Question

Standard reduction potential for two electrodes are given
      I2 + 2e  → 2I                Eº = 0.535 V
      Co2+ + 2e → Co            Eº = – 0.28 V
If a cell is constructed using these, then identify correct statement.

Electrons will move from cobalt container to iodine container

Cathodic compartment contains iodine & iodide ion

Anion of salt bridge will move towards cobalt electrode.

All are correct

Solution

I2 + Co → Co+2 + 2I¯        E° = 0.535 + 0.28
I2 / I¯         Cathode
Co / Co2+     Anode    
e move from Anode to Cathode Anion will move toward cobalt electrode.
