JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 2. Electrochemistry

In the given electrochemical cell, \(Ag(s)|AgCl(s)| FeCl_{2}(aq), FeCl_{3}(aq)|Pt(s)\) at 298 K, the cell potential \((E_{cell})\) will increase when :
(A) Concentration of \(Fe^{2+}\) is increased.
(B) Concentration of \(Fe^{3+}\) is decreased
(C) Concentration of \(Fe^{2+}\) is decreased
(D) Concentration of \(Fe ^{3+}\) is increased
(E) Concentration of \(Cl^{-}\) is increased
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A A and B only
  2. B A and E only
  3. C B only
  4. D C, D and E only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) C, D and E only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Cl_{aq}^{-}+Ag_{(S)}+Fe_{aq}^{+3}\rightarrow Fe_{aq}^{+2}+AgCl_{(S)}\) \(E_{cell}=E_{cell}^{o}-\frac{0.059}{1}log\frac{[Fe^{2+}]}{[Cl^{-}][Fe^{3+}]}\)
