Out of the following half cells, which two half cell combination gives the largest \(E_{\text{cell}}\text{}\) value?
(I) \(A^{3-} \rightarrow A^{2-} + e^-\text{}\) \(E^{\circ} = +1.5\text{V}\)
(II) \(B^{+} + e^- \rightarrow B\) \(E^{\circ} = -0.5\text{V}\)
(III) \(C^{2+} + e^- \rightarrow C^{+}\) \(E^{\circ} = +0.5\text{V}\)
(IV) \(D \rightarrow D^{2+} + 2e^-\text{}\) \(E^{\circ} = -1.5\text{V}\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A I and III
  2. B I and IV
  3. C II and IV
  4. D III and IV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) I and IV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E^{\circ}_{red}(\text{I}) = -1.5\text{V}\) \(E^{\circ}_{red}(\text{II}) = -0.5\text{V}\) \(E^{\circ}_{red}(\text{III}) = +0.5\text{V}\) \(E^{\circ}_{red}(\text{IV}) = +1.5\text{V}\) \(E_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cathode}} - E^{\circ}_{\text{anode}}\)…
