Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 212

Question: For the electrochemical cell, M|M+||X|X, E(M+|M) =0.44 V E(X|X)=0.33 V From this data, one can deduce that [Pb.CET 2004]

Options:

A) Ecell=0.77,V

B) M++XM+X is the spontaneous reaction

C) M+XM++X is the spontaneous reaction

D) Ecell=.77 V

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

For M++XM+X
Ecell0=ECathode0+EAnode0

=0.440.33=+0.11 V

Since Ecell0=(+) 0.11 V is positive hence this reaction should be spontaneous.
