Question:

The standard emf of a cell Zn/Zn\(^{2+}\) || Fe\(^{2+}\)/Fe if electrode potentials for (Zn/Zn\(^{2+}\)) and (Fe\(^{2+}\)/Fe) are 0.763 V and -0.44 V respectively is

Show Hint

Positive EMF indicates spontaneous reaction.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
\(E_{cell} = E_{cathode} - E_{anode}\).
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Zn oxidizes (\(E_{ox} = 0.763\) V), Fe\(^{2+}\) reduces (\(E_{red} = -0.44\) V)
\(E_{cell} = 0.763 + (-0.44) = 0.323\ \mathrm{V}\)
Step 3: Final Answer:
EMF is +0.323 V.
