The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the favorable redox reaction in a solution containing Cr²⁺, Cr³⁺, and I⁻ ions when treated with iodine at 35°C. We have the standard reduction potentials for the relevant half-reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the half-reactions and their standard reduction potentials:** - For the reduction of chromium: \[ \text{Cr}^{3+} + e^- \rightarrow \text{Cr}^{2+} \quad E^\circ = -0.41 \, \text{V} \] - For the reduction of iodine: \[ \text{I}_2 + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{I}^- \quad E^\circ = 0.536 \, \text{V} \] 2. **Determine the oxidation and reduction reactions:** - In this scenario, Cr³⁺ will be reduced to Cr²⁺, and I₂ will be reduced to I⁻. However, since Cr²⁺ can also be oxidized to Cr³⁺, we need to consider the oxidation reaction: \[ \text{Cr}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Cr}^{3+} + e^- \quad E^\circ = +0.41 \, \text{V} \, (\text{reverse of the reduction}) \] - The reduction reaction for iodine remains the same. 3. **Calculate the standard cell potential (E°cell):** - The cell potential is calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = E^\circ_{\text{cathode}} - E^\circ_{\text{anode}} \] - Here, the cathode reaction (reduction) is I₂ to I⁻, and the anode reaction (oxidation) is Cr²⁺ to Cr³⁺. - Plugging in the values: \[ E^\circ_{\text{cell}} = 0.536 \, \text{V} - (-0.41 \, \text{V}) = 0.536 \, \text{V} + 0.41 \, \text{V} = 0.946 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Interpret the result:** - Since \(E^\circ_{\text{cell}} > 0\), the reaction is spontaneous. This indicates that the reaction will proceed in the forward direction. 5. **Identify the favorable redox reaction:** - The favorable redox reaction is: \[ \text{Cr}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Cr}^{3+} + e^- \quad \text{(oxidation)} \] \[ \text{I}_2 + 2e^- \rightarrow 2\text{I}^- \quad \text{(reduction)} \] ### Conclusion: The favorable redox reaction is that Cr²⁺ is oxidized to Cr³⁺ while I₂ is reduced to I⁻. Therefore, the correct option is **option number 1**.
