the \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\) of \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) oxidising \(\mathrm{Ce}^{3+}\) is

  1. A +0.84 V
  2. B –0.84 V
  3. C –2.32 V
  4. D +1.5 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) –0.84 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{E}_{\text {cell }}^{\circ}=\mathrm{E}_{o x}^{\circ}+\mathrm{E}_{\text {red }}^{\circ}=(-1.6+0.76)=-0.84 \mathrm{Vd}\)
