Question
Q IN THAT Fe QUES ANSWER GIVEN IS -VE 0.405 BUT ACC. TO THIS METHOD ANSWER DO NOT MATCH
Q I STILL DIDNOT UNDERSTAND CO & CO2 RELATION
Joshi sir comment
Fe -----> Fe++ + 2e-
so E for the new reaction = [1F(0.77) + 3F(0.04)]/2F = 0.89/2 = 0.445
so it will be -0.445 for the reverse, you are asking for reduction and i submitted the answer for oxidation so the duality created.
according to the given reaction we get 2L monooxide by 1L dioxide,
initially litres of CO2 = x so it will form 2x litres of CO
and 1-x litres CO are present from the start so total litres of CO = 2x+1-x = 1+x
