The standard reduction potential for \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} / \mathrm{Fe}\) and \(\mathrm{Sn}^{2+} / \mathrm{Sn}\) electrodes are \(-0.44\) and \(-0.14 \mathrm{~V}\) respectively. For the cell reaction, \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+\mathrm{Sn} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}+\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}\) the standard emf is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-0.30 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+\mathrm{Sn} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}+\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}\)
\(=-0.44+(0.14)\)
\(=-0.30 \mathrm{~V}\)
