The following electrochemical cell has been set up.
`Pt_((I))|Fe^(3+),Fe^(2+)(c=1)||Ce^(4+),Ce^(3+)(c=1)|Pt_((II))`
`E_(Fe^(3+)//Fe^(2+))=0.77V` and `E_(Ce^(4+)//Ce^(3+))^(@)=1.61V`
If an ammeter is connected between the two platinum electrode, predict the direction of flow of current. Will the current increase or decrease with time ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Flow of current is form cathode to anode (right to left)
current will decrease with time
