AIPMT PRELIMS 2011 Chemistry Electrode Potential MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Standard electrode potential for Sn⁴⁺/Sn²⁺ couple is +0.15 V and that for the Cr³⁺/Cr couple is −0.74 V. These two couples in their standard state are connected to make a cell. The cell potential will be

A

+1.83 V

B

+1.19 V

C

+0.89 V

D

+0.18 V

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

E°_cell = E°_cathode(RP) − E°_anode(RP) = 0.15 − (−0.74) = +0.89 V.
