Solution

Using Nernst Equation,
$E_{c e l l} = E_{c e l l}^{\circ} - \frac{0.06}{2} log \frac{[H^{+}]^{2} [C l^{-}]^{2}}{P_{H_{2}}}$
$\Rightarrow 0.43 = 0.19 - \frac{0.06}{2} log \frac{[H^{+}]^{2} \times (10^{- 3})^{2}}{10^{- 2}} \Rightarrow 0.43 = 0.19 - \frac{0.06}{2} log [H^{+}]^{2} \times (10^{- 2})^{2} \Rightarrow 0.43 = 0.19 - 0.06 log [H^{+}] + 0.12 \Rightarrow 0.12 = 0.06 p H \Rightarrow p H = 2$
