Q.

At 298 K, a 1 litre solution containing 10 mmol of Cr2O72- and 100 mmol of Cr3+ shows a pH of 3.0.

Given:  Cr2O72-Cr3+,  E°=1.330V

and  2.303RTF=0.059 V

The potential for the half-cell reaction is x×10-3V. The value of x is _______.          [2023]


Ans.

(917)

Cr2O72-+14H++6e-2Cr3++7H2O

E=1.33-0.0596log(0.1)2(10-2)(10-3)14

    =1.33-0.0596×42=0.917

E=917×10-3 Vx=917
