(a) Calculate E∘cell for the following reaction at 298 K: 2Cr(s)+3Fe2+(0.01 M)→2Cr3+(0.01M)+3Fe(s) Given : Ecell=0.261V (b) Using the E∘ values of A and B, predict which one is better for coating the surface of iron [Eo(Fe2+/Fe)=−0.44V] to prevent corrosion and why? Given: E∘(A2+/A)=−2.37V: E∘(B2+/B)=−0.14V

Answer» (a) Calculate Ecell for the following reaction at 298 K:
2Cr(s)+3Fe2+(0.01 M)2Cr3+(0.01M)+3Fe(s)
Given : Ecell=0.261V

(b) Using the E values of A and B, predict which one is better for coating the surface of iron [Eo(Fe2+/Fe)=0.44V] to prevent corrosion and why?

Given: E(A2+/A)=2.37V:
E(B2+/B)=0.14V
