Question

Calculate the emf of the following cell at $25^{o} C$ $A g (s) ∣ ∣ {A g}^{+} (10^{- 3} M) ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ {C u}^{2 +} (10^{- 1} M) ∣ ∣ C u (s)$
Given: $E_{c e l l}^{o} = + 0.46 V$ and $log 10^{n} = n$

Open in App

Solution

Cathode $- C C l^{2 +} + 2 e^{-} \to C C l$
Anode $- 2 A g \to 2 A g^{+} + 2 e^{-}$
$- - - - - - - - -$
Cell reaction $C u^{2 +} + 2 A g \to 2 A g^{+} + C u$
$E_{c e l l}^{0} = + 0.46 v$
$E_{c e l l} = 0.46 V - \frac{0.0591}{2} l o g \frac{[A g^{+}]^{2}}{[C u^{2 +}]} E_{c e l l} = 0.46 V - \frac{0.0591}{2} l o g \frac{[10^{- 3}]^{2}}{[10^{- 1}]} E_{c e l l} = + 0.61 V$
Thus the Emf of the reaction is $+ 0.61 V$
