Given, for \(\mathrm{Sn}^{4+} / \mathrm{Sn}^{2+}\), standard reduction potential is \(0.15 \mathrm{~V}\) and for \(\mathrm{Au}^{3+} / \mathrm{Au}\), standard reduction potential is \(1.5 \mathrm{~V}\). For the reaction, \(3 \mathrm{Sn}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{Au}^{3+} \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{Sn}^{4+}+2 \mathrm{Au}\)
the value of \(E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}\) is,

  1. A \(+1.35\)
  2. B \(+2.55\)
  3. C \(-1.35\)
  4. D \(-2.55\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(+1.35\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}E_{\text {cell }}^{\circ} &=E_{\text {cathode }}^{\circ}-E_{\text {anode }}^{\circ} \\&=1.5-0.15=1.35 \mathrm{~V}\end{aligned}\)
