At 298 K, the standard electrode potentials of Cu2+ / Cu, Zn2+ / Zn, Fe2+ / Fe and Ag+ / Ag are 0.34 V, $$-$$0.76 V, $$-$$0.44 V V and 0.80 V, respectively.
On the basis of standard electrode potential, predict which of the following reaction cannot occur?
Given below are half cell reactions:
$$MnO_4^ - + 8{H^ + } + 5{e^ - } \to M{n^{2 + }} + 4{H_2}O$$,
$$E_{M{n^{2 + }}/MnO_4^ - }^o = - 1.510\,V$$
$${1 \over 2}{O_2} + 2{H^ + } + 2{e^ - } \to {H_2}O$$
$$E_{{O_2}/{H_2}O}^o = + 1.223\,V$$
Will the permanganate ion, $$MnO_4^ - $$ liberate O2 from water in the presence of an acid?
Find the emf of the cell in which the following reaction takes place at 298 K
Ni(s) + 2Ag+ (0.001 M) $$\to$$ Ni2+ (0.001 M) + 2Ag(s)
(Given that E$$_{cell}^o$$ = 10.5 V, $${{2.303\,RT} \over F} = 0.059$$ at 298 K)
