Consider the following half cell reaction
Cr2O72−(aq)+6e−+14H+(aq)\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}(\mathrm{aq})+6 \mathrm{e}^{-}+14 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}) →2Cr3+(aq)+7H2O(l)\rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}(\mathrm{aq})+7 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})
The reaction was conducted with the ratio of [Cr3+]2[Cr2O72−]=10−6\frac{\left[\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}\right]^2}{\left[\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}\right]}=10^{-6}. The pH value at which the EMF of the half cell will become zero is ________. (nearest integer value)
[Given : standard half cell reduction potential
ECr2O72−,H+/Cr3+o=1.33 V,2.303RT F=0.059 V]\left.\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{2-}, \mathrm{H}^{+} / \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}}^{\mathrm{o}}=1.33 \mathrm{~V}, \frac{2.303 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{~F}}=0.059 \mathrm{~V}\right]

Step-by-step solution

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_{7 \text{ (aq) }^{-2}+14 \mathrm{H}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+}+6 \mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cr}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+3}+7 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\ell)} \\ & \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{R}}=\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{R}^0-\frac{0.059}{6} \log \frac{\left[\mathrm{Cr}^{+3}\right]^2}{\left[\mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7^{-2}\right]\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]^{14}} \\ & 0=1.33-\frac{0.059}{6} \log \frac{10^{-6}}{\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]^{14}} \\ & \frac{1.33 \times 6}{0.059}=\log \frac{10^{-6}}{[\mathrm{H}]^{14}} \\ & 135.254=-6-14 \log \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right] \\ & 141.254=14 \mathrm{pH} \\ & \mathrm{pH}=\frac{141.254}{14}=10.08\end{aligned}
