calculating the emf of the cell we find that only the cell involving the oxidation of `1^(-) "ion by " CI_(2)` is positive `(2I^(-)rarrI_(2)+2e^(-),E^(@)=0.54 V)` `{:(CI_(2)+2e^(-)rarr2CI^(-),E^(@)=1.36V),(CI_(2)+2I^(-)rarr2CI^(-)+l_(2),E^(2)_(cell)=1.36-0.54):}`` "In all other cases the" `E^(@)` is -ve |
