JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Electrochemistry / विद्युत् रसायन Sample Paper Topic Test - Electrochemistry

  • question_answer
    Given the following half reactions:
    \[{{A}^{2+}}+{{e}^{-}}\to {{A}^{+}},{{E}^{o}}=+1.70V\]
    \[{{B}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\to {{B}^{+}},{{E}^{o}}=+0.60V\]
    \[{{C}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}}\to {{C}^{2+}},{{E}^{o}}=+0.90V\]
    The only reaction that could be used in titration would be

    A) \[{{A}^{+}}\] with \[{{B}^{4+}}\]

    B) \[{{A}^{+}}\] with \[{{C}^{3+}}\]

    C) \[{{A}^{2+}}\] with \[{{C}^{2+}}\]

    D) \[{{C}^{2+}}\] with \[{{B}^{4+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c]         \[\begin{align}   & \,\,\,\,\,{{A}^{2}}+{{e}^{-}}\to {{A}^{+}},E=1.7V \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{C}^{2+}}\to {{C}^{3+}}+{{e}^{-}},{{E}^{\circ }}=-0.9V \\  & \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\  & {{A}^{2+}}+{{C}^{2+}}\to {{A}^{+}}+{{C}^{3+}},{{E}^{\circ }}=0.8V>0, \\ \end{align}\]spontaneous.
