The E^(o) for half cells Fe//Fe^(2+) and...

The `E^(o)` for half cells `Fe//Fe^(2+) and Cu//Cu^(2+)` are `–0.44` V and ` +0.32 `V respectively. Then which of these is true?

A

`Cu^(2+)` oxidises Fe

B

`Cu^(2+)` oxidises `Fe^(2+)`

C

Cu oxidises `Fe^(2+)`

D

Cu reduces `Fe^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Fe is more electropositive than copper. Hence `Cu^(2+)` can oxidise Fe.
