Neco 2017 Chemistry Question 29

Practice objective / multiple choice question 29 from the 2017 Neco Chemistry examination.

Neco 2017 Chemistry Objective / Multiple Choice Medium Difficulty
Question 29 NECO • 2017 • CHEMISTRY • objective

The standard reduction potentials are: \( \mathrm{Fe^{3+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+}} \), \( E^{\circ}=+0.77\ \text{V} \); and \( \mathrm{Ce^{4+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Ce^{3+}} \), \( E^{\circ}=+1.61\ \text{V} \). When an aqueous solution of \( \mathrm{Fe^{2+}} \) is mixed with an aqueous solution of \( \mathrm{Ce^{4+}} \), a redox reaction occurs. Write the overall balanced equation, calculate the standard cell potential (\( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} \)) and the equilibrium constant \( K \) at 25 °C (assume \( n = 1 \) for the overall reaction).

Answer Options

A. E°cell = 0.94 V; K ≈ 1.55×10^{14}
B. E°cell = 0.84 V; K ≈ 3.10×10^{13}
Correct Answer C. E°cell = 0.84 V; K ≈ 1.55×10^{14}
D. E°cell = 0.78 V; K ≈ 2.00×10^{12}
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
E°cell = 0.84 V; K ≈ 1.55×10^{14}
