Consider the cell Pt ( s ) | H _ 2 ( s ) ( latm )| H ^ + (aq, [ H ^...

Consider the cell Pt(s)∣H2(s)(latm)∣H+(aq,[H+]=1)∣∣Fe3+(aq),Fe2+(aq)∣Pt(s)Pt ( s ) \left|{H}_{2} ( s ) ( latm )\right|{H}^{+}\left(aq, \left[{H}^{+}\right] = 1\right) | | {Fe}^{3 +} ( aq ) , {Fe}^{2 +} ( aq ) ∣ Pt ( s )

Given: EFe3+/Fe2+°=0.771V{E}_{{Fe}^{3 +} / {Fe}^{2 +}} ° = 0 . 771V and EH+/12H2°=0V,T=298K{E}_{{H}^{+} / \dfrac{1}{2}{H}_{2}} ° = 0V, T = 298K

If the potential of the cell is 0.712V0 . 712V the ratio of concentration of Fe2+{Fe}^{2 +} to Fe3+{Fe}^{3 +} is
(Nearest integer)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Cell reaction which occurs:
12H2(g)+Fe3+(aq.)⟶H+(aq)+Fe2+(aq.)\dfrac{1}{2}{H}_{2} ( g ) + {Fe}^{3 +}\text{(aq.)} ⟶ {H}^{+} ( aq ) + {Fe}^{2 +}\text{(aq.)}
Using Nernst' equation:

E=Eo−0.0591log[Fe2+][Fe3+]E = {E}^{o} - \dfrac{0 . 059}{1}log\dfrac{\left[{Fe}^{2 +}\right]}{\left[{Fe}^{3 +}\right]}

⇒0.712=(0.771−0)−0.0591log[Fe2+][Fe3+]⇒ 0 . 712 = ( 0 . 771 - 0 ) - \dfrac{0 . 059}{1}log\dfrac{\left[{Fe}^{2 +}\right]}{\left[{Fe}^{3 +}\right]}

⇒log[Fe2+][Fe3+]=(0.771−0712)0.059=1⇒ log\dfrac{\left[{Fe}^{2 +}\right]}{\left[{Fe}^{3 +}\right]} = \dfrac{( 0 . 771 - 0712 )}{0 . 059} = 1

⇒[Fe2+][Fe3+]=10⇒ \dfrac{\left[{Fe}^{2 +}\right]}{\left[{Fe}^{3 +}\right]} = 10
