Q.

The electrode potential of the following half cell at 298 K 

X|X2+(0.001 M)||Y2+(0.01 M)|Y is ______ ×10-2V (Nearest integer).

Given :EX2+|X=-2.36 V

            EY2+|Y=+0.36 V

            2.303RTF=0.06 V                                          [2023]


Ans.

(275)

Ecell=EY2+|Y-EX2+|X=0.36-(-2.36)=2.72

Ecell=Ecell-0.062log[X2+][Y2+]

=2.72-0.03 log(11×10-410-2)

=2.72-0.03 log (11×10-2)

=2.72-0.03[log11-2]

=2.72-0.03[1-2]

=2.72+0.03

=2.75=275×10-2V
