The standard reduction potential data at 25°C is given below.

            E° (Fe3+, Fe2+) = +0.77 V ;                                 

            E° (Fe2+, Fe) = –0.44 V

            E° (Cu2+, Cu) = +0.34 V;

            E° (Cu+, Cu) = + 0.52 V

            E° [O2(g) + 4H+ + 4e → 2H2O] = +1.23 V;

            E° [O2(g) + 2H2O + 4e → 4OH¯] = +0.40 V

            E° (Cr3+, Cr) = – 0.74 V;

            E°(Cr2+, Cr) = –0.91 V

            Match E° of the redox pair in List I with the values given in List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists:

List I List II
(P) E° (Fe3+, Fe) (1) – 0.18 V
(Q) E° (4H2O ⇌ 4H+ + 4OH¯) (2) – 0.4 V
(R) E° (Cu2+ + Cu → 2Cu+) (3) – 0.04 V
(S) E° (Cr3+, Cr2+) (4) – 0.83 V

Solution

Checking easiest option P or S

 

Eº=0.772×0.443=0.04V

Cr3+ → Cr2+

E° = – 0.74 × 3 + 0.91 × 2

= – 0.4 V
