Solution

The correct option is A x+2y3z
Solution:- (A) x+2y3z

Fe2+(aq)+Ag+(aq)Fe3+(aq)+Ag(s)

Cell reaction,

Anode: Fe2+(aq)Fe3+(aq)+e;EoFe2+/Fe3+=mV

Cathode: Ag+(aq)+e;Ag(s);EoAg+/Ag=xV

cell standard potential =(m+x)V

Now, to find 'm',

Fe2++2eFe;Eo1=yVΔGo1=(2Fy)

Fe3++3eFe;Eo2=zVΔGo2=(3Fy)

Fe2+(aq)Fe3+(aq)+e;Eo3=mVΔGo3=(1Fm)

ΔGo3=ΔG01ΔGo2=(2Fy+3Fz)=Fm

m=(2y3z)

Eocell=(x+2y3z)V
