For which of these oxidation/reduction pairs will the reduction potential vary with pH? I. A m O 2 2 + / A m O 2 + II. A m O 2 2 + / A m 4 + III. A m 4 + / A m 2 +
Options
- AI only
- BII only
- CI and II only
- DI, II and III
Correct answer
B. II only
Step-by-step solution
The half-cell reaction will be A m O 2 + + 4 H + + 2 e - → A m 4 + + 2 H 2 O The reaction includes H + ion, hence the electrode potential will depend on the pH of solution.
