When two half-cells of electrode potential of E 1 o and E 2 o are combined to form a cell of electrode potential E 3 o ( n 1 , n 2 , n 3 are the number of electrodes exchanged in first, second and third half-cell reactions), then
Options
- AE 3 o = E 1 o + E 2 o
- BE 3 o = E 2 o - E 1 o
- CE 3 o = n 1 E 1 o + n 2 E 2 o n 3
- DE 3 o = n 1 E 1 o - n 2 E 2 o n 3 2
Correct answer
C. E 3 o = n 1 E 1 o + n 2 E 2 o n 3
Step-by-step solution
As E ° is non additive but Δ G ° is additive Δ G 3 o = Δ G 1 o + Δ G 2 o - n 3 F E 3 o = - n F E 1 o - n 2 F E 2 o E 3 o = n 1 E 1 o + n 2 E 2 o n 3
