Question

Consider the following cell
Pt|H2(P1 atm)|H+(M1)||H+(M2)|H2(P2 atm)|Pt
where P1 and P2 are pressures. M1 and M2 are molarities .
What will be the emf of cell at 25C If P1=P2 and M1 is 50% higher than M2 ?
Repeat the magnitude of emf by multiplying with 10000.
[Take : 2.303RTF=0.06and log 3=0.48,log2=0.3]

Solution

Pt|H2(P1 atm) | H+(M1) | |H+(M2) | H2(P2 atm) | Pt
at anode H2 2H++2e
P1 (M1)
at cathode 2H+ H2
(M2) P2
net cell reaction 2H++H2(P1) 2H++H2(P2)
(M2) (M1)
Ecell=E0cell0.062log[H+]2(P2)(H+)2(P1)P1=P2
E0cell=0
Ecell=0.062log[H+]2M1[H+]2M2
=0.062log(1.5)2=0.0108V
0.0108×10000=108
