If \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\left(\mathrm{Al}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+3} \mid \mathrm{Al}_{(\mathrm{s})}\right)=-1 \cdot 66 \mathrm{~V}\).
What is potential of \(\mathrm{Al}_{(\mathrm{s})} \rightarrow \mathrm{Al}^{+3}(0 \cdot 1 \mathrm{M})+3 \overline{\mathrm{e}}\) at 298 K ?

  1. A \(+1.540 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(-1.540 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(+1.679 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(-1.679 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(+1.679 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{E}^{\circ}_{\left(\mathrm{Al} \mid \mathrm{Al}^{+3}\right)} = - \mathrm{E}^{\circ}_{\left(\mathrm{Al}^{+3} \mid \mathrm{Al}\right)} = -(-1.66 \mathrm{~V}) = +1.66 \mathrm{~V} \) \( \mathrm{E} = \mathrm{E}^{\circ} - \frac{0.0592}{\mathrm{n}} \log [\mathrm{Al}^{+3}] \)
