Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 221

Question: Aluminium displaces hydrogen from dilute HCl whereas silver does not. The e.m.f. of a cell prepared by combining Al/Al3+ and Ag/Ag+ is 2.46 V. The reduction potential of silver electrode is +0.80 V . The reduction potential of aluminium electrode is [KCET 2004]

Options:

A) +1.66 V

B) 3.26,V

C) 3.26 V

D) 1.66 V

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Al displaces H from HCl but silver cannot it means Al is situated above the Ag in ECS, hence Al will acts as anode and Ag will act as cathode.

Ecell0=ECathode0EAnode0

=EAg+/Ag0EAl3+/Al0 2.46=0.8EAl3+/Al0 ; EAl0=0.82.46=1.66 V .
