Question

Standard electrode potential:
$F e^{2 +} + 2 e^{-} \to F e; E^{0} = - 0.44 V$
$F e^{3 +} + e^{-} \to F e^{2 +}; E^{0} = 0.77 V$

Solution

The correct option is B $F e^{3 +}$ concentration will decreases in solution
Standard reduction potential of $F e^{2 +} / F e$ is less than $F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +}$ couple.
Hence, $F e$ will get oxidised to $F e^{2 +}$ ions and $F e^{3 +}$ ions will get reduced to $F e^{2 +}$ .
Hence, both reaction will result in increase of $F e^{2 +}$ concentration in the solution.
Since, $F e^{3 +}$ is getting reduced to $F e^{2 +}$ ions, $F e^{3 +}$ concentration will decrease in the solution.
