Question

Fe is reacted with 1.0  M HCl.  Eo for Fe / Fe2+ =  + 0.34 V. The correct observation(s) regarding this reaction  is/are :

Options

A.Fe  will be oxidised to  Fe2+
B.Fe2+ will be reduced to Fe
C.since e.m.f. > 0, the reaction shall occur
D.since e.m.f. > 0, the reaction shall not occur.

Solution

EoFe2+/Fe > EoH+/H2 ;    So, Fe oxidised into Fe2+
Fe + 2H+ →  Fe2+ + H2     ECell = +ve.
