234 – If two iron electrodes are used in an electrolytic cell to purify municipal water, which statement is correct?
$$\text{Fe}^{3+}(\text{aq}) + 3\text{e}^- \rightleftharpoons \text{Fe(s)},\ E^\circ = -0.44\ \text{V}$$
$$\text{O}_2(\text{g}) + 4\text{H}^+(\text{aq}) + 4\text{e}^- \rightleftharpoons 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)},\ E^\circ = +1.23\ \text{V}$$
$$2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)} + 2\text{e}^- \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_2(\text{g}) + 2\text{OH}^-(\text{aq}),\ E^\circ = -0.83\ \text{V}$$
  1. [(1)] At the anode, hydrogen gas is released.
  2. [(2)] The mass of gas released at both poles is equal.
  3. [(3)] By passing electric current, iron(II) hydroxide is produced.
  4. [(4)] The overall reaction of this cell is the reverse of the overall reaction of a concentrated sodium chloride solution.
