question 36

Multiple Choice

Calculate the cell potential for the following unbalanced reaction that takes place in an electrochemical cell at 25 °C when [ $\mathrm { Mg } ^ { 2 + }$ ] = 0.000612 M and [ $\mathrm { Fe } ^ { 3 + }$ ] = 1.29 M
$\quad$$\quad$ Mg(s) + $\mathrm { Fe } ^ { 3 + }$ (aq) ? $\mathrm { Mg } ^ { 2 + }$ (aq) + Fe(s)
E°(Mg²⁺/Mg) = -2.37 V and E°(Fe³⁺/Fe) = -0.036 V

• A)-3.42 V
• B)+3.42 V
• C)-4.32 V
• D)+2.43 V
• E)+3.24 V
