What will be the change in the electrode potential of chromium electrode dipping into chromic sulphate solution, when the electrolyte is diluted 10 times at \(25^\circ\)C? [ \(E^0\ (\text{Cr}^{3+}/\text{Cr})] = -0.74\)V
- A Decrease by 29.6 mV
- B Increase by 16.2 mV
- C Increase by 32.8 mV
- D Decrease by 19.7 mV
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Decrease by 19.7 mV
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reduction half-reaction for the chromium electrode is: \(\text{Cr}^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow \text{Cr}\) The Nernst equation for the reduction potential is given by: \(E = E^0 - \dfrac{0.0591}{n} \log \dfrac{1}{[\text{Cr}^{3+}]}\)…
