If the half-cell reaction $A + e^- \to A^-$ has a large negative reduction potential,it follows that

  • A
    $A$ is readily reduced
  • B
    $A$ is readily oxidized
  • C
    $A^-$ is readily reduced
  • D
    $A^-$ is readily oxidized

What is the standard cell potential for the cell $Zn | Zn^{2+} (1M) || Cu^{2+} (1M) | Cu$? Given $E^o$ for $Zn^{2+} | Zn = -0.76 \ V$ and $E^o$ for $Cu^{2+} | Cu = +0.34 \ V$.

Identify the reaction from the following that occupies the top position in the $EMF$ series (standard reduction potential) at $298 \; K$.

Fluorine is the best oxidising agent because it has

Given $:$
$(i) \, Cu^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu \,, \, E^o = 0.337 \, V$
$(ii) \, Cu^{2+} + e^- \rightarrow Cu^{+} \,, \, E^o = 0.153 \, V$
Electrode potential,$E^o$ for the reaction,
$Cu^{+} + e^- \rightarrow Cu \,,$ will be $............$ $V$.

The electrode potentials are given as follows:
$Fe_{(aq)}^{3+} + e^- \to Fe_{(aq)}^{2+}$; $E^o = 0.771 \, V$
