Question : 5
Total: 12
(a) Calculate rG and logKc for the following cell:
Ni(s)+2Ag+(aq)Ni2+(aq)+2Ag( s)
Given that Ecell=1.05V,1F=96,500Cmol1
OR
(b) Calculate the e.m.f. of the following cell at 298K :
Fe(s)|Fe2+(0.001M)||H+(0.01M)|H2(g)
(1 bar) | Pt (s)
Given that Ecell =0.44V
[log2=0.3010,log3=0.4771,log10=1]
Solution:  
According to the equation,
Ni+2Ag+Ni2++2Ag
G=nFE
where G=Gibb ' free energy
G=2×96500×1.05
N= No. of electrons gain or lost =2
G=202.650kJ
F= Faraday's constant =96500
E= Standard emf =1.05V
The relation between Gibb's free energy and Equilibrium constant is given by equation
Ecell=

=35.53

Kc=3.39×1035
OR
According to the equation,
Fe( s)+2H+(aq)Fe+2(aq)+H2(g)
E°cell =E°cathode E°anode
E°cell =0(0.44)V
E°cell =+0.44V
By applying Nernst Equation,
Ecell =E°cell
