BITSAT Chemistry Question (2023) — Solution

Question

Electrode potential data are given below: Fe ^ +3 ( aq )+ e ^ - Fe ^ +2 ( aq ) ; E ^ =+0.77 ~V Al ^ 3+ ( aq )+3 e ^ - Al _ ( s ) ; E ^ =-1.66 ~V Br _2( aq )+2 e ^ - 2 Br ^ - ( aq ) ; E ^ =+1.08 ~V Based on the data, the reducing power of Fe ^ 2+ , Al and Br ^ - will increase in the order

Options

  1. A. Br ^ - < Fe ^ 2+ < Al
  2. B. Fe ^ 2+ < Al < Br ^ -
  3. C. Al < Br ^ - < Fe ^ 2+
  4. D. Al < Fe ^ 2+ < Br ^ -

Answer

A. Br ^ - < Fe ^ 2+ < Al

Step-by-step solution

array rrrr & Fe & A1 & B \\ E_ Red ^ & 0.77 & -1.66 & 1.08 \\ E_ Oxi ^ & -0.77 & 1.66 & -1.08 array Hence, reducing power Al > Fe ^ 2+ > Br
