Corrosion of iron is essentially an electrochemical phenomenon where the cell reactions are :

• Fe is oxidised to Fe²⁺ and dissolved oxygen in water is reduced to OH^-

• Fe is oxidised to Fe³⁺ and H₂O is reduced to ${\mathrm{O}}_2^{2-}$

• Fe is oxidised to Fe²⁺ and H₂O is reduced to ${\mathrm{O}}_2^{2-}$

• Fe is oxidised to Fe²⁺ and H₂O is reduced to O₂

On the basis of standard electrode potential of redox couples given below, find out which of the following is the strongest oxidising agent.

(E$°$ values : Fe³⁺ | Fe²⁺ = +0.77 V; I_2(s) | I^- = +0.54 V; Cu²⁺ | Cu = +0.34 V; Ag⁺ | Ag = +0.80 V)

• Fe³⁺

• I_2(s)

• Cu²⁺

• Ag⁺

Assertion : If standard reduction potential for the reaction Ag⁺ + e^- $\to$ Ag is 0.80 volt, then for the reaction 2Ag⁺ + 2e^- $\to$ 2Ag, it will be 1.60 volt.

Reason: If concentration of Ag⁺ ions is doubled, the standard electrode potential is also doubled.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false.
