Question : 21
Total: 26
Calculate emf of the following cell at 25 ∘ C :
Fe | Fe 2 + ( 0.001 M ) ∥ H + ( 0.01 M ) | H 2 ( g ) ( 1 bar ) ∣ Pt ( s )
E ∘ ( Fe 2 + ∣ Fe ) = − 0.44 V E ∘ ( H + ∣ H 2 ) = 0.00 V
Solution:
The cell reaction:
Fe ( s ) + 2 H + ( aq ) ─ ─ ─ ─ ▸ Fe 2 + ( aq ) + H 2 ( g )
E ° cell = E c ∘ − E a ∘
= [ 0 − ( − 0.44 ) ] V = 0.44 V
E cell = E ° cell −
log
E cell = 0.44 V −
log
= 0.44 V −
log ( 10 )
= 0.44 V − 0.0295 V
≈ 0.410 V
