Consider the equilibrium obtained by electrically connecting zinc-amalgam Zn(Hg) and HgO electrodes in mercury cell,
Au(Hg) + HgO (s) ZnO (s) + Hg (l)
Under this equilibrium, what is the relation between the potential of the Zn(Hg) and HgO electrodes measured against the standard hydrogen electrode?
Zn(Hg) electrode potential is equal to HgO electrode potential.
Zn(Hg) electrode potential is more than HgO electrode potential.
HgO electrode potential is more than Zn(Hg) electrode.
Cell voltage at above said equilibrium is 1.35 V
The standard reduction potential for Zn2+ /Zn, Ni2+ /Ni and Fe2+ /Fe are respectively -0.76, -0.23 and -0.44 V. The reaction X + Y2+ → X2+ + Y will have more negative G value when X and Y are
X = Ni; Y = Fe
X = Ni; Y = Zn
X = Fe; Y = Zn
X = Zn; Y = Ni
D.
X = Zn; Y = Ni
Given,
Zn2+/ Zn = -0.76 V
Ni2+/ Ni = -0.23 V
Fe2+/ Fe = -0.44 V
and relation,
X + Y2+ → X2+ + Y, means
X is oxidised to X2+ (acts as anode)
Y2+ is reduced to Y (acts as cathode)
Also, E =
Now, in option d
X = Zn; Y = Ni
E = -0.23 - (-0.76)
= +0.53
Therefore, among all the given options, option D is the correct one.
