Answer:

0.46 V

Explanation:

The emf for the cell is given by:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

From the  given balanced chemical equation, we can deduce that Fe²⁺ has been oxidized to Fe³⁺, and O reduced  from 0 to negative 2, according to the half cell reactions:

4Fe²⁺  ⇒ Fe³⁺ + 4e⁻           oxidation

O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O   reduction

From reference tables for the standard reduction potential, we get

Eº red Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺   Eºred = 0.77 V  

Eº red O₂ / H₂O      Eºred = 1.23 V

Now all we need to do is change the sign of Eº reduction for the species being oxidized ( Fe²⁺ ) and add it to Eº reduction  O₂:

Eº cell =   Eº oxidation + Eº reduction = - (0.77 V ) + 1.23 V = 0.46 V

Answer: D. They show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Explanation:

Theory is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon (the existence of the moon in this case) and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.

In this sense, there are many theories about the Earth's moon formation and two of the "accepted" theories are described before the question. In addition, both theories explain in a certain way the reason why the Moon is predominantly composed of elements similar to those found on Earth.

However, both theories seem to be incomplete when trying to explain our Moon's origin.
