Question 3

Multiple Choice

Given the following two half-reactions,write the overall balanced reaction in the direction in which it is spontaneous and calculate the standard cell potential.
Ga3+(aq) +3eGa(s) Ered=0.53 VSn4+(aq) +2eSn2+(aq) Eox=+0.15 V\begin{array}{ll}\mathrm{Ga}^{3+}(a q) +3 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ga}(s) & E_{\mathrm{red}}^{\circ}=-0.53 \mathrm{~V} \\\mathrm{Sn}^{4+}(a q) +2 e^{-} \rightarrow \operatorname{Sn}^{2+}(a q) & E_{o x}^{\circ}=+0.15 \mathrm{~V} \\\end{array}


A) 2Ga3+(aq) + 3Sn2+(aq) ? 2Ga(s) + 3Sn4+(aq) E° = +0.68 V
B) 3Ga3+(aq) + 2Sn2+(aq) ? 3Ga(s) + 2Sn4+(aq) E° = -1.89 V
C) 2Ga(s) + 3Sn4+(aq) ? 2Ga3+(aq) + 3Sn2+(aq) E° = +0.68 V
D) 3Ga(s) + 2Sn4+(aq) ? 3Ga3+(aq) + 2Sn2+(aq) E° = +0.38 V
E) 2Ga(s) + 3Sn4+(aq) ? 2Ga3+(aq) + 3Sn2+(aq) E° = +1.89 V
