Q.

For the cell Zn(s)Zn2+(aq)Mx+(aq)M(s) Different half cells and their standard electrode
Potentials are given below :

M(aq)X+|M(s)E0  value
Au+3|Au1.40 V
Ag+|Ag0.80 V
Fe(aq)+3|Fe(aq)+20.77 V
Fe(aq)2+|Fe(s)-0.44 V

If EZn2+/Zn°=-0.76 V, whose cathode will give a maximum value of Ecell ° Electron transferred?

Detailed Solution

Given, electrode
We need to find which cathode will give maximum value of  E°cell electron transferred?

Ecell °=Ecathode °-Eanode °
The SRP of the cathode should be high for an E°cell value that is high.
Here, the value for is highest Au3+Au
Ecell °=1.4-(-0.76)=2.16 V

Therefore, the correct option is C
