The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the given electrochemical cell data and determine the spontaneity of the reactions based on the standard electrode potentials. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Standard reduction potential for \( M^{+}/M \) is \( E^{\circ} = 0.44 \, V \) - Standard reduction potential for \( X/X^{-} \) is \( E^{\circ} = 0.33 \, V \) 2. **Determine the Reactions:** - For \( M^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow M \) (Reduction at cathode) - For \( X + e^{-} \rightarrow X^{-} \) (Reduction at cathode) 3. **Identify Anode and Cathode:** - In the first reaction, \( M \) is reduced, so it acts as the cathode. - In the second reaction, \( X \) is reduced to \( X^{-} \), so it acts as the anode. 4. **Calculate the Cell Potential (E°cell):** - The cell potential can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cathode}} - E^{\circ}_{\text{anode}} \] - Here, we consider the overall reaction \( M + X^{-} \rightarrow M^{+} + X \): - \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cathode}} = E^{\circ}_{M^{+}/M} = 0.44 \, V \) - \( E^{\circ}_{\text{anode}} = E^{\circ}_{X/X^{-}} = 0.33 \, V \) - Therefore, \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 0.44 \, V - 0.33 \, V = 0.11 \, V \] 5. **Determine Spontaneity:** - A positive \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} \) indicates that the reaction is spontaneous. - Since \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 0.11 \, V \) is positive, the reaction \( M + X^{-} \rightarrow M^{+} + X \) is spontaneous. 6. **Evaluate the Options:** - **Option A:** \( M + X \rightarrow M^{+} + X^{-} \) - Non-spontaneous (as calculated, \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} < 0 \)) - **Option B:** \( M^{+} + X^{-} \rightarrow M + X \) - Spontaneous (as calculated, \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} > 0 \)) - **Option C:** \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 0.77 \, V \) - Incorrect - **Option D:** \( E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = -0.77 \, V \) - Incorrect ### Conclusion: The correct answer is **Option B**: \( M^{+} + X^{-} \rightarrow M + X \) is a spontaneous reaction.
