The standard electrode potentials (reduction) of Pt/Fe3+, Fe+2 and Pt/Sn4+, Sn+2 are +0.77 V and 0.15 V respectively at 25°C. The standard EMF of the reaction \(Sn^{4+} + 2Fe^{2+} \rightarrow Sn^{2+} + 2Fe^{3+}\) is |
0.62 V –0.92 V +0.31 V +0.85 V |
0.62 V |
The correct answer is option 1. 0.62 V To determine the standard EMF of the reaction $\text{Sn}^{4+} + 2\text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{2+} + 2\text{Fe}^{3+}$, we can use the standard electrode potentials and the Nernst equation. Given: The standard EMF ($E^\circ$) of the reaction can be calculated by subtracting the standard electrode potential of the reactants from the standard electrode potential of the products: $E^\circ = E^\circ(\text{Pt/Sn}^{4+}, \text{Sn}^{2+}) - E^\circ(\text{Pt/Fe}^{3+}, \text{Fe}^{2+})$ $E^\circ = 0.15 \, \text{V} - (+0.77 \, \text{V})$ $E^\circ = -0.62 \, \text{V}$ Therefore, the standard EMF of the reaction $\text{Sn}^{4+} + 2\text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{2+} + 2\text{Fe}^{3+}$ is (1) $-0.62 \, \text{V}$. |
