Question
If the standard emf of the reaction:
Fe + 2 Fe3+ →3Fe2+
will be:
-
0.330 V
-
1.653 V
-
1.212 V
-
0.111 V
Solution
C.
1.212 V
Given that,
So, on the basis of cell reaction following half-cell reactions are written
At anode:
Fe → Fe2+ + 2e- (oxidation)
At cathode:
2Fe3+ + 2e- →2Fe2+ (reduction)
So,
