Question

At equimolar concentration of $F e^{2 +} and F e^{3 +}$ , what must $[A g^{+}]$ be so that the voltage of the galvanic cell made from $(A g^{+} / A g and F e^{3 +} / F e^{2 +})$ electrodes equals zero? The reaction is $F e^{2 +} + A g^{+} ⇌ F e^{3 +} + A g$ . (Given: $E_{A g^{+} / A g}^{0} = 0.799$ volt and $E_{F e^{+} / F e^{2 +}}^{0} = 0.771 volt., 10^{- 0.47} = 2.94)$ Give your answer upto two decimal only.

Solution

We know that,
$E_{c e l l}^{0} = E_{F e^{2 +} / F e^{3 +}}^{0} + E_{A g^{+} / A g}^{0}$
$= - 0.771 + 0.799 = 0.028 volt$
At equilibrium, $E_{c e l l} = 0$
By using Nernst equation,
$0 = E_{c e l l}^{0} - \frac{0.0591}{1} log \frac{[F e^{3 +}]}{[F e^{2 +}] [A g^{+}]}$
$E_{c e l l}^{0} = 0.0591 log \frac{1}{[A g^{+}]}$
$[A g^{+}] = 0.34$
