Use the standard electrode potential for A, B, C, D and F given below to answer the questions that follows. The letters do not represent the actual symbols of the elements

EQ volts

A (aq) 2+ + 2e → A(s) - 2.90V

B (aq) 2+ 2e →B(s) - 2.38V

C (aq) + + e→ ½ C2 - 0.00V

D (aq) +2 + 2e → D(s) + 0.34V

½ Fe2 + e → F (aq) + 2.87V

(i) Which element is likely to be hydrogen? Give a reason for your answer

(2mks)

(ii) What is EQ value for the strongest reducing agent? (1 mk)

(iii) In the space provide, draw a labeled diagram of the electrochemical cell that would be obtained when a half cells of element “B” and “D are combined (3mks)

(iv) Calculate the EQ value of the electrochemical cell constructed in (iii) above
