Q.
The standard oxidation potentials of iron and silver are +0.41V and −0.80V, respectively. The e.m.f. for cell reaction 2Ag(aq)++Fe(s)⟶2Ag(s)+Fe(aq)2+ is ________ V
Reduction potential of Fe and Ag electrodes are Fe(aq )2++2e−⟶Fe(s),E∘=−0.41V Ag(aq)++e−⟶Ag(s);E=+0.80V Ecell ∘=Ecathode ∘−Eanode ∘=+0.80−(−0.41) =1.21V
