Cell Potential and Free Energy

AP Chemistry· difficulty 4/5

Use a galvanic cell with Sn|Sn²⁺ and Ag|Ag⁺.

Half-reaction E° (V) Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag +0.80 Fe³⁺ + e⁻ → Fe²⁺ +0.77 Sn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Sn -0.14

What is E°cell?

  • A

    +0.94 V

    check_circle
  • B

    -0.94 V

  • C

    +0.66 V

  • D

    +0.80 V

Explanation

Cathode = Ag⁺/Ag (+0.80 V), anode = Sn²⁺/Sn (-0.14 V): E°cell = +0.80 - (-0.14) = +0.94 V.
