The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given standard reduction potentials and determine the spontaneity of the reactions involving the species M and X. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Potentials:** - The standard reduction potential for the half-reaction \( M^+ + e^- \rightarrow M \) is given as: \[ E^\circ(M^+/M) = -0.44 \, \text{V} \] - The standard reduction potential for the half-reaction \( X + e^- \rightarrow X^- \) is given as: \[ E^\circ(X/X^-) = 0.33 \, \text{V} \] 2. **Determine the Oxidation and Reduction Reactions:** - Since the reduction potential for \( M^+/M \) is negative, it indicates that \( M^+ \) is a weaker oxidizing agent compared to \( X \). Therefore, \( M \) will undergo oxidation: \[ M \rightarrow M^+ + e^- \] - The reduction will occur with \( X \): \[ X + e^- \rightarrow X^- \] 3. **Calculate the Standard Cell Potential (\( E^\circ_{cell} \)):** - The standard cell potential is calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = E^\circ_{cathode} - E^\circ_{anode} \] - Here, \( E^\circ_{cathode} \) (for reduction) is \( E^\circ(X/X^-) = 0.33 \, \text{V} \) and \( E^\circ_{anode} \) (for oxidation) is \( E^\circ(M^+/M) = -0.44 \, \text{V} \). - Therefore: \[ E^\circ_{cell} = 0.33 - (-0.44) = 0.33 + 0.44 = 0.77 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Determine Spontaneity of the Reaction:** - A positive \( E^\circ_{cell} \) indicates that the reaction is spontaneous. Since \( E^\circ_{cell} = 0.77 \, \text{V} > 0 \), the reaction is spontaneous. 5. **Conclusion:** - From the analysis, we conclude that the reaction involving \( M \) being oxidized and \( X \) being reduced is spontaneous, and the calculated standard cell potential is \( 0.77 \, \text{V} \). ### Summary of Options: - Based on the calculations, we can conclude: - Option A: Correct (spontaneous reaction) - Option C: Correct (cell potential is positive) - Option B: Incorrect (reverse reaction is non-spontaneous) - Option D: Incorrect (not relevant based on our calculations)
