Question

(a) For the reaction

$2 A g C I (s) + H_{2} (g) (1 a t m) ⟶ 2 A g (s) + 2 H^{+} (0.1 M) + 2 C I^{-} (0.1 M),$

$Δ G^{\circ}$ = - 43600 J at $25^{\circ} C .$

Calculate the e.m.f. of the cell

$[l o g 10^{- n} = - n]$

(b) Define fuel cell and write its two advantages.

Solution

(a) $Δ G^{\circ} = - n F E_{c e l l}^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow - 43600 = - 2 \times 96500 \times E_{c e l l}^{\circ}$

$E_{c e l l}^{\circ}$ = 0.226 V

$E_{c e l l} = E_{c e l l}^{\circ} - \frac{0.0591}{n} l o g \frac{[H^{+}]^{2} [C I^{-}]^{2}}{[H_{2}]}$

= $0.226 - \frac{0.0591}{2} l o g \frac{(0.1)^{2} (0.1)^{2}}{(1)}$

= $0.226 - \frac{0.0591}{2} l o g 10^{- 4}$

= $0.226 - \frac{0.0591}{2} \times - 4$

= 0.226 + 0.118 = 0.344 V

(b) Cell which converts the chemical energy, produced by the combustion of fuels into electrical energy is called fuel cell.

Ex : $H_{2} - O_{2}$ fuel cell.

Advantages :

(i) High efficiency

(ii) Non-polluting
