Explain for Fe3+ → Fe2+
gain of electrons
loss of electrons
gain of hydrogen atoms
loss of hydrogen atoms
gain of oxygen atoms
loss of oxygen atoms
The oxidation state of iron has been changed from +3 to +2 , so it is a reduction rxn . In reduction gain of electrons take place. In the above rxn ferric ion has accepted one electron to become ferrous ion .
So correct answer is gain of an electron in this case.
Explain for MnO2 → Mn gain of electrons loss of electrons gain of hydrogen atoms loss of hydrogen atoms gain of oxygen atoms loss of oxygen atoms
A standard galvanic cell is constructed with Fe3+ | Fe2+and Cr3+ | Cr half cell compartments connected by a salt bridge. Which of the following statements are correct? Hint: Refer to a table of standard reduction potentials. (Choose all that apply.) Cr3+ is reduced at the cathode. As the cell runs, anions will migrate from the Cr3+|Cr compartment to the Fe3+|Fe2+compartment. Fe3+ is reduced at the cathode. The anode compartment is the Cr3+|Cr compartment. In the external circuit, electrons flow...
Calculate the equilibrium electrode potential for Fe3+/Fe2+ redox system, if the initial concentration of Fe2+ is of 0.1 mol/L and one third of Fe2+ is oxidized to Fe3+ at pH 1. (eo(Fe3+/Fe2+) = 0.77 V)
The standard potentials at pH=0 for the couples Fe2+/Fe and Fe3+/Fe2+ are -0.44V and 0.77V, respectively. Should we expect Fe2+ to disproportionate in a deaerated acidic aqueous solution? Explain briefly.
