The cell potential for Zn| Zn ^ 2 + ( aq ) ‖ Sn ^ x + |Sn is 0 ....

The cell potential for Zn∣Zn2+(aq)‖Snx+∣SnZn\left|{Zn}^{2 +} ( aq ) ‖ {Sn}^{x +}\right|Sn is 0.801V0 . 801V at 298K298K. The reaction quotient for the above reaction is 10−2{10}^{- 2}. The number of electrons involved in the given electrochemical cell reaction is _____ .
(Given EZn2+∣Zn0=−0.763V,ESnx+∣Sn0=+0.008V{E}_{{Zn}^{2 +} ∣ Zn}^{0} = - 0 . 763V, {E}_{{Sn}^{x +} | Sn}^{0} = + 0 . 008V and 2.303RTF=0.06V\dfrac{2 . 303RT}{F} = 0 . 06V)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

E=E0−2.303RTnFlogQE = {E}^{0} - \dfrac{2 . 303RT}{nF}logQ

Here,

E=+0.801VE0=ECathode∘−EAnode∘(BothareSRPvalues)E0=0.008−(−0.763)E = + 0 . 801V{E}^{0} = {E}_{Cathode}^{∘} - {E}_{Anode}^{∘}\left(BothareSRPvalues\right){E}^{0} = 0 . 008 - \left(- 0 . 763\right)

=+0.771V= + 0 . 771V

∴0.801=+0.771−0.06nlog10−2∴ 0 . 801 = + 0 . 771 - \dfrac{0 . 06}{n}log{10}^{- 2}

⇒n=4⇒ n = 4
