Find the emf of the cell in which the following reaction takes place at 298 K
Ni(s)+2Ag+(0.001M)⟶Ni2+(0.001M)+2Ag(s)
Given that Ecell∘=10.5 V, 2.303RTF=0.059 at 298 K [2022]
(3)
According to Nernst equation,
E=Ecell∘-0.059nlog[Ni2+][Ag+]2
Ecell∘=1.05 (Given)
Note : Please read 10.5 as 1.05 in question.
E=1.05-0.0592log0.001(0.001)2
=1.05-0.0592log103 =1.05-0.059×32
=1.05-0.0885=0.9615 V
