Will Fe^2+/Fe or Fe^3+/Fe give the larger E°cell value when combined with Ni^2+/

Question

Will Fe^2+/Fe or Fe^3+/Fe give the larger E°cell value when combined with Ni^2+/Ni half-cell? Is the Ni metal acting as the anode or the cathode in your combination?

Use this small portion of thestandard Reduction Potential Table to answer the next two questions 076 074 Fe (aa) 10, will Fez./Fe or Fe"/Fe give the larger E value when combined with the Ni /Ni half-cell? Is the Ni metal acting as the anode or the cathode in your combination? 11. A student wants to make Crfs), ldentify the spontaneous oxidation-reduction reaction(s) that

Explanation / Answer

A:- Thestandard reduction potential of Fe^2+ + 2e -----> Fe ,   E^o = -0.41 V

Thestandard reduction potential of Ni^2+ + 2e -----> Ni ,   E^o = -0.23 V

The standard reduction potential of Ni is higher, so which acts as cthode (reduction reaction is takes place ), lwer reduction potential of Fe acts as anode ( oxidation reaction is takes place )

A:- Ni acts as cathode.
