Some standard electrode potentials at 298 K are given below:

Pb2+/Pb-0.13 V

Ni2+/Ni-0.24 V

Cd2+/Cd-0.40 V

Fe2+/Fe-0.44 V

To a solution containing 0.001 M of X2+ and 0.1 M of Y2+, the metal rods X and Y are inserted (at 298 K) and connected by a conducting wire. This resulted in dissolution of X. The correct combination(s) of X and Y, respectively, is(are)

Relation between Gibb's Free Energy and EMF of a Cell Consider a 70% efficient hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell working under standard conditions at 1 bar and 298 K. Its cell reaction is

H2(g)+12O2(g)H2O(l)

The work derived from the cell on the consumption of 1.0×10-3 mol of H2(g) is used to compress 1.00 mol of a monoatomic ideal gas in a thermally insulated container. What is the change in the temperature (in K ) of the ideal gas?

The standard reduction potentials for the two half-cells are given below.

O2(g)+4H+(aq)+4e-2H2O(l),  E0=1.23 V,

2H+(aq)+2e-H2(g),  E0=0.00 V
