If the half cell reactions are given as (i) `Fe_((aq))^(2+)+2etoFe_((s)),E^(o)=0.44V` (ii) `2H_((aq))^(+)+(1)/(2)O_(2(g))+2etoH_(2)O_((l)),E^(o)=+1.23V` The `E^(o)` for the reaction `Fe_((s))+2H^(+)+(1)/(2)O_(2(g))toFe_((aq))^(2+)+H_(2)O_((l))`A. `+1.67V`B. `-1.67V`C. `+0.79V`D. `-0.79V`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii) we will get equation (iii)
`Fe_((s))+2H^(+)+(1)/(2)O_(2)toFe_((aq))^(2+)+H_(2)O_((l))` . . .(iii)
So, `E^(o)=E_(2)^(o)--E_(1)^(0)`
`=+1.23-(-0.44)=+1.6V`
