The correct Answer is:
To determine which redox reaction is not feasible using the standard electrode potentials, we will analyze each pair of half-reactions provided. The feasibility of a redox reaction can be determined by calculating the standard cell potential (E°cell) using the formula: \[ E°_{cell} = E°_{reduction} - E°_{oxidation} \] If the calculated E°cell is positive, the reaction is feasible; if it is negative, the reaction is not feasible. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions and Their Standard Potentials:** - For each pair, identify the reduction and oxidation half-reactions and their corresponding standard electrode potentials (E°). 2. **Calculate E°cell for Each Pair:** - **Pair 1: Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ and I₂/I⁻** - Reduction: \( \text{Fe}^{3+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+} \) (E° = +0.77 V) - Oxidation: \( \text{I}^- \rightarrow \text{I}_2 + 2e^- \) (E° = -0.54 V, since we reverse the reaction) - E°cell = +0.77 V - (-0.54 V) = +0.77 V + 0.54 V = +0.23 V (Feasible) - **Pair 2: Ag⁺/Ag and Cu²⁺/Cu** - Reduction: \( \text{Ag}^+ + e^- \rightarrow \text{Ag} \) (E° = +0.80 V) - Oxidation: \( \text{Cu} \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \) (E° = -0.34 V, since we reverse the reaction) - E°cell = +0.80 V - (-0.34 V) = +0.80 V + 0.34 V = +0.46 V (Feasible) - **Pair 3: Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ and Cu²⁺/Cu** - Reduction: \( \text{Fe}^{3+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+} \) (E° = +0.77 V) - Oxidation: \( \text{Cu} \rightarrow \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \) (E° = -0.34 V) - E°cell = +0.77 V - (-0.34 V) = +0.77 V + 0.34 V = +0.43 V (Feasible) - **Pair 4: Ag⁺/Ag and Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺** - Reduction: \( \text{Fe}^{3+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+} \) (E° = +0.77 V) - Oxidation: \( \text{Ag} \rightarrow \text{Ag}^+ + e^- \) (E° = -0.80 V, since we reverse the reaction) - E°cell = +0.77 V - (-0.80 V) = +0.77 V + 0.80 V = -0.03 V (Not Feasible) 3. **Conclusion:** - The pair between which the redox reaction is not feasible is **Ag⁺/Ag and Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺**. ### Final Answer: The redox reaction between **Ag⁺/Ag and Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺** is not feasible.
