Based on the cell diagram, Fe(s) | Fe^₂+(aq) || O₂(g) | H⁺(aq) | H₂O(l ) | Pt(s), which statement below is FALSE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell diagram indicates that Fe (iron) is the species being oxidized at the anode, and O2 (oxygen) is being reduced at the cathode. There is no mention of H^{F1F1F1S1uf02bF1F1F10} being oxidized at the anode, making option C the false statement. The presence of H+ ions in the cell diagram suggests acidic conditions, and the overall reaction involves the transfer of electrons, typically two or four depending on the specific reaction between iron and oxygen in acidic conditions.
