Class 12 Chemistry - Chapter Electrochemistry NCERT Solutions | Consult the table of standard electrode

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 12th Chemistry - Chapter Electrochemistry. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 3: consult the table of standard electrode potentials....
Question 3

Consult the table of standard electrode potentials and suggest three substances that can oxidise ferrous ions under suitable conditions.

Answer

Substances that are stronger oxidising agents than ferrous ions can oxidise ferrous ions.

Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e-1  ;   Eø =  - 0.77 V

This implies that the substances having higher reduction potentials than +0.77 V can oxidise ferrous ions to ferric ions.

Three substances that can do so are F2, Cl2, and O2.
