Find the emf of the cell in which the following reaction takes place at 298K298K

Ni(s)+2Ag+(0.001M)→Ni2+(0.001M)+2Ag(s)Ni ( s ) + 2{Ag}^{+} ( 0 . 001M ) \to {Ni}^{2 +} ( 0 . 001M ) + 2Ag ( s )

(Given that E°cell=1.05V,2.303RTF=0.059E{°}_{cell} = 1 . 05V, \dfrac{2 . 303RT}{F} = 0 . 059 at 298K298K)

Options

  1. A1.385V1 . 385V
  2. B0.9615V0 . 9615V
  3. C1.05V1 . 05V
  4. D1.0385V1 . 0385V

Correct answer

B. 0.9615V0 . 9615V

Step-by-step solution

Given reaction: Ni(s)+2Ag+(0.001M)→Ni2+(0.001M)+2Ag(s)Ni ( s ) + 2{Ag}^{+} ( 0 . 001M ) \to {Ni}^{2 +} ( 0 . 001M ) + 2Ag ( s )

Applying Nernst equation we have:
E(cell)=E(cell)0−2.303RTnFlog[Ni2+][Ag][Ag+]2[Ni]{E}_{\left(cell\right)} = {E}_{\left(cell\right)}^{0} - \dfrac{2 . 303RT}{nF}log\dfrac{\left[{Ni}^{2 +}\right] [ Ag ]}{{\left[{Ag}^{+}\right]}^{2} [ Ni ]}
Active mass of solid is taken to be unity so \left[Ni\left(s\right)\right] = \left[Ag\left(s\right)\right] = 1<br/><br />{E}_{\left(cell\right)} = {E}_{\left(cell\right)}^{0} - \dfrac{0.059}{n}log\dfrac{\left[N{i}^{2 +}\right]}{{\left[A{g}^{+}\right]}^{2}}<br/><br />= 1.05 - \dfrac{0.0591}{2}log\dfrac{\left(0.001\right)}{{\left(0.001\right)}^{2}}<br/><br />= 1.05 - 0.0295\log (1\times {10}^{3} )<br/><br />= 1.05 - 0.0295 \times 3<br/><br />= 0.9615V</p><p>Therefore,theemfofthecellis</p><p>Therefore, the emf of the cell is0 . 9615V.</p><p>Note:Questionismodifiedlittlebitforacademicaccuracy.. </p><p>Note: Question is modified little bit for academic accuracy.E{°}_{cell} = 1 . 05VinplaceofE{°}_{cell} = 10 . 5V$ as given in NEET 2022 paper.
