NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potentials MCQ Question
Given E°Ag⁺/Ag = +0.80 V ; E°Cu²⁺/Cu = +0.34 V ; E°Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ = +0.76 V ; E°Ce⁴⁺/Ce³⁺ = +1.60 V Which of the following statements is not correct?
Fe³⁺ does not oxidise Ce³⁺
Cu reduces Ag⁺ to Ag
Ag will reduce Cu²⁺ to Cu
Fe³⁺ oxidises Cu to Cu²⁺
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Fe³⁺ can oxidise Ce³⁺ because E° for Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ is less than E° for Ce⁴⁺/Ce³⁺.
