    Consider the following redox reaction occurring in acidic medium The unknown standard reduction potential is

    A) \[-1.6\,\,V\]      

    B)        \[1.6\,\,V\]

    C) \[-1.52\,\,V\]    

    D)        \[1.52\ \,V\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The given half reactions are \[BrO_{3}^{-}+4{{e}^{-}}+4{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{E}^{o}}(in\,\,V)\Delta {{G}^{o}}=nF{{E}^{o}}\] \[Br{{O}^{-}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\]                        \[1.50\] \[-6F\] \[Br{{O}^{-}}+{{e}^{-}}+2{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\]\[1.60\]        \[-1.6\,\,F\] \[\frac{1}{2}B{{r}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] Adding\[BrO_{3}^{-}+5{{e}^{-}}+6{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\frac{1}{2}B{{r}_{2}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\] \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-7.6F=-5{{E}^{o}}F\] \[{{E}^{o}}=\frac{7.6}{5}=1.52\,\,V\]
