For the following reaction, Pb(s)+Hg2SO4(s)⇌PbSO4(s)+2Hg(l); Eocell=0.92V Ksp(PbSO4)=2×10−8,Ksp(Hg2SO4)=1×10−6
Hence, Ecell is:

Solution
The correct option is D0.95V We know, Q=[Pb2+][Hg2+2]=√Ksp(PbSO4)√Ksp(Hg2SO4)=√2×10−8√1×10−6 =√2×10−2=0.14
By using the relation, Ecell=Eocell−0.0592log0.14
Substituting the values, we get =0.92−0.0592×(−0.85) =0.945V≈0.95V
