question 76

Multiple Choice

Based on the half-reactions and their respective standard reduction potentials below,which addition to an aqueous solution containing Fe(NO₃) ₂ will result in a reaction under standard-state conditions? O₂(g) + 4 H⁺ +4 e^- → 2 H₂O(l) 1.23 V
Fe³⁺(aq) + e^- → Fe²⁺(aq) 0.77 V
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → Cu(s) 0.34 V
2 H⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → H₂(g) 0.00 V
Ni²⁺(aq) + + 2 e^- → Ni(s) -0.26 V
Fe²⁺(aq) + 2 e^- → Fe(s) -0.45 V

Definitions:

Independent Variables

Variables in a statistical model that are manipulated or categorised to determine their effect on dependent variables.

Multicollinearity

A statistical phenomenon where two or more predictor variables in a multiple regression model are highly correlated, potentially distorting estimates and making the model unreliable.

Bonferroni Criterion

A statistical adjustment method used to reduce the chance of obtaining false-positive results (Type I error) when multiple hypothesis tests are performed.

Substantial Bias

A significant and often systematic distortion or prejudice in data or results, leading to erroneous conclusions.
