Answer #1

Fe 2+ + 2 e− Fe(s)   E º =−0.44 V;

O 2 + 4 H+ + 4 e− 2 H2O E º =−1.23 V

Given reactions are reduction reactions as their is gain of electrons . The significance of electrode potential is that element having more positive value of reduction potential have more tendency to undergo reduction.

If we compare reduction potentials , it is clear that Fe will reduce and H2O will oxidise .  

The cell will be : H2O (l) I O 2(g) Il Fe 2+(aq) l Fe(s)

Reaction at anode :2 H2O (l)  O 2 (g) + 4 H+(aq) + 4 e−

Reaction at cathode :  2 Fe 2+(aq) + 4 e−2 Fe(s)

Overall reaction :   2 Fe 2+(aq) + 2 H2O (l)  O 2(g) + 4 H+(aq) + 2 Fe (s)

E 0cell = E 0cathode - E 0anode = -0.44 - (-1.23) =0.79 V
