Give the method to determine the potential of any half-cell.

  • A
    By connecting it to a Standard Hydrogen Electrode $(SHE)$ and measuring the cell potential.
  • B
    By measuring the resistance of the solution.
  • C
    By using a potentiometer directly on the half-cell.
  • D
    By calculating the concentration of ions.

What is electrode potential?

The $E^{\circ}$ values of half-cells are given below. Which combination of two half-cells will result in a cell with the maximum potential?
$(i) \, A^{3-} \rightarrow A^{2-} + e^{-}; E^{\circ} = 1.5 \, V$
$(ii) \, B^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow B; E^{\circ} = 0.5 \, V$
$(iii) \, C^{2+} + e^{-} \rightarrow C^{+}; E^{\circ} = 0.5 \, V$
$(iv) \, D \rightarrow D^{2+} + 2e^{-}; E^{\circ} = -1.15 \, V$

The values of $E^0$ for metals $A$,$B$,and $C$ are $0.34 \ V$,$-0.80 \ V$,and $-0.46 \ V$ respectively. State the correct order for their ability to act as reducing agents.

Given $E^{0}_{Fe^{3+}|Fe} = -0.036 \, V$ and $E^{0}_{Fe^{2+}|Fe} = -0.439 \, V$,the standard electrode potential for the reaction $Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+}_{(aq)}$ is ........... $V$.
