What would be the cell potential for the Galvanic cell which is represented by the electrochemical reaction:
\(\begin{aligned}
& 2 \mathrm{Cr}_{(\mathrm{S})}+3 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(0.02 \mathrm{M}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}(0.2 \mathrm{M})+3 \mathrm{Fe} \\
& \mathrm{E}^0 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} / \mathrm{Fe}=-0.42 \mathrm{~V} \quad \mathrm{E}^0 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+} / \mathrm{Cr}=-0.72 \mathrm{~V}
\end{aligned}\)

  1. A 0.2636 V
  2. B 0.2803 V
  3. C 0.3197 V
  4. D 0.3364 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.2636 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The cell reaction is \(2 \text{Cr} + 3 \text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow 2 \text{Cr}^{3+} + 3 \text{Fe}\). The standard cell potential \(E^{0}_{cell}\) is calculated as \(E^{0}_{cathode} - E^{0}_{anode}\).…
