MCQ
For the cell reaction, $2C{{e}^{4+}}+Co\to 2C{{e}^{3+}}+C{{o}^{2+}}$ $E_{cell}^o$ is $1.89\,V$ and $E_{Co/C{o^{2 + }}}^o =  + 0.28.$ If $E_{C{e^{4 + }}/C{o^{3 + }}}^o$ ............. $\mathrm{V}$
  • A
    $-1.61$
  • $+1.61$
  • C
    $-2.08$
  • D
    $+2.17$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$+1.61$
b
$2 C e^{4+}+C o \rightarrow 2 C e^{3+}+C o^{2+}$

Anode : $C o \rightarrow C o^{2+}+2 e^{-}$

Cathode : $2 C e^{4+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow C e^{3+}$

$E_{c e l l}=E_{R}-E_{L}$

$E_{c e l l}=E_{C e^{4+} / C e^{3+}}-E_{C o^{2+} / C o}$

$1.89=E_{C e^{4+} / C e^{3+}}-(-0.28)$

$E_{C e^{4}+} / C e^{3+}=1.89-0.28$

$E_{C e^{4}+} / C e^{3+}=1.61 \,V$
