When 4A of current is passed through a 1.0L, 0.10 M Fe\(^3+\)(aq) solution for 1 hour, it is partly reduced to Fe(s) and partly to Fe\(^2+\)(aq). Identify the incorrect statement.

Ammonia reacts with water to form the ammonium ion and hydroxide ion. \[ {NH}_3 + {H}_2{O} \longrightarrow {NH}_4^+ + {OH}^- \] According to the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases, what is the conjugate acid of ammonia?

Using the above information, determine the standard reduction potential for the following reaction,
\[ 2M(s) + 3Zn^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2M^{3+}(aq) + 3Zn(s); \quad E^\circ = 0.90V \] \[ Zn^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow Zn(s); \quad E^\circ = -0.76V \]

The following equations indicate reactions that occur spontaneously.
Fe(s) + NiCl$_2$(aq) $\rightarrow$ FeCl$_2$(aq) + Ni(s)
Zn(s) + FeCl$_2$(aq) $\rightarrow$ ZnCl$_2$(aq) + Fe(s)
Ni(s) + PbCl$_2$(aq) $\rightarrow$ NiCl$_2$(aq) + Pb(s)
Which is the increasing order of the reactivity of the metals?

Given that
\[ \text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Zn}(s); \quad E^\circ_{\text{red}} = -0.76\,\text{V} \] \[ \text{Cr}^{3+}(aq) + 3e^- \rightarrow \text{Cr}(s); \quad E^\circ_{\text{red}} = -0.74\,\text{V} \] Calculate the equilibrium constant K at 25°C for the following balanced reaction,
\[ 3\text{Zn}(s) + 2\text{Cr}^{3+}(aq) \rightarrow 3\text{Zn}^{2+}(aq) + 2\text{Cr}(s) \]

Rechargeable batteries have become an essential part of our environmentally conscientious society. The nickel-cadmium cell battery is a rechargeable battery used in small electronic devices. The half reactions that take place in the nickel-cadmium battery during discharge are: Half reaction 1: Cd(OH)$_2$(s) + 2e$^{-}$ → Cd(s) + 2OH$^{-}$ Half reaction 2: 2NiO$_2$(s) + H$_2$O + 2e$^{-}$ → 2Ni(OH)$_2$(s) + 2OH$^{-}$ What is the oxidising agent in the nickel cadmium battery during discharge?

Which of the following is true for an electrolytic cell?

Given the following notation for an electrochemical cell,
Pt(s) $|$ H$_2$(g)$|$ H$^+$(aq) $//$ Ag$^+$(aq)$|$Ag(s)
Which of the following represents the overall balanced (net) cell reaction?
