If \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\left(\mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2} \mid \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{s})}\right)=-0.44 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\left(\mathrm{Sn}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2} \mid \operatorname{Sn}_{(\mathrm{s})}\right)=-0 \cdot 14 \mathrm{~V}\). What is standard emf of cell containing the two electrodes?

  1. A \(+0.30 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(-0.30 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(+0.58 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(-0.58 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(+0.30 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{E}^{\circ}_{\text{cathode}} = \mathrm{E}^{\circ}(\mathrm{Sn}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2} \mid \mathrm{Sn}_{(\mathrm{s})}) = -0.14 \mathrm{~V} \) \( \mathrm{E}^{\circ}_{\text{anode}} = \mathrm{E}^{\circ}(\mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+2} \mid \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{s})}) = -0.44 \mathrm{~V} \)
