Reduction potential for the following h alf-cell reaction are `Zn rarr Zn rarr Zn^(2+)+2e^(-),E_(Zn^(2+)//Zn)^(@) = -0.76V` `Fe rarr Fe^(2+)+2e^(-),E_(Fe^(2+)//Fe)^(@) = -0.44V` The emf for the cell reaction `Fe^(2+)Zn rarr Zn^(2+)+Fe` will beA. `+0.32V`B. `-0.32V`C. `+1.20V`D. `-1.20V`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a) `E_(Zn^(2+)//Zn)^(@)=-0.76V`
`E_(Fe^(2+)//Fe)^(@)=-0.44V`
Cell reaction,
`Fe^(2+)+Zn to Zn^(2+) +Fe`
`E_(cell)^(@)=E_("(cathode)")^(@)-E_("(anode)")^(@)`
`=-0.44 -(-0.76)`
`=+0.32V`
