MHT CET2007ChemistryElectrochemistry
EMF of hydrogen electrode in term of pH is (at 1 atm pressure).
Options
- AE_ H ₂ = R T F pH
- BE_ H ₂ = R T F 1 pH
- CE_ H ₂ = 2.303 RT F pH
- DE_ H ₂ =-0.591 pH
Correct answer
D. E_ H ₂ =-0.591 pH
Step-by-step solution
2 H ⁺+2 e⁻ H ₂ According to Nernst equation, aligned E &=E^ + 0.0591 n 1 [ H ⁺ ]² E &=0- 0.0591 2 [ H ⁺ ]² &=-0.0591 pH aligned
