MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    The potential of a galvanic cell is measured at 0.36 V. If one of the half cell reactions is Cd2+ + 2e- → Cd (-0.40 V) which occurs as the reduction reaction. Which of the following could be the other half cell reaction?

     

    A

    ClO3- + H2O + 2e- → ClO2- + 2OH- (0.36 V)

    B

    Fe3+ + e- → Fe2+ (0.76 V)

    C

    Fe2+ + 2e- → Fe (-0.36 V)

    D

    Zn2+ + 2e- → Zn (-0.76 V)
