Given `:` `A^(2+)+2e^(-) rarr A(s)" "E^(c-)=0.08V` `B^(o+)+e^(-)rarr B(s)" "E^(c-)=-0.64V` `X_(2)(g)+2e^(-) rarr 2X^(c-)" "E^(c-)=1.03V` Which of the following statements is `//` are correct ?A. `X_(2)(g)` will oxidize both `(A)` and `(B)`.B. `A^(2+)` will oxidize both `(A)` and `(B)`C. The reaction `2X^(c-)(1.0M)+A^(2+)(1.0M) rarr X_(2)(1 atm)+A(s)` will be spontaneous.D. The oxidizing power of `A^(2+),B^(o+),` and `X_(2)(g)` is in the order `X_(2)gtA^(2+)gtB^(o+)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - a,b,d `E^(c-)._(cell)` corresponding to the reaction is `:` `2X^(c-)(1M)+A^(2+)(1.0M) rarr X_(2)(1atm)+A(s)` `E^(c-)._(cell)E^(c-)._(A^(2+)|A)-(E^(c-)._(X2|2X^(c-))=0.08-1.30=-1.22V` `E^(c-)._(cell)` is negative, so `DeltaG^(c-)` will be `(+ve)` and hence reaction `(c)` will not be feasible. So, statement `(c)` is wrong. Statements `(a),(b),` and `(d)` are correct. |
