The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given electrochemical cell with two electrodes, A and B, and their respective reduction potentials. ### Step 1: Identify the electrodes and their reduction potentials - **Electrode A**: \( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-}/\text{Cr}^{3+} \), \( E^\circ_{\text{red}} = +1.33 \, \text{V} \) - **Electrode B**: \( \text{Fe}^{3+}/\text{Fe}^{2+} \), \( E^\circ_{\text{red}} = +0.77 \, \text{V} \) ### Step 2: Determine which electrode acts as the anode and which as the cathode - The electrode with the higher reduction potential acts as the cathode (where reduction occurs), and the one with the lower reduction potential acts as the anode (where oxidation occurs). - Here, Electrode A has a higher reduction potential (+1.33 V) than Electrode B (+0.77 V). Therefore: - **Anode**: Electrode B (Fe3+/Fe2+) - **Cathode**: Electrode A (Cr2O7^{2-}/Cr^{3+}) ### Step 3: Determine the direction of electron flow - Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. Therefore, electrons will flow from Electrode B (anode) to Electrode A (cathode). ### Step 4: Calculate the standard EMF of the cell - The standard EMF (E°cell) can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] - Substituting the values: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 1.33 \, \text{V} - 0.77 \, \text{V} = 0.56 \, \text{V} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the statements provided in the question 1. **Statement 1**: Electrons will flow from B to A in the outer circuit when connections are made. (True) 2. **Statement 2**: The standard EMF of the cell will be 0.56 volts. (True) 3. **Statement 3**: A will be a positive electrode. (True, since A is the cathode) 4. **Statement 4**: None of the above. (This implies all previous statements are correct) ### Conclusion Since all the statements are correct, the statement that is not correct is **Statement 4**: "None of the above." ### Final Answer The statement that is not correct is **Statement 4**: None of the above. ---
