The electrode potential of the following half cell at 298K298K

XX\left|{X}^{2 +}\left(0 . 001M\right) ‖ {Y}^{2 +}\left(0 . 01M\right)\right|Y is _____ ×10−2V\times {10}^{- 2}V (Nearest integer)

Given : EX2+∣X0=−2.36V{E}_{{X}^{2 +} ∣ X}^{0} = - 2 . 36V

EY2+Y0=+0.36V{E}_{{Y}^{2 +}Y}^{0} = + 0 . 36V

2.303RTF=0.06V\dfrac{2 . 303RT}{F} = 0 . 06V

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The net cell reaction can be written as follows,

X+Y2+→Y+X2+X + {Y}^{2 +} \to Y + {X}^{2 +}

Ecell0=Ecathode0−Eanode0{E}_{cell}^{0} = {E}_{cathode}^{0} - {E}_{anode}^{0}(Both are SRP values)

ECell0=0.36−(−2.36)=2.72V{E}_{Cell}^{0} = 0 . 36 - \left(- 2 . 36\right) = 2 . 72V

Now, the Nernst equation is,

Ecell=Ecell0−0.06nlog[X2+][Y2+]{E}_{cell} = {E}_{cell}^{0} - \dfrac{0 . 06}{n}log\dfrac{\left[{X}^{2 +}\right]}{\left[{Y}^{2 +}\right]}

n=n =The number of electrons involved in the net reaction.

ECell=2.72−0.062log0.0010.01{E}_{Cell} = 2 . 72 - \dfrac{0 . 06}{2}log\dfrac{0 . 001}{0 . 01}

=2.72+0.03=2.75V= 2 . 72 + 0 . 03 = 2 . 75V

=275×10−2V= 275 \times {10}^{- 2}V
