Electrochemistry - Result Question 36

####38. Standard electrode potential for Sn4+/Sn2+ couple is +0.15V and that for the Cr3+/Cr couple is 0.74V. These two couples in their standard state are connected to make a cell. The cell potential will be :

[2011]

(a) +1.19V

(b) +0.89V

(c) +0.18V

(d) +1.83V

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b) The couple for which SRP value is high, will act as cathode and the other couple will act as an anode.

Ecell 0=Ecathode 0Eanode 0=0.15V(0.74V)=+0.89V
