(c) Which electrode will act an anode? (d) WHich electrode will act as cathode? |
|
Answer» Solution :The two half cell REDUCTION equations are: `Fe^(2+)(aq)+2e^(-) to Fe(s),E^@=-0.45V`....(i) `CR^(3+)(aq)+3e^(-)toCr(s),E^@=-0.75 V`.....(ii) Since `Cr^(3+)//Cr` electrode has a power reduction POTENTIAL it acts as the anode, while `Fe^(2+)//Fe` electrode with a higher electrode potential acts as the cathode. To equilize the number of electrons, multiply Eq (i) by 3 and Eq. (ii) by 2. But do not multiply their `E^@` values . Thus, `3Fe^(2+)(aq)+6e^(-)toFe(s),E^@=-0.45V`.....(III) `2Cr^(3r)(aq)+6e^(-)to2Cr(s),E^@=-0.75V`.....(iv) To obtain equations for the cell reactions, SUBTRACT Eq. (iv) from Eq. (iii) , we have, `2Cr(s)+3Fe^(2+)(aq)to2Cr^(3+)(aq)+3Fe(s)` `E_(cell)^o=-0.45-(-0.075V)=+0.30V` Thus, the EMF of the cell =+0.30 V |
