EcellΘ for some half cell reactions are given below. On the basis of these mark the correct answer.
(1) H+(aq)+e-→12H2(g);EcellΘ=0.00V
( ii) 2H2O(l)→O2(g)+4H+(aq)+4e-;EcellΘ=1.23V
(iii) 2SO42-(aq)→S2O82-(aq)+2e-;Ecell Θ=1.96 V
In dilute sulphuric acid acid solution, hydrogen ion will be reduced at cathode
In concentrated sulphuric acid solution, water will be oxidized at anode
In dilute sulphuric acid solution, water will be oxidized at anode
in dilute sulphuric acid solution, SO42−ion will be oxidized to tetrathionate ion at anode.
greater oxidation potential greater the tendency of undergoing oxidation
greater reduction potential greater the tendency of undergoing reduction
