                    A hypothetical electrochemical cell is shown below                                                                                          \[A|{{A}^{+}}(xM)||{{B}^{+}}(yM)|B\]                 The emf measured is + 0.20 V. The cell reaction is:

    A)                  \[{{A}^{+}}+B\xrightarrow{{}}A+{{B}^{+}}\]                                       

    B)                  \[{{A}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}A;\,{{B}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\to B\]

    C)                  the cell reaction cannot be predicted    

    D)                  \[A+{{B}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{A}^{+}}+B\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Electrochemical cell                 \[A\,|{{A}^{+}}\,(xM)\,|\,|{{B}^{+}}(yM)|\,B\]                 The emf of cell is + 0.20 V. So cell reaction is possible. The half cell reaction are given as follows:                 (i) At negative pole:                 \[A\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{A}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}(oxidation)\]                 (ii) At positive pole:                 \[{{B}^{+}}+{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}B(reduction)\]                 Hence, cell reaction is                 \[A+{{B}^{+}}\to {{A}^{+}}+{{B}^{-}},\,E_{cell}^{o}=+0.20\,V\]
