Question

Consider the following half-cell reactions and associated standard half-cell potentials and determine the maximum voltage that can be obtained by combination resulting in spontaneous processes:
$A u B r_{4}^{-} (a q) + 3 e^{-} \to A u (s) + 4 B r^{-} (a q); E^{\circ} = - 0.86 V$
$E u^{3 +} (a q) + e^{-} \to E u^{2 +} (a q); E^{\circ} = - 0.43 V$
$S n^{2 +} (a q) + 2 e^{-} \to S n (s); E^{\circ} = - 0.14 V$
$I O^{-} (a q) + H_{2} O (l) + 2 e^{-} \to I^{-} (a q) + 2 O H^{-} (a q); E^{\circ} = + 0.49 V$

Solution

The correct option is D $+ 1.35$
$\begin{matrix} A u B r_{4}^{-} (a q) + 3 e^{-} \to A u (s) + 4 B r^{-} (a q); E^{\circ} = - 0.86 V \to A n o d e I O^{-} (a r) + H_{2} O (l) + 2 e^{-} \to I^{-} (a q) + 2 O H^{-} (a q); E^{\circ} = + 0.49 \to c a t h o d e E_{c e l l}^{\circ} = E_{c a t h o d e}^{\circ} - E_{a n o d e}^{\circ} \Rightarrow 0.49 - (- 0.86) \Rightarrow + 1.35 V \end{matrix}$

Q. A button cell used in watches functions as following:

Z n (s) + A g_{2} O (s) + H_{2} O (l) ⇌ 2 A g (s) + Z n^{2 +} (a q) + 2 O H^{-} (a q)

If half cell potentials are:

Z n^{2 +} (a q) + 2 e^{-} \to Z n (s); E^{\circ} = - 0.76 V

A g_{2} O (s) + H_{2} O (l) + 2 e^{-} \to 2 A g (s) + 2 O H^{-} (a q), E^{\circ} = 0.34 V

The cell potential will be:
