An electrochemical cell is made by connecting Nickel and Chromium electrodes. With the help of information given below, the correct value of standard cell potential, would be: \(Ni^{2+} + 2e^- \longrightarrow Ni(s)\, \ E^o = -0.25V\) \(Cr^{3+} + 3e^- \longrightarrow Cr(s)\, \ E^o = -0.74 V\) |
+0.49 V -0.49 V -0.99 V +0.99 V |
+0.49 V |
The correct answer is option 1. +0.49 V. To find the standard cell potential (\(E^\circ_{cell}\)) of the electrochemical cell formed by the Nickel and Chromium electrodes, you can use the formula: \(E^\circ_{cell} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}}\) Given: \(E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} \) (Nickel) = -0.25 V \(E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \) (Chromium) = -0.74 V Substitute the values into the formula: \(E^\circ_{cell} = (-0.25) - (-0.74) \) \(E^\circ_{cell} = 0.49 \, V \) The correct value of the standard cell potential is \( +0.49 \, V \), so the correct answer is option 1. |
