Question

The standard reduction potentials Eo, for the half reactions are as
        Zn → Zn2+ + 2e-, Eo = + 0.76V
        Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-, Eo = + 0.41V
The emf for the cell reaction,

Options

A.- 0.35 V
B.+ 0.35 V
C.+ 1.17 V
D.- 1.17 V

Solution

Fe2+ + Zn2+ + Fe
i. e, Zn acts as anode and Fe as cathode.
and Eocell = EoO.P.(Zn/Zn2+) + EoR.P>(Fe2+/Fe)
= (0.76) + (-0.41) = 0.35V
