Calculate the cell potential of following cell P t s H 2 g 0.1 bar BOH 0.1M | HA 0.1M H 2 g 1 bar | Pt Given K a H A = 1 0 - 7 , K b B O H = 1 0 - 5
Options
- A0.39 V
- B0.36 V
- C0.93 V
- D0.63 V
Correct answer
A. 0.39 V
Step-by-step solution
E c e l l = 0.059 2 log [ H + ] c a t h o d e 2 × [ P H 2 ] a n o d e [ H + ] a n o d e 2 × [ P H 2 ] c a t h o d e O H - = C K b = 0.1 × 1 0 - 5 = 1 0 - 3 M [ H + ] a n o d e = 1 0 - 14 1 0 - 3 = 1 0 - 11 M [ H + ] c a t h o d e = C K a = 0.1 × 1 0 - 7 = 1 0 - 4 M So E c e l l = 0.059 2 log ( 1 0 - 4 ) 2 × 0.1 ( 1 0 - 11 ) 2 × 1 = 0. 39   V .
