The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the standard electrode potential for the spontaneous reaction in the cell using the given half-reactions and their standard electrode potentials. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Half-Reactions and Their Potentials**: - The first half-reaction is: \[ \text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Fe}^{3+} + e^{-} \quad E^{\circ} = 0.77 \, \text{V} \] - The second half-reaction is: \[ 2\text{I}^{-} \rightarrow \text{I}_{2} + 2e^{-} \quad E^{\circ} = 0.54 \, \text{V} \] 2. **Determine the Cathode and Anode**: - The half-reaction with the higher standard electrode potential will act as the cathode (reduction), and the one with the lower potential will act as the anode (oxidation). - Here, \(E^{\circ}_{\text{Fe}^{3+}/\text{Fe}^{2+}} = 0.77 \, \text{V}\) (cathode) and \(E^{\circ}_{\text{I}_{2}/\text{I}^{-}} = 0.54 \, \text{V}\) (anode). 3. **Calculate the Standard Cell Potential**: - The standard cell potential \(E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}}\) is calculated using the formula: \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = E^{\circ}_{\text{cathode}} - E^{\circ}_{\text{anode}} \] - Substituting the values: \[ E^{\circ}_{\text{cell}} = 0.77 \, \text{V} - 0.54 \, \text{V} = 0.23 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Convert to the Required Format**: - The problem states that the standard electrode potential for the spontaneous reaction in the cell is in the form \(x \times 10^{-2} \, \text{V}\). - We have: \[ 0.23 \, \text{V} = 23 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{V} \] - Thus, the value of \(x\) is \(23\). ### Final Answer: The value of \(x\) is **23**.
