The two half-cell reactions of an electrochemical cell is given as

Ag+ e- → Ag; EAg+/ Ag° = -0.3995 V

Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e-EFe3+/ Fe2+° = -0.7120 V

The value of cell EMF will be

At 25°C, the molar conductance of 0.007 M hydrofluoric acid is 150 mho cm2mol-1 and its Λ°m = 500 cm2mol-1. The value of the dissociation constant of the acid at the given concentration at 25°C is

  • 7 × 10-4 M

  • 7 × 10-5 M

  • 9 × 10-3 M

  • 9 × 10-4 M

The standard reduction potential Eo for half-reaction are:

Zn  Zn2+ + 2e- ; E° = + 0.76V

Fe  Fe2+ + 2e- ; E° = + 0.41 V

The EMF of the cell reaction

Fe2+ + Zn  Zn2+ + Fe is :

  • - 0.35 V

  • + 0.35 V

  • + 1.17 V

  • - 1.17 V


734.

The formal potential of Fe3+ /Fe2+ in a sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid mixture (E° = +0.61 V) is much lower than the standard potential (E° = +0.77 V). This is due to

  • formation of the species [FeHPO4]+

  • lowering of potential upon complexation

  • formation of the species [FesO4]+

  • high acidity of the medium

  • 0.59 V

  • 0.00 V

  • -0.59 V

  • - 0.059

Cadmium rods are used for which purpese?

  • Emit electrons

  • Absorb neutrons

  • Emit neutrons

  • Absorb electrons


B.
