Question

Which of the following is the cell reaction that occurs when the following half-cells are combined?
`I_2 + 2e^(-) to 2I^(-) (1M) , E^@=+0.54 V`
`Br_2+2e^(-) to 2Br (1 M) , E^@=+1.09 V`
A. `2Br^(-) + I_2 to Br_2 + 2I^-`
B. `I_2 + Br_2 to 2I^(-) + 2Br^-`
C. `2I^(-) + Br_2 to I_2 + 2Br^-`
D. `2I^(-) + 2Br^(-) to I_2 + Br_2`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
`{:(2I^(-) to I_2 + 2e^(-),"(Oxidation)"),(Br_2 + 2e^(-) to 2Br^(-),"(Reduction)"),(2I^(-)+Br_2 to I_2 + 2Br^(-),"is net cell reaction"):}`
