Question

Calculate emf of the following cell at 25C.
Fe|Fe2+(0.001M)|H+(0.01M)|H2(g)(1bar)Pt(s)E(Fe2+|Fe)=0.44VF(H+/H2)=0.00V

Solution

For the given cell representation, the cell reaction will be
Fe(s)+2H+(aq)Fe2+(aq)+H2(g)
The standard emf of the cell will be
Ecell=EH+/H2EFe2+/Fe
Ecell=0(0.44)=0.44V
The Nernst equation for the cell reaction at 25C will be
Ecell=Ecell0.0891nlog[Fe2+][H+]2
=0.440.05912log0.001(0.01)2
=0.440.05912log10
=0.440.05912
Ecell=0.4105V0.41V
