For a given half cell, Al ³⁺+3 e ⁻ Al on increasing of aluminium ion, the electrode potential will
Options
- ADecrease
- BNo change
- CFirst increase then decrease
- DIncrease
Correct answer
D. Increase
Step-by-step solution
Al ³⁺+3 e ⁻ Al ( s ) aligned & E _ Red = E _ Red ^ o - 0.0591 3 [ Al ( ~s )] [ Al ³⁺ ] & E _ Red = E _ Red ^ o - 0.0591 4 1 [ Al ³⁺ ] [ Since active mass of solid =1] & E _ Red = E _ Red ^ o + 0.0591 3 [ Al ³⁺ ] aligned So E_ Red [ Al ³⁺ ] conc ^ n of Al ³⁺
