Given the standard electrode potentials: $Fe^{2+}_{(aq)} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Fe_{(s)}$ $(E^o = -0.44 \ V)$ and $Fe^{3+}_{(aq)} + e^{-} \rightarrow Fe^{2+}_{(aq)}$ $(E^o = 0.77 \ V)$. If $Fe^{2+}$,$Fe^{3+}$,and a piece of $Fe$ are kept together,what happens?

  • A
    $Fe^{3+}$ concentration increases.
  • B
    $Fe^{3+}$ concentration decreases.
  • C
    The ratio $\frac{[Fe^{2+}]}{[Fe^{3+}]}$ remains constant.
  • D
    $Fe^{2+}$ concentration decreases.

Zinc can be coated on iron to produce galvanized iron,but the reverse is not possible. This is because:

Calculate $E^o_{cell}$ for the following cell in $V$:
$Zn_{(s)} | Zn^{2+}_{(aq.)} || Ag^{+}_{(aq.)} | Ag_{(s)}$
Given: $E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn} = -0.76 \ V$ ; $E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = 0.80 \ V$
