Q.

In the given electrochemical cell, Ag(s)|AgCl(s)|FeCl2(aq),FeCl3(aq)|Pt(s) at 298 K, the cell potential (Ecell) will increase when:         [2026]

A. Concentration of Fe2+ is increased.
B. Concentration of Fe3+ is decreased.
C. Concentration of Fe2+ is decreased.
D. Concentration of Fe3+ is increased.
E. Concentration of Cl- is increased.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1 C, D and E only  
2 B only  
3 A and B only  
4 A and E only  

Ans.

(1)

Cl(aq)-+Ag(s)+Fe(aq)3+Fe(aq)2++AgCl(s)

Ecell=Ecell-0.0591log[Fe2+][Cl-][Fe3+]
