The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the overall cell potential (E_cell) for the given electrochemical cell and identify whether the reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Cells and Their Potentials:** - The half-cell reactions are given as: - \( M^{o+} + e^- \rightarrow M \) with \( E^\circ_{M^{o+}/M} = 0.44 \, V \) (Anode) - \( X + e^- \rightarrow X^{c-} \) with \( E^\circ_{X/X^{c-}} = 0.334 \, V \) (Cathode) 2. **Determine the Anode and Cathode:** - In an electrochemical cell, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. - Since \( M^{o+} \) is being reduced, it will act as the anode (oxidation occurs here). - \( X^{c-} \) is being reduced, so it will act as the cathode. 3. **Calculate the Cell Potential (E_cell):** - The formula for the cell potential is: \[ E_{cell} = E^\circ_{cathode} - E^\circ_{anode} \] - Substituting the values: \[ E_{cell} = 0.334 \, V - 0.44 \, V = -0.106 \, V \] 4. **Determine Spontaneity:** - A positive \( E_{cell} \) indicates a spontaneous reaction, while a negative \( E_{cell} \) indicates a non-spontaneous reaction. - Since \( E_{cell} = -0.106 \, V \), the reaction is non-spontaneous. 5. **Identify the Overall Reaction:** - The overall reaction can be written as: \[ M + X^{c-} \rightarrow M^{o+} + X \] - Here, \( M \) is oxidized to \( M^{o+} \) and \( X^{c-} \) is reduced to \( X \). ### Final Answer: The correct option is that the cell reaction is non-spontaneous, as indicated by the negative cell potential.
