AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Chemistry Electrode Potentials MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
If E°Fe²⁺/Fe = -0.441 V and E°Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ = 0.771 V, the standard emf of the reaction: Fe + 2Fe³⁺ → 3Fe²⁺ will be:
A
0.441 V
B
1.753 V
C
1.212 V
D
0.211 V
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The standard emf for the reaction can be calculated using the Nernst equation and the given standard reduction potentials. The overall reaction potential is E° = E°Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ - E°Fe²⁺/Fe = 0.771 V - (-0.441 V) = 0.211 V.
