235 – Regarding the given oxidation–reduction reactions, which statement is
incorrect?
$$\mathrm{Ce^{4+}(aq) + e^- \rightarrow Ce^{3+}(aq)\ ,\quad E^\circ = -1/72\ V}$$ $$\mathrm{Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3e^- \rightarrow Cr(s)\ ,\quad E^\circ = -0/74\ V}$$
- $\mathrm{Ce^{3+}(aq)}$ is the reducing agent in this reaction.
- The reducing power of $\mathrm{Ce^{4+}(aq)}$ is greater than $\mathrm{Cr(s)}$.
- $E^\circ$ of the reaction equals $+0/98$ V and it proceeds spontaneously (by itself).
- The sum of stoichiometric coefficients of substances after balancing the equation is 8, and 3 electrons are exchanged in the reaction.
