The correct Answer is:
To find the standard electromotive force (e.m.f.) of the galvanic cell for the given reaction, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the half-reactions The overall reaction is: \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14\text{H}^+ + 6\text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 6\text{Fe}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} \] From this reaction, we can identify the half-reactions: 1. Reduction half-reaction (at the cathode): \[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14\text{H}^+ + 6e^- \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} \] with \( E^\circ = 1.33 \, \text{V} \) 2. Oxidation half-reaction (at the anode): \[ 6\text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow 6\text{Fe}^{3+} + 6e^- \] with \( E^\circ = 0.77 \, \text{V} \) ### Step 2: Determine the standard e.m.f. of the cell The standard e.m.f. of the cell can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] Substituting the values: - \( E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} = 1.33 \, \text{V} \) - \( E^\circ_{\text{anode}} = 0.77 \, \text{V} \) Thus, \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 1.33 \, \text{V} - 0.77 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the result Perform the subtraction: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 1.33 - 0.77 = 0.56 \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The standard e.m.f. of the cell is: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.56 \, \text{V} \] ---
