MCQ
Given electrode potentials

$Fe^{3+} + e \to Fe^{2+}\, ;\, E^o = 0.771\,volt$

$I_2 + 2e \to 2I^-\, ;\, E^o = 0.536\,volt$

$E^o$ cell for the cell reaction

$2Fe^{3+} + 2I^-\to 2Fe^{2+}+ I_2$ is 

  • A
    $(2 \times 0.771 -0.536) = 1.006\,volt$
  • B
    $(0.771 -0.5 \times 0.536) = 0.503\,volt$
  • $(0.771 -0.536) = 0.235\,volt$
  • D
    $(0.536 -0.771) = -0.235\,volt$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(0.771 -0.536) = 0.235\,volt$
c
$\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ} =\mathrm{E}_{\text {cathode }}^{\circ}-\mathrm{E}_{\text {anode }}^{\circ}$ 

$=0.771-0.536 $

$=0.235 \,\mathrm{volt}$
