The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given electrochemical cell involving two half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials. We will determine which statements about the cell are correct based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions and Their Standard Reduction Potentials:** - Electrode A: \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + 14\text{H}^+ + 6\text{e}^- \rightarrow 2\text{Cr}^{3+} + 7\text{H}_2\text{O} \) with \( E^\circ_{\text{red}} = 1.33 \, \text{V} \) - Electrode B: \( \text{Fe}^{3+} + \text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{2+} \) with \( E^\circ_{\text{red}} = 0.77 \, \text{V} \) 2. **Determine the Anode and Cathode:** - The electrode with the higher reduction potential acts as the cathode, while the one with the lower reduction potential acts as the anode. - Here, \( E^\circ_{\text{red}} \) for Electrode A (1.33 V) is greater than that for Electrode B (0.77 V). - Therefore, Electrode A is the cathode and Electrode B is the anode. 3. **Calculate the Cell Potential (E_cell):** - The cell potential can be calculated using the formula: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = E_{\text{cathode}} - E_{\text{anode}} \] - Substituting the values: \[ E_{\text{cell}} = 1.33 \, \text{V} - 0.77 \, \text{V} = 0.56 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Determine the Correct Statements:** - Since Electrode A is the cathode and Electrode B is the anode, we can conclude that: - Electrode A will undergo reduction (gain of electrons). - Electrode B will undergo oxidation (loss of electrons). - The positive value of \( E_{\text{cell}} \) indicates that the reaction is spontaneous. 5. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis, the correct statement regarding the electrochemical cell is that Electrode A is the cathode, Electrode B is the anode, and the cell potential is positive.
