Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 569

Question: Given that: EAg+/Ag =0.80V and [Ag+]=103M; EHg22+/Hg=0.785V and [Hg22+]=101M which is true for the cell reaction 2Hg(l)+2Ag+(aq)2Ag(s)+Hg22+(aq)

Options:

A) The forward reaction is spontaneous

B) The backward reaction is spontaneous

C) Ecell=0.163,ν

D) Ecell=1.585,ν

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Ecell=Ecell0.05922log[Hg22+(aq)][Ag+(aq)]2 =(0.800.785)0.05922log101(103)2=0.133V hence backward reaction is spontaneous.
