Consider the cell
Pt(s)|H2(g,1 atm)H+(aq, 1 M)‖Fe3+(aq).Fe2+(aq)|Pt(s)
When the potential of the cell is 0.712 V at 298 K, the ratio [Fe2+][Fe3+] is ______ (Nearest Integer).
Given: Fe3++e-=Fe2+, E0Fe3+,Fe2+|Pt=0.771
2.303RTF=0.06 V [2023]
(10)
Anode⇒12H2(g)→H+(aq)+e-
Cathode⇒Fe3++e-→Fe2+ Overall: 12H2+Fe3+→n=1H++Fe2+
Ecell=Ecell∘-0.0591log[Fe2+][Fe3+]×[H+][PH2]1/2
0.712=0.771-0.059 log[Fe2+][Fe3+]
log[Fe2+][Fe3+]=1
So [Fe2+][Fe3+]=10
