Given the standard half-cell potentials \(\left(E^{\circ}\right)\) of
the following as
\[
\begin{array}{l}
\text { Zn } \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}+2 e^{-} ; \quad E^{\circ}=+0.76 \mathrm{V} \\
\mathrm{Fe} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+2 e^{-} ; \quad E^{\circ}=0.41 \mathrm{V}
\end{array}
\]
Then the standard e.m.f. of the cell with the reaction \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+\mathrm{Zn} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}+\mathrm{Fe}\) is

  1. A \(-0.35 V\)
  2. B \(+0.35 \vee\)
  3. C \(+117 V\)
  4. D \(-117 \mathrm{V}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(+0.35 \vee\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(\mathrm{Zn} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} ; E^{\circ}=+0.76 \mathrm{V}\) \[ \mathrm{Fe} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+2 e^{-} ; E^{\circ}=+0.41 \mathrm{V} \] On reversing the above equation (i) and (ii), we get…
