Q.

A volume of x mL of 5 M NaHCO solution was mixed with 10 mL of 2 M HCO solution to make an electrolytic buffer. If the same buffer was used in the following electrochemical cell to record a cell potential of 235.3 mV, then the value of x = __________ mL (nearest integer).

Sn(s) | Sn(OH)62- (0.5 M) | HSnO2- (0.05 M) | OH- | Bi2O3(s) | Bi(s)

Consider upto one place of decimal for intermediate calculations   [2026]

Given:

 [EHSnO2- |Sn(OH)62-=-0.9 VEBi2O3|Bi=-0.44 VpKa(H2CO3)=6.112.303RTF=0.059 VAntilog (1.29)=19.5]
