At 298K298K, a 11 litre solution containing 10mmol10mmol of Cr2O72−{Cr}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -} and 100mmol100mmol of Cr3+{Cr}^{3 +} shows a pHpH of 3.03 . 0.

Given : Cr2O7→2−Cr3+;E0=1.330V{Cr}_{2}{O}_{7} \to 2 - {Cr}^{3 +}; {E}^{0} = 1 . 330V and 2.303RTF=0.059V\dfrac{2 . 303RT}{F} = 0 . 059V

The potential for the half cell reaction is x×10−3Vx \times {10}^{- 3}V . The value of xx is _____ .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The balanced half-reaction can be written as follows,

Cr2O72−+14H++6e−→2Cr3++7H2O{Cr}_{2}{O}_{7}^{2 -} + 14{H}^{+} + 6{e}^{-} \to 2{Cr}^{3 +} + 7{H}_{2}O

Using Nernst equation

Ecell=Ecello−0.059nlog[products][reactants]{E}_{cell} = {E}_{cell}^{o} - \dfrac{0 . 059}{n}log\dfrac{\left[products\right]}{\left[reactants\right]}

For the above reaction, number of electrons involved n = 6.

E=1.33−0.0596log(0.1)2(10−2)(10−3)14E = 1 . 33 - \dfrac{0 . 059}{6}log\dfrac{{\left(0 . 1\right)}^{2}}{\left({10}^{- 2}\right){\left({10}^{- 3}\right)}^{14}}

E=1.33−0.0596×42=0.917E = 1 . 33 - \dfrac{0 . 059}{6} \times 42 = 0 . 917

E=917×10−3E = 917 \times {10}^{- 3}

x=917x = 917.
