    What is the value of \[{{E}_{cell}}\]? \[Cr|C{{r}^{3+}}(0.1M)|\,\,|F{{e}^{2+}}\,(0.01M)|Fe\] Given, \[E_{C{{r}^{3+}}/Cr}^{o}=-0.74\,V\]and \[E_{F{{e}^{2+}}/Fe}^{o}=-0.44\,V\]

    A)  +0.29 41V    

    B)  + 0.5212 V

    C)  + 0.1308V

    D)  -0.2606 V

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea :                 \[{{E}_{cell}}=E_{cell}^{o}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[product]}{[reac\tan t]}\] Given    \[{{E}^{o}}_{C{{r}^{3+}}/Cr}=-0.74\,\,V\]                 \[{{E}^{o}}_{F{{e}^{2+}}/Fe}=-0.44\,\,V\]       \[Cr/C{{r}^{3+}}\,(0.1\,M)||F{{e}^{2+}}\,\,(0.1\,M)/Fe\] \[\therefore \]  \[C{{r}^{3+}}/Cr\]is anode and \[F{{e}^{2+}}/Fe\]is cathode.                 \[E_{cell}^{o}=E_{C}^{o}-E_{A}^{o}\]                 \[=(-0.44)-(0.74)\]                 \[=-0.444+0.74\]                 \[=0.30\,\,V\] Cell reaction is                 \[2Cr+3F{{e}^{2+}}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{r}^{3+}}+3Fe\] number of electrons in cell reaction = 6                 \[E_{cell}^{o}=E_{cell}^{o}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \left[ \frac{product}{reac\tan t} \right]\]                 \[=+0.30\,V-\frac{0.059}{6}\log \left[ \frac{{{(C{{r}^{3+}})}^{2}}}{{{(F{{e}^{2+}})}^{3}}} \right]\]                 \[=0.30-\frac{0.059}{6}\log \left[ \frac{{{(0.1)}^{2}}}{{{(0.01)}^{3}}} \right]\]                 \[=0.30-\frac{0.059}{6}\log \,\,{{10}^{4}}\]                 \[=0.30-\frac{0.059}{6}\times 0.60\]                 \[=0.30-5.9\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[=0.2941\,V\]
