A half-cell reaction represented by (i) as given below Fe(OH)2( s)+2e−→Fe( s)+2OH−(aq)E⊖=−0.9 V(i)\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_2(\mathrm{~s})+2 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{~s})+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \quad E^{\ominus}=-0.9 \mathrm{~V} \mathrm{(i)} takes place in two different electrochemical cells, I and II, in which the other half cell reactions are (ii) and (iii) respectively: Al3+(aq)+3e−→Al(s)E⊖=−1.7 V(ii)AgBr(s)+e−→Ag(s)+Br−(aq)E⊖=−0.07 V(iii)\begin{array}{ll}A l^{3+}(a q)+3 e^{-} → A l(s) & E^{\ominus}=-1.7 \mathrm{~V} \mathrm{(ii)}\\ A g B r(s)+e^{-} → A g(s)+B r^{-}(a q) & E^{\ominus}=-0.07 \mathrm{~V} \mathrm{(iii)} \end{array}The correct option that represents the redox reactions in cells I and II is:$

Options

  1. AFe is oxidised in cell I; Fe is oxidised in cell II
  2. BFe is oxidised in cell I; Fe is reduced in cell II
  3. CFe is reduced in cell I;Fe\mathrm{I} ; \mathrm{Fe} is reduced in cell II
  4. DFe is reduced in cell I; Fe is oxidised in cell II

Correct answer

D. Fe is reduced in cell I; Fe is oxidised in cell II
